Happy birthday. I know this might not help how you feel right now but sometimes things happen for a reason. I’m not friends with anyone that I was friends with before having my first baby & I feel really good about it now. Even including friends of years, one being a best friend of 20 plus years. I think if people make you feel like they have been then they are not worth having as friends. You deserve better than that. As the person above has mentioned you will make new friends. I have all new mum friends now who are there for me as I am for them & we are like minded it’s really nice. I hope you’re ok & manage to enjoy your birthday plus when your baby is here you’ll realise what is important & it won’t be friends who haven’t been there for you.
I’ve felt like this too and as selfish as it is I think us moving on in relationships/lives reminds them that they aren’t… It’s sad but it’s life and I agree with the above, sure we’ll all find new mum friends🥰
Slightly different context here but the sentiment and how to heal is the same: https://www.instagram.com/p/DBARYaEgOxB/?igsh=MThqMzV3dWY3cGxobw== You’ll be amazed how many new friends having a baby brings, it’s inevitable and almost a given that you will lose some along the way though, especially if you’re the first in the group. Maybe one day they’ll understand, especially if they go on to have kids too, however some never will. It’s easier to make peace than hold a grudge I promise. Maybe sign up to a group like NCT so you have a village post birth, we came away as a group of 10 couples and it was a lifesaver!
