OK as you all know, it took 4 years for us to get pregnant with this baby which is our 2nd child. My friend has been trying almost 6 years for her third. Ever since I got pregnant she's been distant. Tonight she actually gets on yahoo and she IMs me first to talk, but she wasnt very interested in it. She asked a little about the pregnancy which I replied with the bare basics because I know she's hurting and it took a lot to ask me about it. She then had to leave suddenly.
I understand her feelings, but I also think that she's not being very fair. We shared many laughs and many tears together over the last 4 years, and basically that meant nothing now. -------------------- |

It is very sad. I understand her pain, and know that as my friends became pregnant and I did not, I probably made my self distant as well. Maybe you need to bring the issue out and talk about it. It is hard for both of you, but at least you understand her pain. Some of my friends had no idea what it was like.

I'm sorry. It's probably a hard situation for both of you. She did make the effort to talk and ask about the pregnancy, I am sure that was not easy for her. I agree, maybe ask her to lunch and talk face to face and let her know that you understand this is hard for her, and I am sure that will only open the doorway for heartfelt, honest conversation. Hopefully she will realize that you need your friend right now too.
