HEY LADIES I FEEL YOUR PAIN. ITS NOT EASY TO BE PREGNANT AND NOT GET TO HAVE A CLOSE FRIEND. I MOVED A LITTLE FAR FROM MINE AND SOMETIMES I FEEL LONELY HERE CAUSE ITS NOT LIKE THEY CAN JUST COME OVER OFTEN. ITS ALSO DIFFRENT WHEN YOUR MARRIED WITH A BABY ON THE WAY AND THEIR NOT. I AM LUCKY THAT I DO HAVE MATURE FRIENDS BUT ONCE A MONTH IS JUST NOT ENOUPH SOMETIMES.

hey there...

i was 23 when i got pregnant with my son. i was also single. i understand your pain by not having many friends. especially friends that's aren't pregnant or haven't been. most of my friends were married or had been married and all had kids of their own and didn't want to deal with me and my issues. i did have one friend though who helped me through it. she was also pregnant and was about 5 months ahead of me. i've never been married, but like i said friends of mine have been.

best wishes to you and your family

i was 21 when i got pregnant and i used to be heavy in the party lifestyle because my fiance used to manage nightclubs...and all my friends kept their lifestyles and i lost a lot of them when i gave it up for my son.  i understand how hard it is to feel like you don't have anybody or like you're alienated from your friends...but lemme tell you, seeing my son for the first time, i didn't even care! good luck and best wishes!

Yep I know what you mean, when i was pregnant I lived in Texas with only a few friends so when we moved back to California (where i am from) i thought i was going to get to hang out with my friends all the time, one of my friends is married with a daughter so i figured we would have play-dates and stuff, ha ha yeah that never happened, I moved an hour away from them and they acted like I moved to china they came down once in a whole year and left after about 2 hours after i planned a dinner and everything. Now I live back by them a whole 5 min away they haven't been over since Nov and i haven't seen them since Jan. So yeah I have accepted it luckily i am super close to my sister.

i was 19 when i got pregnant and i was 20 when i had my baby, at the time all of my friends were having fun,  and were dating and going to parties. I was going to the doctor, and painting the nursery, and we had our differences with that, because none of my friends could relate to my situations. while i was getting ready to have a baby and buying a house at the same time, my best friend was going on blind dates, and still living with her parents. so it was hard for me to be able to have a social life and a married life at the same time, because there was just no one to talk to.

I can totally relate. I am almost 27 and had both my girls by the time I was 22. I lost all my friends because they wanted to party and got tired of asking me because they knew I couldn't go. I think over time you just get use to it. I was very fortunate that I have one friend that I have been to hell and back with her. When I got pregnant with my first child she split because she didn't know how to handle it and we didn't talk when she had her first but after many years we talk everyday now.
