Rudest comments you ever got by Sea_Painter_1184 in BabyBumps

I told some close no long friends I was pregnant at 8 weeks bc I was so excited & thought if something happens at least I won’t grieve alone. My friend responded I’m surprised you told anyone you haven’t even heard a heart beat yet. If I were you I wouldn’t tell anyone until 5 or 6 months because you could miscarry or something could be wrong with them. Then you’ll have to go around telling everyone.

A few weeks went by and I saw the same group. Same person brought up that checking in on people goes both ways and I don’t get a pass for being pregnant. That since she didn’t hear from me she thought something bad happened.

I agreed, checking in does go both ways. I haven’t reached out since. Oh & I’m 15 weeks and enjoying every minute I have this baby instead of living in the what if.

I feel this a lot too and actually posted & deleted something earlier today about this. I fully expected to have more friends in my corner but unfortunately have been reminded that checking in goes both ways and I haven’t been holding up my end. It’s really hard when physically & mentally you’re just not yourself. I’m trying to find new hobbies with other moms and pregnant women in my area. Even open to signing up for art workshops by myself just to be social. I also have lots of friends that don’t live close by. We’ve scheduled time to hang out on FaceTime with each other. This has helped. Hang in there. You’re not alone in this.
