“Every other month or so” <6 phone calls a year isn’t your best friend….

overly sensitive. I didnt tell anyone unless they saw me face to face. it was a high risk pregnancy and I thought I might not have a successful or full term pregnancy. I needed everyone to be in their place so I could process on my own and just focus on what was in front of me. Sometimes, Its not about you.

I think the friend is hurting because if her bestie can announce this news in social media she could've tell her that personally before or same time.

We experienced 3 miscarriages.... I didnt tell anyone besides my husband i was pregnant until after we had ultrasounds done and we were out of the first trimester. People need to realize its NOT about them...

I personally think that’s really really weird to not tell your best friend. I told my best friend both times I was pregnant… She would be so upset if she found out through social media.

Exactly… people need to stop complaining… let people make their own choices and stop judging.

I just recently announced my pregnancy and there were about 6 calls I wish I had made before posting about it but I wasn’t myself the first trimester (nausea and exhaustion and starting a new job) it wasn’t anything personal at that point I was just a mess. I wish I’d gotten to have those individual memories with those friends (all out of town) but it just didn’t happen and that’s ok and luckily they all seemed to understand and none held it against me so I say she kinda needs to let it go 🤷🏻‍♀

Not the same but it’s been very difficult to hold friendships I once held very close to my heart when there isn’t reciprocity. I can see how she can be hurt too. But I also think it’s ok to express and it’s a valid feeling on both sides, not her news to know but would’ve been nice to know

Same here. Not telling a soul after our stillbirth at 7 months w our little girl. 5 months now and nope, not announcing at all.

I just wanted to announce to everyone but family at the same time. It’s my baby. It had nothing to do with my relationships. I had best friends who reached out after they announced apologizing that they didn’t reach out first they just wanted a big reveal and it’s like”… dude you announcing your baby has nothing to do with me! Do your thing and do it how you want.” There is so much going on with you and your family and your dynamic I’m the last person who should be adding any stress to you. I’m your friend! I’m so excited you’re having a baby! Best decision ever!

I didn’t even tell my mother until I was 16 weeks pregnant lol loss completely changes you. If she experienced loss, or honestly even if she didn’t, people have their reasons for keeping things private!!

But she announced it on social media. So she wasn’t hiding it. Right?

I do not feel entitled to anyone’s announcement. Let them share the news how they want.

I talk to my long distance bestie everyday, sometimes twice a day. 😅 it’s to the point that everyone in my life knows that’s my bestie phone-call time.

I think it’s nice to let people announce their news when and how they’re ready. It’s about them and their baby, not about the friend tbh

I think it’s a silly reason to have hurt feelings. Maybe pregnant friend is really struggling, maybe she forgot since you talk ~6times/year, maybe she only told family & announced to everyone else via SM.

I got pregnant on a time I was dead set on never being a mom and it put me at an absolute horrid state of mind. My husband was (is, I’m 5 months along) SUPER excited but I didn’t want to tell anyone because I didn’t want to talk about it, but he wanted to tell his loved ones and I didn’t want mine to feel blindsided, so I made a cute pic and posted it on Instagram, so I didn’t have to have all those conversations. It’s not always personal, being pregnant is hard enough, with all the hormones and whatnot
