@lifewithnichole: Does anybody know? I had who I thought was a good good girlfriend until I had my first baby in 2021. It’s like everything took a 180 and I was completely blindsided. We were inseparable but it was something about she didn’t want to be a negative influence on my daughter. Yes, while she was honestly telling me she can not be in my immediate circle anymore because im a mom…it did suck. It’s true what they say…you don’t know how strong your friendships are until you get married or have a baby. People start to treat you so differently once you become a mom. I wonder why. Have y’all had that experience?? #fyp #postpartum #momtok #mom #momlife
As a person with no kids— I got tired of reaching out, getting cancelled on, and every conversation being about children.

I’m 32 expecting my first; most of the friends who would’ve been likely to fall off at this time, made it clear they wouldn’t be close friends in the long run years ago. Not everyone has the capacity to deal with everything, and it becomes more apparent the older you get. If you’re young, try to have grace for people who don’t understand and look forward to gaining pals who’ve had similar experiences.

im a young mom therefore my friends are young and poppin. our lifestyles are different and there's not much we have in common now. I miss my friends and really wish they couldve been there for me when i really needed them. motherhood is lonely. i just want someone to talk to and help me feel a girl again and not just a mom and wife

I don’t have kids but I know that the friends that have become mothers have new priorities, so in my experience I’ve learned how to shift my way in showing up for them. Some relocated so I try to send helpful items for them as well as lil things for the babies entertainment (books, toys, etc.) it really depends on the person and how much they value the friendship. It’s not intentional on my end but I still reach out as best I can & let them know I’m there for them if they need 💜

In life you either together or grow apart. When my friend had her baby I was willing to pivot from turnup brunch to a nice calm atmosphere. We switched from late night dinners to happy hours and lunches. Everyone isn’t willing to shift their lifestyle because you had a major life change. And I say that as someone who has a 2 year old.

Don’t forget relationships as well. Lol as for your question its compatibility and time. If they are your true friends they will stick by you and help with anything.

Currently 7 months pregnant with my first and experiencing this. It’s so lonely and isolating. I feel like it’s because I can’t drink and hang out like I used to. Between work, being a wife,doctors appointments and being pregnant, I’m tired 24/7 and don’t always want to hang out and they just don’t get that.

Didn’t end just not as often cuz I can’t answer if I just put baby to sleep, we talk to reckless so I can’t pick up when my man around, and sometime I just don’t wanna answer the phone or go out cuz I’m exhausted from being a mom. lol it’ll come back in to me tho.

In my experience, there was jealousy because they felt like I was free and they weren’t . And when I was pregnant , I lost friends due to lack of support for who I was becoming . Some ppl can only see you a certain way in order for them to stay, I call it conditional love

Because most people without kids don’t understand the postpartum period. They expect you be the same when that’s unrealistic. A true friendship can withstand periods where one person isn’t able to give 100% & postpartum is one of those stages. Mothers battle depression, anxiety & babies with friends expecting them to reach out first and be emotionally available.
