[quote=Anonymous]I'm having a complicated pregnancy. I'm also now on watch for pre-e, so I'm trying to reduce stress and follow doctors orders. It's likely I'll need bed rest.  I check my blood pressure twice a day.

I have a few very high maintence people in my life. I grin and bear it, but their constant negativity gets me upset. Upset = stress which is bad for my blood pressure. I've tried to avoid and minimize. I told one friend who is very needy that I'm ill and can't get together. I avoid her calls or cut them short. But, she's not getting it and has launched an all out war  because she feels I'm not giving her enough attention. Literally every outlet to the outside world is filled with her whining over me being a bad person for not wanting to spend time with her - Facebook, email, phone, text etc. It's very stressful and not healthy for me and the baby.  I feel like I'm in a bad suspense movie where one friend goes psycho on the other.

Has anyone else had to deal with people who react poorly to your pregnancy.  How have you dealt with high stress people when they are literally the last thing you need.

Just want to see if this is isolated cause she is crazy or if other people have had to cut ties during pregnancy.

Thanks.[/quote]
