[quote=Anonymous]I'm glad this is being discussed too. I had one friend stop talking to me when I told her I was pregnant. I didn't know she had infertility issues until years later when she contacted me after giving birth to twins. She has known me a long time and has known all the challenges I have faced in my life so it was heartbreaking she didn't share this with me and I couldn't figure out what I had done to make her stop talking to me for so long.

My husband lost a close friend. The friendship started to fade once i got pregnant. I knew they were trying for a while and I told my husband not to mention at our child at all conversation, which is hard to do when you are up all night with a newborn. Anyhoo after that, the friendship ended. I DK if it is because we had an easy time with pregnancy or not, but I suspect it. We have had many other struggles (e.g. child with health issues and special needs), but the friendship was over by the time we knew what was up with our first born so I think they just assumed we lived a charmed married life. Or maybe they disliked us for other reasons :(. I know my husband really valued the friendship, but we've made the effort quite a few times and there comes a time when you just have to leave the ball in their court.[/quote]
