A really common thing I've heard on my 'due in october' group is how lonely being pregnant is. I can personally vouch for that! It feels a lot like the second that second line pops up on that test, 90% of your friends have absolutely no interest in you or time for you.
The worst type of 'friend' is the one that pays you absolutely no attention whilst you're boring and pregnant but "can't wait" to meet your baby... two words to that one... PISS OFF!
At first I was really hurt by how shite some of my 'friends' have been but now I see it as the perfect way to cut down the wedding guest list and have a good clear out of friends. I no longer see the long and lonely weekend sat in entirely on my own (James works seven days a week) as a bad thing... I tend to potter around the house, organise Tilly's nursery and play with my beloved kitten Fishcake.
I'm really looking forward to sending out the wedding invites to my real friends and hope they know how much I appreciate them. Quite a few of my friends either live miles away or are stupidly busy but still take the time to check in us and keep me from singing 'all by myself' by Celine Dion in my pjs to my cats... It's going to be lovely to be surrounded by people that I genuinely love and that genuinely love us back at the wedding! No wasting money on twat bags that I should've bopped on the noggin months/years ago.
Plus, my life long best friend is growing (awkwardly) in my tummy... so that's always a plus :)
