Fair weather friends

When you get pregnant, you notice that some people distance themselves. This could be because they're in a different point in their lives or they feel like with a baby you won't be the person they need you to be in the friendship. Once the baby is born, however, some of those people may rethink their previous stance (don't hold your breath). Don't forget though, this is still a time where you're going to lose more friends. These people didn't leave when you were pregnant because in their minds it wasn't set in stone; the arrival makes it real and then they exit. Try not to let it get to you; you've got a little one you're caring for. That being said, the friends who stick by you through both transitions are the keepers-- even more so the people who step up and get involved.
