Name changed regular.
Just received a text. "Just to let you know I am 6 months (nearly 7!) pregnant x"
Back story. Best friend of 16 years, went to school and uni together. I settled down very quickly after, had my children, whilst she went on to a very successful career and relocated to Australia. We have always kept in close contact, several times a week via email/skype/facebook etc.
She had been TTC for 2 years, was worried her clock was ticking (we are both approaching 40) and whilst I offered an ear for her and reassurance, I didn't keep asking as I didn't want her to feel under any more pressure. What is really weirding me out is that she has been complaining about not being pregnant, whilst she has been pregnant!
Don't get me wrong, I did not expect her to announce it as soon as she had POAS, but 7 months?! I am not an early sharer myself, but told her early on in my pregnancies and asked her to keep quiet.
I know this might sound silly, but I am now feeling like I need to review the friendship. I feel sad that I didn't share her (presumably) early joy, the excitement of having her first scan etc. I obviously congratulated her (I am so happy for her) but not really sure how I should react now.
So AIBU?
