Have you felt disappointed by any responses from friends when you've told them you are pregnant? I'm trying to be understanding, because I know everyone has their personal situations going on, but I do feel a bit let down/sad in relation to a few friends. One hasn't responded at all yet -- I emailed her the news last week, and today I texted as I thought she might not have got the email. My closest friend went bright red when I told her, and had a very restrained response - I think I need to talk sensitively sometime to her about what feelings she might be having. But I can't say I wasn't really disappointed. It has been very noticeable that the friends who haven't responded, or showed much enthusiasm, are friends who don't have kids themselves, and whose relationships are a bit complicated. I've had lots of lovely responses too, but I wondered if anyone else finds the less enthusiastic responses a bit difficult? I don't expect everyone to be enthusiastic about babies, but I guess I just want friends to feel how important this is for me.
