To feel a bit sad when things aren't actually that bad?!

[Natnat29]

Hi all, basically in a lot of ways I'm a very lucky person I'm expected a much longed for baby and have a lovely OH who I adore and can still give me butterflies when I see him even after a long time of being together....but in terms of friendships I feel like I've got the short straw. At school I always had lots of friends but since then 1 by 1 I have grown apart or falling out with people and now I'm in a situation where I don't have a circle of girlfriends where we are all friends. The few friends I do have I feel like we are going in different directions. AIBU to feel sad that I'm always going to feel like I'm missing out not having a close knit group of friends that Ive got a strong bond with when I'm lucky in other aspects of my life? Any advice would be helpful cheers

This is part of growing. You'll get new friends with similar interests. I've found that friends and groups wax and wane. If you're expecting I think you'll get a whole new passel of friends soon, when baby comes.

You'll have chance to make new friends.Congratulations:)

That's what my OH has been saying too :) hope that's right hard to meet people at work and I've lost touch with old friends.

Join something like nct classes yoga etc to make friends who will have babies the sane age.

It's hard to be as close with friends when you are older and babies come along.

Some of my friends have made friends through nct and lots when your baby gets to school.
