To distance myself from this friend

She makes it obvious that she doesnt like me spending time with my closest friend. When i do she makes snide remarks. If we all go out for a meal together she will give me a funny look if me and my other friend are talking etc. She doesnt do this with any of the other girls. Its only with this one friend.

The last time we went out she tried to sort of exclude me. I cant explain it but it was almost as though she was trying to replace me in some weird way.

She calls me her closest friend but in many ways i feel like she hates me. Im pregnant after years of trying and she could barely bring herself to congratulate me. I am now 9 months and she literally muttered congratulations once and that was it. She has been single for 4 years and wants kids. When that happens i will be happy for her but her behaviour makes me want to keep her at a distance. Would this be terrible? Has this ever happened to you?

Sounds like childish, bitchy behaviour. How old are you both? I would distance myself. You're about to have a baby you've waited a long time for, if someone isn't positively contributing to your life you don't need them around. I wouldn't go out of my way to be nasty but I definitely wouldn't make any effort and when she makes bitchy comments I'd pull her up on it there and then.
