A couple of months ago my friend who'd recently had a baby posted on Facebook that she was struggling badly with PP anxiety and intrusive thoughts. I've known her since childhood.
I've been there myself not too long ago so I reached out to her over inbox and we spent an hour or two talking about how she was feeling, I advised her as best I could based on what helped me and assured her that it gets better and if she ever needed somebody to talk to then I'm always here.
I had recently found out I was pregnant a week before this conversation and was leaning toward termination because my MH still isn't great after having my youngest, so when she asked me if I'd ever do it all again (have another baby) I was honest with her and said I'm pregnant at the moment and considering a termination for the above reasons, plus others. I was devastated but felt it was my only option at the time.
She asked how far along I was and I told her I was almost 6 weeks.
Well with that she stopped replying completely and I haven't heard from her since despite her posting daily on Facebook. She seems to be doing a bit better and is going out with friends, sounding alot more positive.
I sent her a message a couple of weeks later asking how she was doing which she read and didn't reply to.
As it happens I have decided to proceed with the pregnancy with the support of my partner and family and I'm feeling alot more optimistic.
I just can't help but feel that me being open with her about considering a termination has made her look at me differently and judge me. She was the only person I told and the only person who knew about the pregnancy, apart from my immediate family.
Do you think I'm reading too much into it?
