Clingy mum friend? AIBU?

[Janie94]

I did anti natal classes with a group of lovely ladies. Our DC are now all 3 and we still meet up here and there for catch ups.

When the children were babies I bonded more with one of the mums as we both have DDs and we shared similar experiences. Over time though I feel we actually don't have all that much in common and now the kids are a bit bigger it feels like things have naturally drifted a little bit... only problem is I think it's only me who feels this way.
Friend texts me every 2/3 days just asking how I am, which is obviously nice and friendly but it feels a bit often for my liking.
And I've found if I spend time with any of the other mums in our group she asks me about it straight after.

I feel she has become more distant from the other mums and in turn more clingy with me. I think she gets jealous of me doing stuff without her.

I feel bad that I don't want the regular contact and close friendship as much as she does, but I can't force myself to IYKWIM?! How can I sort this out without upsetting her?

Its perfectly normal to drift away from antenatal friends. You cling together in the early days, but them life happens and you see eachother only occasionally.
Next time you see her just say you're really busy with work, you're trying to get back to the gym (or whatever your interests are) and you won't be available so much.
Some people are just mad for thr texting, others not so much. Tell her you're winding your phone use back a bit as you're wasting too much time.
