Pregnancy hormones ruin friendships?

Hello all,

I'm 18 weeks pregnant now and expecting a baby boy.

Two weeks ago I met up with a good friend of mine.
I had a bad day (feeling cranky, easily irritated, was tired, had such a busy day and wasn't feeling it) and I told her I was having a bad day and a horrible mood.

That night she announced her pregnancy to me and I was so happy for her!
I jumped up and hugged her, got tears in my eyes and we talked about our pregnancies the entire night.

The night when she was at my place she never said anything about how my reaction wasn't good or I wasn't "excited enough", everything seemed fine.

The day after that I messaged her that I told my boyfriend (it was no problem for her if I told him about it) and told her I was crying when telling him because I was so happy for them. I also told her that I hoped that my bad mood didn't seem like I wasn't happy for them because I was.
Her response made me feel guilty and now we don't really talk or text much anymore.

I do feel bad about it still, I don't feel like briging it up again with her because 1: I already did, and 2: she couldn't tell me the night itself how she felt and 3: I'm afraid she'll only make me feel more guilty.

I hope you have some "words of encouragement" for me :)

What response?

Honestly, life is too short. Message her. X

I dont know if you are talking about your pregnancy hormones or hers ruining friendship but from the sound of it, it just seems like a misunderstanding.
You are genuinely happy for you friend and showed her. You had a bay day like any other human being, it happens. And so what is the issue?
You need to both get over it and just talk normally.
Nothing happened.
Just a massive overthinking on both sides from the sound of it!
And if she doesn't respond to your attempts at connecting then let her be... you don't need the stress.

What was her response? I feel like a chunk of the story is missing.

Her response on my message was that she did get the feeling that I had to put in effort to seem excited, to which I replied that I was having a bad day and the whole explanation again, and she said "I just really was looking forward to tell you"...
After that I just didn't reply because how many times can I repeat and explain myself?
I casually messaged her a few days after that again and I just felt she was still upset.

I'm sure when she gets to the stage of having her own hormones all over the place, she'll realise and come crawling back. I'd just message her anyway about normal stuff as if nothing had happened, you've done your bit so no point continuing to let it fester or carrying on mentioning it. If she's really still that offended then tbh she needs to grow up!
