Bit of a strange one! My friend and I are pregnant at the same time. I am 8 weeks or so ahead of her. This is my first pregnancy and her second after a miscarriage. When I announced I was pregnant she was the first to ring me and congratulate me and confided in me that she was also in the very early stages which I was happy for her about. She said how lovely it was that we were pregnant together and we could compare notes and check in on how the other was getting on. Well since then, I text her to see how her 12 week scan went (all fine) and I haven’t heard anything at all since? It’s quite odd because we haven’t fallen out. I know I could approach her and ask how she was getting on but the silence from her side is holding me back a little. Especially because I am further along I would have thought she would be interested in how I was? Confused…

Perhaps she's knackered and sick and busy with her existing child. Hopefully nothing more than that.
Congratulations OP Flowers

Maybe she thought shed messaged you back but forgot to press send?

Maybe the scan was all OK and she's still processing things?

Maybe she's suffering badly and struggling and keeping a low profile?

Perhaps she's finding you too giddy/over bearing?

Scan NOT all OK....

I'm guessing the scan perhaps wasn't what she was hoping for either.

Maybe she doesnt want to talk about it all... nothing personal.. I'm further along and i have completely kept quiet about being pregnant etc. And she had miscarriage and probably even more is scared getting happy about it all..in case it all goes wrong... if u get what i mean...
And feeling horrible and all adds to it all.. i feel just miserable ...i dont wanna talk to anyone too...
Just ask her from time to time if shes ok x

Yes I think she probably doesn't want to talk about it after all. Something bad may have happened or maybe she just wants the experience by herself.

If you are friends why do you talk via texts? Isn't it easier to pick up the phone?

I had a MC last year before getting pregnant with my baby boy. I suffered with bad anxiety (diagnosed) before any pregnancies but after losing one I struggled a lot during my pregnancy with my wee boy, always worrying and thinking something would go wrong. I just wasn't in a great place to talk to anyone, I didn't really message any of my friends and went weeks without replying to messages. Luckily my friends understood.

I would imagine it's probably nothing personal, she's probably just having a rough pregnancy and doesn't feel like chatting.

Or it could be that she never got the news she was hoping for at her 12 week scan but didn't want to upset you with you also being pregnant

Have you messaged her since you spoke after her 12 week scan or are you waiting for her to contact you? It could be she's doing the same
