I have a very pregnant friend who hasn't really been communicating the last week or so and baby could come any time now. I would consider us good friends (but not best friends) and I think at times she's taken on more of a big sister role to give context for the dynamic. We've gotten closer during her pregnancy even though I don't have any kids. I've tried to be supportive throughout the entire thing and she told me a few weeks ago she really appreciated everything.
I last saw her in person about a month ago but typically talk via text every few days and everything was totally normal until a week ago. But for about a week now she has pretty much stopped texting and I've had to keep double texting to get any response at all. I'm just worried if everything is okay but I don't want to bother her and know she's probably just tired/overwhelmed. I most recently reached out with random chatter and asked how she was feeling. She responded to the random chatter but didn't acknowledge how she was feeling or anything baby related and then again stopped responding.
She lives across the country from me so I can't just drop off food or something but I plan to send her another gift once the baby is born.
My main thing is that I want to make sure I'm showing up without overstepping or annoying. I want her to know that she can talk to me (and I've already told her that) and I really want to know that everything is okay.
All that to say, for others in this position what would you want from a friend during this time? Should I wait until I hear something from her (hopefully an announcement text) or should I reach out again? I'm not sure if she just doesn't want to talk about being pregnant but would want to talk about other things, but it seems rude to not ask how she's doing.
