Lost friends since having a second child

It hasn’t happened as a result of a big argument or anything like that but I was part of an antenatal group with my first baby. We remained close and met up regularly with and without children.

I went on to have another and no one else has. As a result I am being pushed out. They are able to go places that aren’t baby friendly and a couple of times when we’ve been out I’ve been left behind as I can’t keep up.

Feeling a bit sad about it and also a bit lonely. Has anyone else experienced this?

But if all the children are at a certain age where they would enjoy an activity then why on earth do they need to change that for your baby? Ok maybe the park was thoughtless, but I can't see the rest as them pushing you out? Can you provide other examples.

They don’t but babies can come along to a lot of things. Of course if they are going ice skating or something she can’t come, but a park?

Op I would just suggest something for next Friday and say you feel like you haven't seen people in ages, miss hanging out and who fancies X - aimed as first borns but that you can take baby to, or is she old enough to hang out with a grandparent for a few hours? Weekend date and leave her with DH?
