Hi Adelynn,
Nice to hear from you.. perhaps you are right.. maybe it is also boils down to my own personality.. i wont say that i am an introvert but i dun warm up to people very soon.. moreover perhaps i dun really have the sense of humour to tickle people funny bone.. an also maybe because i have to work for long hours and after work i have to take care of my mum before my baby arrival. so most of my time were dedicated to my work and also to my family.. as a result i did not really put in the effort in sustaining the friendship..
this is alos one of the reason why i want to get to know more mummies and we can go out and plan activities together or go holiday together... my pregnancy i wont say i m a happy mum due to some unhappy issues but glad that it is over and now i am tasting the sweetness of my hard work which is my baby raeanne.
guess that enough of myself.. would sincerly like to know u as a friend and when is yr baby due? Boy or girl?

i think i'm quite lucky (to a certain extent) i have friends who both 'disappeared' during and after my pregnancy and friends who 'stuck' by and made a special effort to 'keep me included' during my pregnancy.
My office gang have regular drinking and dinner sessions to un-wind after a stressful period or event and during my pregnancy i was dragged along despite me automatically excluding myself due to the big tummy. They even had 'non-alcoholic night' so that i won't be left out. (and if you are wondering, some of them are non-locals; which may explain the difference?)
but of course i need to play my part in putting in effort to participate and politely excuse myself if i feel i'm not up to it.
I guess its the personality of the friends around you and how they view you/the pregnancy.
