writes:Is it normal for pregnant women to drift apart from friends? My best friend is 6 months along now but she has been ignoring me since Dec. Never answers my texts/calls. Strange thing is one random day she blocks me on fb but keeps me on whatsapp and instagram. Ay work i catch her looking at me lot of times. Now we did had lots of fights but i have apologised for my mistakes. Now im confused. Is she angry at me and so is distant or its just a pregnancy thing? Will we talk again? At least as friends, if not best friend?

One more thing I can think of, can it be that she sees you as a threat? Are you better looking than her? Also pregnancy causes a lot of hormonal changes in a woman, can it be that such changes are playing on her nerves? My advice is just accept the new situation and be cool about it. There is nothing you can do.

I am not sure what has been going on between you both but obviously something has happened down the line to make her want to block you on Facebook. Facebook is different to Whatsapp as it shows all your day to day things - so it sounds like she's trying to keep her life private.
She may genuinely be busy - but you could maybe text her and ask her if you have done something wrong. However, having been in the opposite situation I can remember distancing myself from a girl I disliked for various reasons as she was too bossy and never very nice to me in public. I purposely didn't answer her calls or if I did told her I was busy just so she could keep away.
Good luck - hope you resolve it.

 Yes, pregnant women often get a bit distant from friends because they have a new priority. No, this situation is not because of her pregnancy; it’s because your friendship is poisoned by arguments. You’re not meant to be friends - let her go.

She may still like you but seems she is putting her baby first and quite rightly so
