Is anyone else suddenly losing all of their friends, and finding themselves very lonesome??

: I don't have anyone to hang out with while my husband is gone and at work. I used to have several friends, but as soon as the baby was born they all just disappeared. Even my best friend just vanished. I have seen her twice, for less than an hour each time in the last 4 weeks since my daughter was born. I know that some of this is normal, and that friends change when you go through such a big life change yourself, but it's really hard to deal with. I don't know, I guess I just needed to vent.

Panda is just 8 days old so i am not doing stuff yet, but I have a bunch of mama friends in Seattle. If you ever want to hang out with mamas and babies let me know.

I discovered that a lot of my friends were afraid they'd be bothering me if they came over too much right after my daughter was born. They had no idea I was feeling lonely. I also have some childless friends who drifted away because, let's face it, our lifestyles are just vastly different now. I'm just now starting to find mother's groups & other sahms I can hang with. It takes time. I totally understand how you're feeling.
