They've all been great, my best friend and my ohs best friend are ridiculously excited lol x

Well my close friends are pretty excited. They've been buying bits for LO since I first told them and fighting over whose going to babysit and get to hold him/her first

They're pretty protective too, trying to make sure I don't get bumped in the hall way at school and all that. A few friends that were friends with both FOB (ex-OH) and I have stuck by him and those are the ones I get the dirty looks and nasty comments from

All my friends are extremely happy, luckily not one of them turned on me! I really appreciate their support and they are half the reason why I stay sane every day!

i lost alot of my friends cuz alot of their parents acted like it was contagious, it was kinda nice to see who my real friends are. i made alot more mature friends, ones with kids, and were goin thru the same things i was... i hope u keep the friends worth keepin and make alot more!!!! <3

1 of my close friends is 13 weeks ahead of me in her pregnancy (she's in labour right now

hehe) So she was glad to have someone to talk to and share things with.
My best friend was excited but also kinda sad that she would have to find someone else to go out with at the weekends... She's now found out the other day that she's 3 weeks pregnant. (I'm not sure if she had planned it or not, shes sayin not but not sure...)
And my other friends that i hadnt spoken to for months and girls that i aint seen since 2/3 years ago at school are now speaking to me on a daily basis...

My friends were all really supportive, and haven't really changed much towards me. But now I notice that I'm more "popular" then before.

I think it's because they've got "drama envy." I live in a town where everyone is up everyone's ass, so they all want to be bff with "the pregnant girl."

It's quite strange for me, 2 of my close friends stuck by me, and the others didn't want to know, and people I've never really been close to have become supportive of me. The oddest thing for me is a girl who I never got on with before, as about 2 1/2 years ago we had some boy issues LOL. But she's just had a baby now and she's so supportive and we've become really good friends (:

well, i found out who my true friends are. but if im honest im not that upset that ive lost some of them because before i got pregnant i was around the wrong sort of people, when they found out i wouldnt get rid of my baby they didnt want to hang around with me as much because i would of lost popularity.

but my best friends and my close friends have been great. every one of them has stood up for me & helped with everything.
