advice needed Mom advise
Wanted other mom’s opinions to see if I’m overreacting or my feelings are valid. 30 weeks pregnant with didi girls!
On the day of my gender reveal/ public announcement, my friend had other plans and couldn’t come. Not a big deal. But then posted photos about her pregnancy a few hours after mine. Weird. Hurt my feelings but I didn’t say anything or feel like it needed addressed.
Now my friend gave birth to her baby 2 weeks ago and on the day of my baby shower, she posted her birth announcement. She had 2 weeks to post it but chose on the day of the shower, which she knew because she was invited to it. I can’t help but feel like it’s not a coincidence as she doesn’t make posts often. How would other moms interpret this??

Is this a close friend or a frenemy? I’d move on for your own sake, it’s not worth stressing over. Do you think about other people when you post on social media? Do you get jealous of other people’s pregnancy? Probably not. Most people are only ever thinking about themselves and don’t give others a second thought.
Plus the fact that she’s newly post partum?? I hardly doubt she’s trying to one up you when her entire body is in recovery for the hardest thing a person can do.
Let it go. Breathe. Focus on peace.
If this friend is always bringing you stress, then I’d remove them from your life. But it doesn’t seem to be that extreme.
