Welcome to the first trimester! Where everything is magical and life-changing, but you also kind of feel like you're starring in a sci-fi movie no one asked to see. Navigating friendships during this whirlwind? Now that's its own mystical quest, akin to finding the holy grail or the last slice of pizza at a party. Spoiler alert: it's not easy, but oh-so-rewarding!

Let's dive into why pregnant you is the ultimate friendship litmus test. Much like those BB creams promising an all-in-one miracle, friendships now require a little extra SPF. That is: Serenity, Patience, and Fun. Because who knew pregnancy and peace didn't always go hand in hand?

Pregnancy changes you, darling. Not just the I-need-a-whole-new-wardrobe kind of change, but the why-can’t-I-stop-crying-during-insurance-commercials transformation. Your energy levels might resemble a wilting balloon, and yet, your friendships shouldn't deflate alongside you.

Staying in touch w

Here’s your secret weapon: honesty, wrapped in humor. Tell your friends what's up before they start staging a friendship intervention. Need another nap? Not a problem. "I’d love to come out, but my bed has serious abandonment issues" is a great response. It's the gentle nudge needed to remind your pals that they are wanted—even if the outside world feels like a Pixar movie adventure you'd rather watch from your couch.

And here's a pro tip: ask your friends for help sharing this journey. They’ll love being a part of it, and honestly, you’ll cherish having someone else there to scream at the sight of the first ultrasound.

Let’s face it: sometimes ‘pregnancy brain’ is real. Forgetfulness might become your new best friend, but with a sprinkle of humour, you can handle anything. So before you accidentally put your keys in the fridge (again), jot things down, set reminders, and recruit some friend-power for memory support. Plus, nothing says love like random messages to remind you it’s garbage day.

In turn, prepare for your friends’ life transitions because, spoiler alert: life doesn't stop for anyone. Whether they’re moving, hooking up, breaking up, or changing careers, be there for the rollercoaster even if it means sending voice notes while sporting maternity leggings that make your feel like a superhero!
