Sorry she didn't share in your excitement, especially since she's your BFF too! Boo on her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reaction-to-bfp#post-217228 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 09:18:27 +0000 ladyfingers 217228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's so weird. Figure what out? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reaction-to-bfp#post-217208 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 09:08:56 +0000 mrsjyw 217208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HOW DID I MISS YOUR BFP ANNOUNCEMENT!! CONGRATS @arden!!!!! :)</p> <p>And I'd be a lil hurt by the reaction too... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reaction-to-bfp#post-217188 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 09:00:38 +0000 dookie32 217188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had some friends react kind of strangely when I told them. I think even when it's a planned pregnancy, it still comes as sort of a shock to people when it's actually happening for real. I don't think it ever meant that they weren't happy for me- I think they were just sort of thinking about the change and how it would affect our relationship. If your friend lives with you, I assume she doesn't have kids. I'm sure she's just being a little sad about how your friendship will be different now that there will be a baby in your life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reaction-to-bfp#post-217075 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 07:10:43 +0000 Adira 217075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Booo! I would be so bummed by that response! Maybe she was just flustered because she was on the phone and couldn't properly respond. How was she AFTER she got off the call? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reaction-to-bfp#post-217008 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 23:57:56 +0000 SAHM0811 217008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First off, Congrats!</p> <p>Secondly, try not to read into it too much... She probably just wasn't expecting to hear that news right at that moment (even though she knew it was planned). Like Mr Bee said, people just get weird about things like this sometimes... It takes them a while for it all to sink in and meanwhile, the initial reaction just comes across as awkward unfortunately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reaction-to-bfp#post-216973 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 22:01:05 +0000 kentuckygirl 216973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no! I would be upset too! Is she staying with you long term or just for a short visit? Do you think she might be worried whether she will be able to stay with you as long as she had hoped?</p> <p>How did you tell DH &amp; how did he react? </p> <p>We are very excited for you!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reaction-to-bfp#post-216805 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 18:40:53 +0000 chopsuey 216805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Weird. An excited congrats and a hug would have been appropriate! SKyping or not! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reaction-to-bfp#post-216779 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 18:12:32 +0000 Apex 216779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry if this sounds a bit selfish or a bit harsh, but please forget about her (for now) You just got your BFP!!!! the only opinions that matter are yours and your DH's opinion. Anyone else (especially non family) can take a back burner for now. </p> <p>I'm actually more curious about your DH's reaction.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reaction-to-bfp#post-216768 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 18:01:18 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 216768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd be a little disappointed too. I hope she shows more excitement when she is off Skype. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reaction-to-bfp#post-216760 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 17:49:41 +0000 Andrea 216760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no. Hopefully she was just distracted and said the wrong thing at that moment. Congrats on your BFP - I didn't know!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reaction-to-bfp#post-216758 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 17:48:13 +0000 mrbee 216758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yah she's on the phone... wait and see if she gets excited later!</p> <p>In any case, people are weird about this stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reaction-to-bfp#post-216755 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 17:42:41 +0000 SleepyMonkey 216755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh and BIG CONGRATS!!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reaction-to-bfp#post-216753 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 17:41:49 +0000 SleepyMonkey 216753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>this happened to me too and a couple of my friends. one question to consider is if she has kids yet? i am not making excuses for her, but sometimes your friends that are single will get sad because it means you'll have less time for them and they feel like you are moving on in your life without them. so it turns out in a reaction that is not what you expected and it can be a little shocking for you. but once they get used to the idea, they'll be so happy for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reaction-to-bfp#post-216750 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 17:39:43 +0000 photojane 216750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>that is very strange. sorry it went down like that! maybe she meant it differently than it sounded...? </p> <p>i know it's not the same, but we're all SUPER, SUPER happy for you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reaction-to-bfp#post-216748 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 17:39:26 +0000 Mrs. Lantern 216748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be a little taken back by that reaction too :(<br /> Hopefully her response is different once she's off the phone.<br /> But know that us HBers are so excited by your news! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reaction-to-bfp#post-216747 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 17:39:08 +0000 banana 216747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@arden: Oh! Dang, I'd be upset too. That's definitely not the kind of reaction I would hope to get from my best friend who just found out i was pregnant. Yeah, I'd be upset too. :( But.... YOU'RE PREGNANT!! YAY!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reaction-to-bfp#post-216745 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 17:38:28 +0000 MrsCastro 216745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>dont read in to it too much...wait until she is off to tell her again...dont let anybody get you down over this exciting news...YOUR PREGNANT!!!! wooohooo!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reaction-to-bfp#post-216740 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 17:36:11 +0000 Arden 216740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: No, I told her in person. She was on skype chatting with someone. I thought she was just surfing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reaction-to-bfp#post-216733 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 17:32:49 +0000 banana 216733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's a bit of a weird reaction, especially since she knew you were planning on getting pregnant. Hmmmm...Maybe wait until you get a chance to talk to her in real life and see how she reacts? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reaction-to-bfp#post-216731 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 17:32:38 +0000 Smurfette 216731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be bummed too!!! Sorry! We will be super excited for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reaction-to-bfp#post-216727 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 17:30:59 +0000 Arden 216727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a little upset right now because after I told DH, I told my best friend who is staying with us at the moment, and she says "Oh wow. I'm on skype right now. Good grief, we'll figure it out later." This baby was VERY planned, and she knows that. A little bit of happiness, maybe?</p> <p>Seriously? I'm a little hurt, especially since she's the only person I was planning to tell (I'm dying to tell my Mom but she'll tell my dad and he can NOT keep a secret) until the second trimester.<br /> She's still on skype, ten minutes later. Am I being unreasonable or is it ok to be mad? </p>
