Pregnant friend: you are not alone in your feelings

I am 25 weeks pregnant and I have found the people who truly care how I am doing throughout the last few months.

After reading my publisher’s column last week, specifically the part where she noted her best friend’s sound advice, I just can’t get it out of my head: “If they wanted to, they would — If someone truly cares about you, they will show you. They will make an effort and be there when it’s important.”

When we made the public announcement, after sharing with our family and close friends, on social media that we were pregnant, there were several sweet and beautiful messages that were left. However, unfortunately, only a few people have stuck around to check in on me, asking how I am doing/feeling or if I need anything.
