After my second child, I didn't want to see anyone. I had a difficult prengancy and they had to induce me at 32 weeks. It was just so hard to deal with everyone and take care of my family. I had a really good friend that I just suddenly stopped talking to. I don't know why I cut her out of my life. It is really hard to describe, but basically I only had enough energy to take care of my family. Anything else was too much for me. I had a long recovery from some medical problems I developed due to the pregnancy and I just withdrew from everyone. I know I also had postpartum depression and tried to get help for that. I feel bad knowing I let go of a really great friend. Also, I had people just dropping in to see the baby. The baby was in the hospital for 4 weeks before we could bring her home. It totally drove me nuts that people I hardly knew would drop in to see her. Some people would bring over presents but then they expected me to entertain them and expect to hold the baby. I just hid from the world. If your friend is depressed, I hope she does get help. Just don't take it too personally that she doesn't want to see you now. You sound like a really good friend and hopefully this won't last very long.
