When I told all my cousins and friends I was pregnant about 7 weeks ago, they all wrote back saying congrats and offering help and support, and being all great about it. Then 2 days ago I had my 1st ultrasound done and shared it with the same family and friends again. About 14 of them replied back to the ultrasound. How about the other 20 people? Is it perhaps they didn't check their email yet, or are they too busy? I mean 20 people haven't replied. Let me ask you guys is it necessary to reply back, I would guess it's a nice thing to do, but is it necessary? Do they look at the baby's pic and just see it and say ok, don't feel the need to reply back? Is it something I should mind, or just don't worry about it, it's nothing?

is anyone like that also, where you may get a picture from your friend for a baby ultrasound and you don't reply back? Or you send them an email wishing their baby for their 3rd month bday and ask what is new with baby's developments and all, and you don't get areply to that? is that mean they are really busy or mad at you?

It's probably a mixture of a couple different things... I for one can identify with your need to share things like ultrasound pics but some people just don't care or even understand what the picture is of. Some people just might not have the time or feel there is no need to reply. Don't think these people are not your friends for this reason (or because you are overly emotional due to pregnancy... like I said believe me I totally understand). I'm sure when the baby is here you will see that they all care about you very much. Good luck and congrats!

I don't think it's a necessarily rude thing. They have already written you back congratulating you on the baby, and most people feel that that is enough in itself. Maybe your CLOSE friends and cousins will write back with "oohs" and "ahhs" but I'm guessing that the other 20 who are maybe less close feel as though you are sending them a newsletter rather than a write and reply email. It's as if you got a New Years newsletter from a co-worker mentioning in it somewhere that he or she is getting married. Though you might congratulate them in person or send your regards in a letter, it is not necessary to give them a gift or the like.

Honey, CONGRATULATIONS!! Your life is about to change!
this is a big moment for you and I'm sure every one you e-mailed knows it too, don't take these next few words the wrong way or anything, i hear that when us woman are pregnant we get very emotional; and that is how you are reacting to this. truth is, not every one cares AS MUCH as you do... People have their own lives and problems and people can be insensitive... relax...you will have your prego attention there is still 8 months ahead from you. focus on you and the baby and father (If that's your situation) and dont take stupid, pointless things such as e-mail responses at heart. There are MORE IMPORTANT things in life to worry about such as your new addition to your life, and please stop being so needy with EVERY ONE if you feel as if you need to have that beautiful pregnant woman conversations go to a family member's house, mom,sister, best friend, cousin, aunt whoever you are closest to. GOOD LUCK and have fun.

I wouldn't fret over it nor taking it personally. You are pregnant which can cause you to be a bit more sensitive than at other times. Plus, think about it, what does one say regarding an ultrasound picture? Wow, he's getting so big? Um, what a cute baby? Put it in perspective and move on. Putting stress on yourself worrying about this is not good for you or the baby to be. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!

I wouldn't get too upset about it just yet. Give them time. No doubt they're busy. Not everyone checks their emails on the regular like others do. I'm sure they'll reply when they get the chance, being that they have no reason to ignore it. Relax!

OMG you sound like someone I know. 45FAN is right, the world does NOT revolve around you. The sooner you realize that, the happier you will be because you won't get your feelings hurt so much.
Anyway, Congrats!! Take care of yourself and baby.

I wouldn't worry about it. Especially after only a couple of days. I'm guilty of not responding to all e-mails from family and friends but it doesn't mean that I don't care.

Honey, quit being annoying. The world does not revolve around you, pregnant or not.

Not everyone is all wrapped up in your pregnancy. They'll respond if they feel need to, but you need to understand that their lives are not all about you.
