No, not since that weekend in vegas. She has a glass of wine or a beer every now and then, but that's it. It just pisses me off that she was so irresponsible in the first place, did all that, then decided to keep it. Which is fine, that's her choice, just don't call me up telling me I'm a bad friend b/c I don't wanna hang out as much. If she had told me at the time she was thinking she might keep it, I would have dropped her as a friend right then for doing all that shit to her unborn child. I just can't respect that.

Well that puts a whole different spin on things. You don't want to distance yourself because she's pregnant, you disagree with her treatment of her unborn child.

You have your views on how a pregant woman should act (and you're right, she was irresponsible) and she didn't share those views.

I get it now. And now it's your choice to make whether or not you want to hang around and witness any further activity of the like.

Don't make your decision out of guilt. Make it based on common ground that you two share. If there isn't enough, then there really isn't any friendship left anyway, other than nostalgic things.

Well it's good that she's taking better care of herself now. She was probably in denial at first, partied, then had a change of heart. While she was irresponsible in the first place, at least she is making the effort to take responsibility now.

I just hope she doesn't go back into full force party mode after this child is born.
I don't think she realizes what a huge responsibility kids are, but hopefully she will and fast!

I hope her kid isn't fucked up from all those teratogens. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is the most common preventable form of mental retardation.
