When friendship dynamics shift around postpartum body changes

My best friend has started making comments about how I 'let myself go' since having kids while she's maintained her pre-baby body, and I don't know if I'm being oversensitive or if she's actually being cruel. We used to talk about everything openly, but now every conversation about parenting or our lives feels loaded with judgment about how I look.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Different experiences of motherhood and body changes are creating an unspoken hierarchy that's poisoning a previously supportive relationship.
