My bestie has two kids, first was born three years ago. Things will absolutely change but she is still a large part of my life, we just have to do a lot more virtual communication. I talk to her nearly every day, she will need you as a friend more than ever in a few months when she is feeling overwhelmed.

I guess it depends on whether you love this person or they are just good for socialising - nothing wrong with that, but it'll determine the level of effort you are willing to put into the friendship. I have some friends that I know if they had kids, I'd hardly see or speak to but my bestie is important to me. You might need to look at other ways of socialising if she can't to the barns - brunch, spa days etc.

My other bestie is now pregnant. I do not want kids, I don't think my biological clock is going to start ticking and I'm not waiting around for it. For this reason, another way I have to deal is actually start to go and meet other friends that I can hang out with more often so things don't get too lonely.
