Do women really go through complete emotion change during pregnancy?

Hi Everyone 30M here. I recently had my first ever female friend and I loved my time around her. We actually went a little farther than that and got intimate 3-4 times and used to talk but never had s*x. She got pregnant just few motnhs after we met, but we were still the same. If anything it grew only and this was the time we went from good friends to more. Few months passed by and things felt good, and then we went to our hometowns for a month and things changed completely after that. Its been few months to that as well. She is at last stage of pregnancy right now. Now it feels like we are hardly friends also. I was ok at start as it seemed to me she is investing that energy on herself given the situation but I see the priority attention i used to get is still there but for someone else now whom we both know. Not saying they have anything going om or anything but the priority i used to get, being the first one to know anything and everything, talking constantly, smiling when coming has switched from me to him. I resisted a lot to not confront her since I don't want to add to her stress, but after 2 months of crying almost everyday I asked her if we are ok and all, and she said we are and tols she is feeling too and right now mentally and physically drained. And that is what is troubling me, its not like she is investing energy in herself but just cutting my bond with someone else. I have deep love, respect and care for her. Also I don't expect anything from her which could cause her any problems. Being the only person who ever close that much to me, I don't know how to handle things. And now she will go on maternity leave and I have no idea how things will be. FYI, I haven't ever had any deep connections with anyone including family and friend. So she does mean a lot to me even without anything romantic or intimate. Do women really go through complete emotion change during pregnancy? Can I expect things to improve or it might get worst?
