Yes, e-mail her. Hit the reply button now, even if you don't know what to say.
I have a surreal friendship with a girl I went to school with. We were sort of in the same group of friends but never close, then when I went to university a year before everyone else she was the one who bothered to write and we've written since. In many ways we have one another's lives - when we were teenagers she wanted a husband and kids and I looked like becoming a dusty academic - and we don't bother arranging to meet any more because we have so little to say to one another face to face, with nothing in common apart from having once been at the same school.
I have loadsa people I absolutely must get in touch with......then again I have the prefect exscuse for not keeping in touch - I'm a bloke and thats what we do!
I've lost loads of good friends just because neither of us could be arsed to keep in touch...shame really because most of the friends you make in later life are not the same
Or don't say what you feel. You wallowing in guilt isn't going to make her feel any better. Ask her how you can help to support her now. If she's having a grotty pregnancy, chances are she hardly has time to stand still between scans and inpatient stays and pacifying anxious grannies and aunties, so offer a flexible ear.
I have to agree that going that far back is a bit much (friends re-united), I went to school with my best mate and we have been best friends since the age of 12 despite the fact that we have lived at least 75 miles away since the age of 16 (god thats 15 yrs ago), but I wouldn't want to meet up with anyone else from school. Perhaps a few college mates and definately some uni friends but ce la vie....
Some light reading material if she's under orders to rest, which she probably is. Nice perfume - it's one of the things you can still wear when you're pregnant. A selection of massage creams and bath oils and suchlike. Scented candles to disguise the smell of baby sick. A Deltapillow and a bedjacket...OK, that's silly. Lots of chocolate. Shame ice-cream doesn't travel well.

ive been to friends reunited to look up my old schollfriends but if we were really mates we have stayed intouch
not that im saying that about you Pix but life gets in the way and we do neglect some things - i havent spoken to my non-hockey mates for months
something really geared to HER
Everything is geared to baby, and she needs pampering
Try origins, they do lovely mum and baby stuff, baths, and oils and well, things you wouldnt buy for self normally
tell her you love her
Perhaps a few college mates and definately some uni friends but ce la vie....
