I love kids and want to become a mother, so why are my friends not inviting me?

I’m the only one in my friend group who doesn’t have children and I’m starting to feel left out. In the early days, when a couple of my friends had kids, we all got invited to their christenings and birthday parties. Now, I see the parties I don’t get invited to on Instagram. It’s so hurtful.
