Imagine being a single mom-to-be, navigating the emotional rollercoaster of pregnancy and the anticipation of welcoming your first child into the world. Now, imagine one of your closest friends referring to your unborn child as ‘ours’ and even ‘hers’. This is the chilling reality for our brave mom-to-be, who’s now considering banning her friend from having any relationship with her baby. Let’s delve into this emotionally charged tale of friendship, boundaries, and the struggle for motherhood. ‍ ‍

From daily messages referring to the baby as ‘ours’ and even ‘hers’, to a Facebook post misleading people into thinking she was expecting, the friend’s actions left our mom-to-be feeling robbed. After a tearful confrontation filled with accusations and low blows, the friendship has been put on pause. As the birth of her baby draws near, our mom-to-be stands firm on her boundaries, ready to protect her child at all costs. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…

“NTA. This is creepy at the point your friend is taking things. ‘Our baby’ a few times is cute but between that and the posts you mention, this could get unhealthy, fast. Talk to her and if she won’t stop, make changes. Stop sharing details, don’t tell her where you will deliver etc. Your mom deserves to be in the room with you before P does. You are not obligated to involve her in this. At the end of day, you need to set firm boundaries for you and your baby’s sake.”
