NTA, but talk to her about boundaries. Inappropriate behavior

“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.”
