I'm one of the first of my friends to have a baby so I have very few people to talk to who know what I'm talking about at the moment. A friend I haven't seen in a while is pregnant and we have been messaging a bit Basically she has really freaked me out as I have been ready and looking forward to shopping for baby bits and making plans properly and she has said she won't get anything until the week before....!due to superstition. She's a midwife too and it makes me feel totally panicked now that someone in that job would think the risk of your baby not coming home from the hospital with you was that big!!
