2 year old son pretending to be pregnant

Ok, so my 2.5 year old son is telling us he has a baby in his belly. He will say, be careful, baby in there. He will talk about the baby in his belly too. I paid no attention, and would respond like I do any other time he is pretend playing. I go along, oh wow! There’s a baby in there, cool! Whatever. My son is very empathetic so I’m not surprised he’s mimicking my pregnancy at all. However, the other day my mom who babysits sometimes said he was saying it and she corrected him. Saying you don’t have a baby in there, mommy has a baby in her belly, but not you. And now I’m like… was i wrong to let him engage in pretending to have a baby in his belly? Or is she wrong for correcting him? Or does it not matter either way?? Would love some opinions especially if your older kids did this.
