A friend gifted me her sonogram as a birthday present. All of a sudden she reduced herself to her uterus, nothing else existed for her and she couldn't comprehend I didn't immediately fall in love with her fetus the same way she did.

Did she live in a sitcom?

I'm both surprised and not surprised by this. It probably happened because there are a lot of people who give presents they'd like but not something the person likes and because people tend to get really self involved when they are having their first kid.

I'm still slightly surprised they would do this though as it's typically not something you do to your friend but you might give a present like that to a family member.

She sounds better off without you.

DA

I don't see how you come to that conclusion. Unless you mean they sound better off without each other, to which I agree.

Not really.

It's not bad for expectant mothers to have a life outside their pregnancy. It's healthy, even.

Outside their pregnancy, yes, but if they're expecting (ha) all their social circle to totally rethink and recenter themselves around the pregnancy, not so much.

... uh huh? Not sure why you thought my comment disagrees with this. My reply was to the person saying the pregnant woman was better off without OP. I'm pointing out that no, it's the pregnant woman who's wrong in this case because it'd be healthier for her whole life not to revolve around her baby so much that she thinks a sonogram is a nifty birthday present.

I think they misread your comment.

Is that... a thing women do? Like, forget 'reducing herself to her uterus', giving someone a picture of your insides as a birthday present is incredibly weird and creepy.

what

Wow, that is self-centered. And I'm saying that as a woman planning to try for a kid soon. I would never do that to my friends, wtf.

I mean, I'd be so excited to share my sonogram with my friends. But for a birthday present? That is so tacky, holy shit.

Yeah, that's what I think anon is getting at, honestly. Not that her friend can't have kids, but how self-absorbed she's become about it.

WTF, as a birthday present?? That's something that only works for your spouse, or maybe the grandparents.

On the one hand, if a friend just wanted to give me a copy of the picture, I would be a bit touched, but as a birthday present? That really implies her pregnancy should be way more importamt to you than it normally is for a friend. Did she expect you to display it in a frame and when you had guests over you would proudly point to it and say "That is my friend's fetus!" or what? That is not a thing people do.
