We cannot overstate the value of having close friends around during pregnancy — especially when there’s no partner in the picture. But one mom-to-be is wondering if her supportive friend is getting just a little too attached to her baby, and it’s creeping her out. To hear the mom tell it, the friend may be planning to take the baby home herself! Going by the user name boyajoie, the 39-weeks pregnant mama took her dilemma to Reddit, writing, “I’m a single mom, and throughout my pregnancy and getting away from my ex, I’ve had two constant people in my corner, C (22F) and P (26F)....
