Apparently she watched OBEM last week and laughed at how pathetic the women were because "there's no need for,all the screaming and crying drama FFS" and she won't need a section because she doesn't like needles.
Her baby will stay at home with DH 5 days after birth so she can return to college as there's no need to delay, surely they can cope without a feed for 3 hours even though she wants to BF.
The baby will go in its own room from birth and it won't be a hassle getting up "what twice a night?".
The scan dates are DEFINATELY wrong because they are showing the baby as normal sized when her DH was hugely long at birth so "we've only bought 3-6 months clothing to prove them wrong"
My personal favourite "we've didn't see the need to buy a pram with seat bit so just got a carrycot one second hand as by the time she outgrows it around a year she can just walk with us"
AIBU?
to just smile and nod at friends naive views on impending motherhood...

Hahaha she's having a laugh.
Bet she has a sneeze birth too 
and is forevermore vocal about the ranting women (I was one of then so thank fuck for pain relief!!)
Ha ha- I remember telling my Obs at 36 wks that I definitely wouldn't be needing an epidural because I have a high pain threshold due to doing a lot of trail running and weight lifting. To her credit, she did not do much as smirk when calling the anaesthetist to get him out of bed at 2am because ' I'm dying, I'm dying' 
I had had two 'easy' births and during both, made a noise like a crazed cow. 'Dirty, you are going to have a sore throat from making such a racket' said one of the midwives
I said I would never use a dummy, both boys had them within a week. Said I would never co sleep, had a 2 and a 1 year old in my bed last night.
Both my 7.7lb and 7.15lbers had to wear early baby stuff for at least a month.
Motherhood makes us contradict some very strong views we might have previously held. You might even catch me giving my two the 'Geordie dummy' - a Greggs sausage roll.
Ha! The only stupidly naive thing I ever said was that I didn't want to be one of those women screaming and making a hell of a racket during labour. I have a high pain threshold (I've got arthritis) and thought I could hack whatever labour had to throw at me.
Oh boy was I wrong! I screamed like I was being murdered . The pain was horrific and I kept getting told they couldn't give me anything as the dr was busy in theatre. Bastard must have got lost since in the whole 10 hours it took to deliver DS2 he never showed his face. DH says I actually roared at one point

I've got visions of this huge 1 year old dc sat up in a pram being wheeled along
Blimey I thought I was the most clueless expectant mum. It seems maybe not.
Well ds1 was a doddle as a baby and would have suited your friend down to the ground - trouble is you can't order what type of baby you get! Regularly went 3 hours for feeds, slept well, woke once a night only and slept from 10 - 6 at night from 6 weeks. It went downhill once he could move independently!!!
As I sit looking at ds (who is 3 weeks old) it's a whole different ball game. Up every 2 hours, colicky, harder to settle, needs lots more cuddles and bit of a velcro baby - hell I'm contemplating a sling - generally very very different.
I had some fantastical ideas before ds1 which I laugh about now. Sometimes until you've lived it you have no idea
