I'm a member of a "due date group" on the dreaded Facebook. We are all due March/April. One of the (yet to give birth) members has just shared a post her husband made on his timeline announcing the "safe arrival" of their newborn with a picture taken Google. It's had likes and congratulations posted on it.
Am I alone in thinking this is not at all funny? Maybe it's my anxiety disorder speaking but I'd be terrified of somehow "tempting fate" (even though I'm not sure I believe in fate to begin with) and what if something traumatic/the unthinkable happens when she does actually come to have her baby.
I also think the safe arrival of a healthy baby is nothing to joke about when so many people's babies don't arrive safely or healthy.
Or am I just having a sense of humour failure and need to get a grip?
