My mum works as a home carer. One of the ladies she goes to visit claims to have psychic abilities. I am currently 32+5 and the lady has told my mum I'm going to have the baby tomorrow. She went into great detail about how the birth is going to be.

I have told some people I know in person and some believe it and some don't.

I'm curious to know what others think and whether I'm deluded by thinking it may happen! Wink

Have you packed your bag?

WorraLiberty · 22/11/2014 11:18

You're deluded

The lady is deluded

The baby could arrive at any time.

Congratulations on your pregnancy Thanks

originalusernamefail · 22/11/2014 11:18

At 32+5 I'd be hoping to be deluded. Much too early, more cooking required.

Vitalstatistix · 22/11/2014 11:20

nearly 2 months early? I am sure you hope she's deluded.

littleleftie · 22/11/2014 11:21

What a horrible thing to say to/about someone who is only 32 weeks pregnant!! Does she know that is all you are?

Ignore her - good luck with the baby when it does arrive Thanks

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 22/11/2014 11:22

She's talking nonsense, don't get stressed thinking about this.

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 22/11/2014 11:23

I hope you go to term. I think she sounds like a deluded bitch.

emmalouise1091 · 22/11/2014 11:25

Obviously I'm worried about being only 32 weeks. She said baby would be fine though. Yes I have packed my bag Shock I would much rather have the baby at full term and I do hope tomorrow comes and goes. I wonder why she would say this and include as much detail as she did.

It is not going to happen.

Arlagirl · 22/11/2014 11:27

Why do you care about the ramblings of someone you don't know???

saintsandpoets · 22/11/2014 11:27

I wonder why she would say this and include as much detail as she did.

Because psychics are con artists, who prey on emotions.

calmexterior · 22/11/2014 11:27

Sigh....

WorraLiberty · 22/11/2014 11:28

I wonder why she would say this and include as much detail as she did.

Lonely?

Deluded?

Attention seeking?

MH issues?

The list is endless. Just ignore.

YeGodsAndLittleFishes · 22/11/2014 11:29

Well you and your Mum will know by Monday whether that she is a complete charlatan, then.

Do you have any medical history which could indicate a premature birth?

SaucyJack · 22/11/2014 11:37

If you update on Monday to say you've had the baby, then I might be interested.

Until then.....

Just ignore her.

foslady · 22/11/2014 11:52

If it will help OP, I will say the following

I have higher psychic powers than the other lady. Your child will be born when it's ready to be born and strongly suspect you'll be further along than now. And yes, the psychic powers are also saying all will be ok when it does happen.....

KeeperOfBees · 22/11/2014 11:58

Does the lady have dementia?

APlaceInTheWinter · 22/11/2014 11:58

I hope she's not too upset if she's wrong! It's quite a detailed forecast, psychics are usually more circumspect.

I'd be both surprised and impressed if your DC comes tomorrow Smile

OraProNobis · 22/11/2014 12:02

I am more clairvoyanty than any of you and I predict that when you give birth it will be a baby that is born.
It will arrive at the exact moment it is predestined to arrive.
I predict that the first thing your baby will do is cry.

How am I doing so far?

Refunds this way >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Grin

FriskyMare · 22/11/2014 12:04

I am a bitShock that your mum told you what she said when you are only 32/33 weeks.

mommy2ash · 22/11/2014 12:04

I don't know who is worse in this situation the lady for telling your mum or your mum for telling you. you are two months early not the time for all this rubbish

grunty · 22/11/2014 12:05

It is not going to happen. If the lady was truly psychic she would probably have told your mum to keep an eye on you or something vague like that.

Once I was in hospital and a rather eccentric old lady, predicted that a woman on the ward was pregnant and was going to have a girl. In fact it was a lady in her 50s with a very swollen tummy from liver disease caused by alcoholism.

NewEraNewMindset · 22/11/2014 12:10

A bloody psychic told my Mother a while load of bullshit and derailed what was going to be a perfectly lovely home birth.

Ignore, you will go to term.

ameliadoop · 22/11/2014 12:45

What a load of rubbish. Ignore.
