to be irritated by this?

Friend just had her baby at 38 weeks.

Posting all over social media that her 'poor baby' was born premature. She's cluster feeding because she's premature. She's crying more because she's premature. Etc etc. Posting everything that's wrong with her baby online such as a few spots on her face that look sore, a dry scalp, bruise from the heel prick. All the muppets underneath commenting 'oh you poor think I hope she recovers soon' are just as annoying.

I want to comment 'she wasn't f**king premature!!!'

My daughter was born 16 weeks premature and survived a week. It was devastating and I'm still not healed 6 years on.

As you can tell I'm becoming wound up by said friend. I've muted her posts, I hardly use SM, but still get the running commentary through others.

AIB ridiculous to be irritated by this?

38 weeks is considered full term if I'm not mistaken?? What an inconsiderate attention seeker.

Sorry for your loss OP Thanks

I'm so sorry, OP. My boy was born ten weeks premature and if I heard a friend say her baby born at 38 weeks was premature I wouldn't have it-I'd have to say something.
