To believe what psychic told me

I was told a couple of years ago by a psychic that someone i knew wouldnt be as lucky as me with her pregnancy 2nd time round. psychic said sometime in march.I am pregnant as is my friend both for 2nd time. she is much further along than me. I had a bleed last week and had early scan and everything looks o.k but i am so worried that what he said will come true, i just want march to end! He said it wasnt me but i am not convinced as he wouldnt be ethical to say it was. AIBU to believe what he said? He got everything else right justabout.

YABU

It's bollocks.

Enjoy your pregnancy and don't worry about your friend either.

it's bullshit, cold readers tell you about other people because it fills in minutes and will almost certainly come true to someone. 'not as lucky as you' doesn't actually MEAN anything.

I dont usually believe what i am told as its usually too general but because the other things he said have come true and they wernt things i could make happen, i suposse its just made me worry. Probably sound like i am bit weird. Wish he would have said i would win lottery. I obviously wouldnt have believed that!

I was told that i would get married and have a baby within 12 months, it wouldnt be the wedding i wanted but would do it anyway as family member would give us accomadation to stay in,close friend would move abroad, friend would have 2nd daughter in july. I know that people move abroad and it could have been a guess about daughter but he gave exact months and destinations and i didnt give any clues as i didnt know about move abroad or that friend was pregnant. I had only just met my now husband and i did have a baby and got married within a year. Wasnt exactly fairytale wedding but it was nice enough and although i didnt know until a good few months after i spoke to psychic, inlaws own a flat that we rent off them. Coincidence i cant be sure.I interpret the unlucky second time around as a miscarriage. Must stop worrying i know. what will be will be!

hmm. good guess on the marriage thing, you must have seemed very keen for love. had you met your husband at this point?
the rest could easily be guessing.

FFS. DOn't give it another thought. Or, if you do think about it, have a read of this and Don't Get Fooled Again.
It;s all a total con and while it;s harmless when these bullshitters stick to harmless stuff like telling you your dead dog is burying bones in heaven, when they distress people with crap like this, they should be mocked, ignored or kicked up the jacksy.
