Watched a bit of her first trimester video on YouTube and it just sits weird with me. She sounds quite happy, if smug, and sure - tell all this to your friends. But it isn't just insensitive to anyone experiencing any health problems. It is also so, so risky to put out a video like this for her own sake. The reason why most cultures have some sort of a tradition not to reveal pregnancies until very late and not to reveal a baby's name until the christening or something similar, is because there are so many things that can go wrong. That's not even a superstition. It can all change in a matter of seconds.
I really wish the best for her and the baby - seeing an outwardly happy and smooth pregnancy is a good thing, truly. It's just that if anything at all went wrong in any way, big or small, videos like this would look insane levels of stupid and naive afterwards. And just so much more painful for herself.
This. My cousins partner (at the time) was pregnant and about a week before the due date she stopped feeling the baby move. They went to the hospital and found that the baby had died at 38 weeks, so she ended up giving birth to a stillborn full term baby. Just because you are pregnant, it doesn't mean that you will come away with a baby at the end of it. Not something I would wish on anyone.
At work, someone started organising a baby card for a colleague and I told them about my cousin recommending that they hold off until we know that everything went ok and baby was here safely.
