Uh, maybe she needs to see a therapist. I mean, I've never once heard a pregnant woman refer to her baby as a parasite. That seems really strange to me, particularly for someone who went to such great lengths to conceive.
I have heard two pregnant women use this term, but not really mean it. It was a joke because they felt awful. My wife had an awful pregnancy. Was sick morning, noon, and night for the 14 weeks, then got a kidney stone, and topped it off with pre-clampsia and the start of kidney failure at the end which she is still going through treatments for.
She referred to our twin daughters as parasites 1x and then cried like a baby. Her hormones were all over the place. She also cried 3x watching a Grey's Anatomy episode where I finally turned the damn thing off and another time because I left a dirty spoon in the sink overnight.
Basically, depending on a variety of factors - pregnancy makes you crazy. But, we got two beautiful 8 week old girls now and while I thought at times the pregnancy was going to drive me to the brink....I realize now it will be the twins that do that instead.
