I know that I must have told you this hundreds of times during these last nine months, but I am really grateful that you agreed to do this with me. Thank you for going through this process for us. I love you, baby.

02Honey, can you imagine giving birth to triplets or quadruplets with this pregnancy instead of the one baby that the scan showed us? Wouldn’t it be the coolest thing to have multiple babies at once? I’d be scared, thrilled, and excited all at once.
We would come back home with three or four kids, and our lives would change forever!
03It just crossed my mind, Elise. We are the luckiest people in the world. We are going through this together and experiencing it as a couple.
I know that it hurts for you at times, but it just makes it all the more magical for me to know that you have enough strength for both of us!
By the way, you’ve never looked more beautiful than you do right now.

With all of those pelvic exercises, all of that food, and all of that planning in advance, it’s time to wrap it up. You are going to finish the race wonderfully. I just know it!
06Babe, if you need anything, you can just tell me. I have put together all of the things that I think you might need, whether it is milk or a hotfoot massage.
I have to admit that it’s mostly food that I have brought, and it’s because I don’t want you or the baby feeling hungry or weak on a day like this one.

07Hey babe, I know that you’re probably worried about one of two things right now: giving birth or shitting on the delivery table. You shouldn’t be worried about either of those things.
We can’t know the future, but I’m sure that you’re going to be an amazing mom. Anyone with even half the amount of kindness that you have would make a terrific mom. As for labor, you’re in safe hands with Dr. Gupta.
08Jenny, babe, can I be honest? From where I am standing, you look like a professional athlete instead of a first-time mom who is going to soon be in labor.
You look so ready, like you’ve practiced this for weeks or something. It’s oddly comforting to see you in this light. Honestly, I am digging your sexy mom attitude right now.

What to say when someone gives birth: when it’s your friend
09Hey Winnie, do you know what I am thinking about right now? How cool it would be if we were pregnant together right now.
I am sure that my belly would be bigger than yours, especially thanks to my annoying ability to easily gain weight.
We would be mommy twins, and our kids would be birthday twins too. So, there would be an extra bonus! I’d buy us matching onesies for the kids too!
