Yeah. He should have listened to the red flags Amy was throwing up all throughout his sister's pregnancy. Her whole personality changed and everything.
They could have tried to get her less involved as she become more obsessive, but in these types of situations it’s hard to say any set of reactions would have saved the situation instead of making it worse.
When I had my youngest 15 years ago, the second he was born, bonded, and cleaned up they pretty much put a baby lojack ankle bracelet on him. If he was removed from the area that kept the bracelet signal, alarms went off, elevators shut immediately, all doors to stairways and exits were locked, and the hospital shut down.
And all of that happened when I sat down holding my first great grandson. I was like OMG. He is 9 now but that scared the hell out of me, doctors and nurses running in the room saying they have to match the mother bracelet up with the baby.
Same thing with my oldest godson who was born 18 years ago. I forget exactly what happened, but he ended up getting sick and had to go to the nicu. The nurse forgot to do something with the bracelets and it set the alarms off. Nobody was allowed in or out. Thankfully, it took less than 10 minutes to figure out.
They had something similar when I had my son 12 years ago. He had 2 bracelets and my husband and I got 1 that matched one of his bracelets. It was the same thing, if you went near an exit with a baby and didn't have all 4 bracelets, the entire hospital went into lockdown.
happened to my sister but her baby's anklet went off and she left the hospital with it in her hands. The whole hospital went on lockdown while everyone was looking for her and the baby.
There were so many warning signs along the way that everyone ignored. Had they been paying more attention, things could have been helped before escalating.
But how could they? It would seem Any never behaved like this and only one set of parties were pregnant, so they probably couldn't have had that many warning signs for reference.
@@cjopticon2378 Are you serious? There were warning signs everywhere: Amy's obsession with getting pregnant/having the first grandchild, her suspicion/jealous attitude that Jane was going to announce a pregnancy, her becoming extremely clingy/invested in Jane's pregnancy and the planning, her rather blatant "hints" about having a baby soon despite denying a pregnancy repeatedly, her furtive behavior (stealing baby things from Jane's house), her showing up right when Jane goes into labor (could've planted a hidden camera), where ALL warning signs. Most of Jane and David's conversations included talks about Amy's behavior and if the other noticed she was acting weird. All could have been avoided if Jane had put up firm boundaries/cut of contact the moment Amy started overstepping and if David had started getting Amy help when he noticed her behavior drastically changing after Jane's pregnancy announcement. Women have killed other women to steal their babies when their obsession with having a baby consumes them.
@@trash-hime ok. I get it. I just didn't know for sure because I sure as heck didn't meet people like her, and that I'm also single so I wouldn't have much of a reference outside how my own circle behaves, which in hindsight makes my take not the best I'll confess. At least we all can get to see what warning signs we should worry about now, correct?
The first time my SIL started telling me what I could or couldn’t eat or drink would be the last time. I get annoyed at the bs people in these things put up with.
in some hospitals it's a lot easier than you'd think. A lot of times if someone sees what they believe is a nurse holding a baby they don't question it. and if security is lax then all that person has to do is walk out of the hospital with the baby
Holy shiz! This went west, fast! Getting Amy involved was a mistake from the get go. Everyone seemed to...overlook Amy's obsession with Jane's baby. But I did not think it would go quite so haywire at the end there! I'm glad Amy is getting the psychological help she clearly needs, and, for the safety of Jane's baby, David divorcing Amy is the best thing for everyone involved. Well, maybe not for Amy, but it's best for everyone else at least. Wow. I mean just...Wow.😯😯😯
Phantom pregnancy is not where a partner of a pregnant person experiences some pregnancy symptoms. It's where a person's body actually acts like the person is pregnant.
Had a spayed dog start lactating before. Like she was full of milk and she would curl up and place all her squeeky toys like they was feeding off her even though she was spayed at 6 months and never been around a puppy beside when she was a puppy.
@@Nukemom1952 sounds more like she had tapeworms and she felt the worm moving toward her rectum as opposed to being the only accounted "phantom pregnancy" on record in a couple hundred years. Was she the lady who put her finger in her bum and gave everyone typhoid fever? Prob also explained by tapewroms they are known to give u an itchy bum thats why dogs drag their booties on the ground. One second shes doin a reach around to flick off segments of worm that are irritating her colon next thing u know Typhoid Mary....
So after reading, sounds like the baby was born before the mom could even get into a car to get to the hospital. Then amy went to the hospital with the baby to have the checkup and register the kid as hers on a birth certificate. After a certain point i thought amy might be one of those where she purposely did an at home csection and sis barely made it type deals
Even with all of security measures in hospitals babies still get stolen, swapped too. As far as answering the question: She needed a straightjacket and rubber room and he is as dense as a rock to not see all the MANY 🚩🚩🚩🚩's
I had to do IVF with ICSI to have my son. It was hard to watch women with babies after having not one but two stillborns. I had my son at age 39. And my son is the youngest of my parent’s’ grandchildren. He’s 14 now. I feel for Amy but I’d never go to her extremes. What I’d do was never leave the house so I didn’t have to see anyone after my second stillbirth. And yes I got therapy and medication for it.
I have always found the littlest strange things in movies, books etc. Like bloopers. In this story it's the voices of the women. They sound like they are in their 50s hands down.
My grandparents didn't really play favorites, but since I was the youngest of the first set of 4 grandkids before the next wave 7 years later, I was seen as the favorite. Mainly because I lived with them full-time since they adopted me. Technically, I'm my mom's sister and an aunt to my cousins and younger siblings. LOL
If I was a man I would have left her too, what if he would have gotten her pregnant she could have went crazy and tried to drown her own baby or something, meds don't always work and he can't force her to take them what if she found a med that did work and then she felt she was better and no longer needed them and just quit taking her medicine, she has to get help and it could be long term treatment she needs to worry about fixing her self , I feel kind of bad for her no one wants to be sick but mental health issues don't just hurt the people who suffers from it ,it hurts every one who has to live with them, if I was a man and married and my wife stole my sister's baby I would have left her too ,that was going a bit to far she can't be trusted
This crap never would have happened here in America because the babies have a little ankle monitor on and a very loud alarm at the doors of the maternity ward and you have to have the bracelet's on saying you are allowed to be left with the baby.
Everything that I learned about labor and delivery in nursing goes against that whole " not going to the hospital immediately after your water breaks" thing. Not going immediately when you first start having contractions, that's cool. But as soon as your water breaks, go to the hospital. You probably should have been there a bit before that happened.
People like this are not crazy criminals, it’s an obsession that if not recognised by loved ones can drive a woman to the edge and make them do things out of desperation and the need to fill the need they have. When someone else has what you so desperately want and you feel like it will never be you it can make them do something they would find abhorrent any other time. Mental help rather than prison is what she needed
It's a tough one, because she traumatized his sister and stole his infant family member. I wouldn't trust him around my child if he stayed with her as his sister. She may relapse.
Don't think much of the husband. Obviously the woman had a break with reality. He should at least try to help his wife,; not immediately get a divorce, after all they're supposed to be partners. She is crazy, not evil.
JANE LET HER EGO GET THE BEST OF HER TOO AND JANE KNOW THAT TOO AND JANE IS VERY FUNNY AND A JOKE AND A COWARD TOO AND JANE WILL BE EATING THOSE WORDS NOW TOO AND JANE IS VERY ANNOYING TOO AND JANE YOU WERE WARNED TOO
@@kimnamjooniemoni2221 First, why would you divorce her since she's totally innocent? If she truly believes her niece is her baby then she's very sick and needs treatment and support, not scorn. I have a rare reaction to ADHD medication and I developed psychosis. Believe me, she is not in control, and she's totally oblivious to the damage she caused. So, divorce is scummy. Plus, how do you not think to contact a doctor sooner unless you just don't care? He just seems like the villian to me. 🤷🏻
Victim blame, much? No, you’re right he should be sentenced to life with a mentally unstable and potentially violent person for the crime of marrying her in the first place. People like you are sick!
AMY LET HER EGO GET THE BEST OF HER TOO AND AMY KNOW THAT TOO AND AMY IS VERY FUNNY AND A JOKE AND A COWARD TOO AND AMY WILL BE EATING THOSE WORDS NOW TOO AND AMY IS VERY ANNOYING TOO AND AMY YOU WERE WARNED TOO
Should have david done anything different to stop his sister’s baby from being taken?
Yeah. He should have listened to the red flags Amy was throwing up all throughout his sister's pregnancy. Her whole personality changed and everything.
The family should have seen the changes in her, especially her husband, and seen that she got help, counseling, therapy.
They could have tried to get her less involved as she become more obsessive, but in these types of situations it’s hard to say any set of reactions would have saved the situation instead of making it worse.
He definately didn't listen

Wow! That was nuts! But a great story. The story line was new and very entertaining. I enjoyed that a lot. Thank you!
This was different Ian glad it ended fairly well there were so many worse ways for this to have ended I'm glad the baby and it's mother are safe

she should have gotten help sooner tbh. i feel sorry for her, as well as everyone else. shes clearly not well, but shes not crazy, just ill
Phantom pregnancy is not where a partner of a pregnant person experiences some pregnancy symptoms. It's where a person's body actually acts like the person is pregnant.
And the end result of finding out they’re not actually pregnant is devastating for the patient.

Queen Mary Tudor had a phantom pregnancy; she even had a thanksgiving for her "quickening," which occurs when a woman first feels her child move.

Haha...I just said to a friend that Jane's voice reminds me of Blanche from "The Golden Girls". Amy's voice sounds like she has a bad cold, lol.
I always felt that I was my grandparents favorite and I was the 2nd grandchild born.
wow!
My grandparents didn't really play favorites, but since I was the youngest of the first set of 4 grandkids before the next wave 7 years later, I was seen as the favorite. Mainly because I lived with them full-time since they adopted me. Technically, I'm my mom's sister and an aunt to my cousins and younger siblings. LOL
We go by what we experienced. The mind is very strong
Took us 4 years to have our first, then our second came along 10 and a half months after our first was born
Awe 😢 husband just left her.

She is a Psycho & she doesn't even listen to him
Jane sounds like an older woman.
...like Blanche from "Golden Girls"?
Psychotic break anyone?
That lady needs help.
we don't have ankle monitors in the uk
Wonder how far back this story was based on, as security for babies in hospital in much higher then it was half a century ago.
We didn’t have any security measures besides the bracelets. No electronic things going off I wore a matching bracelet with my son.
This crap never would have happened here in America because the babies have a little ankle monitor on and a very loud alarm at the doors of the maternity ward and you have to have the bracelet's on saying you are allowed to be left with the baby.
You don’t run to the hospital the minute your water breaks. You do call the hospital, and they tell you when you should come.
Well, if your water breaks you do need to go right away. You’re no longer sterile.
Bro
If the water is broke
You need to go to the hospital immediately
Where I live you keep in contact with the hospital untill the contractions are close enough.
My doctor says differently. You should go to the hospital as soon as your water breaks!! That's the first thing they say when you call.
Everything that I learned about labor and delivery in nursing goes against that whole " not going to the hospital immediately after your water breaks" thing. Not going immediately when you first start having contractions, that's cool. But as soon as your water breaks, go to the hospital. You probably should have been there a bit before that happened.
