Maternity Metric System

When a pregnant woman refers to her pregnancy progress in weeks, not months.
Person A: "Wow, you're pregnant! How far along are you?"
Pregnant chick: "I'm 20 weeks."
Person A: "Oh so 5 months?"
Pregnant chick: "No, 20 weeks. It's the maternity metric system equivalent for 5 months. But saying it in weeks makes me sound better than everyone and it confuses and annoys people."

maternal death

When a woman ceases to exist due to excessive strain on her birth tract during or after giving labor.
I think it's safe to say that both the guy who impregnated the woman and the lack of contraceptives are ultimate murderers that caused the woman's maternal death.

Maternal Drift

The gradual or ongoing detachment from the emotional or behavioral responsibilities of motherhood, often seen in young mothers who had children during their teenage years and never fully transitioned into a maternal role.
Can involve a lifestyle that mirrors someone in their twenties, with parenting taking a backseat.
“She had her son at 16, but it’s like she never grew into being a mom—still out every weekend. Classic case of maternal drift.”
“Maternal drift hit hard after she realized she missed out on her youth and tried to reclaim it.”
“Don’t confuse maternal drift with bad parenting—it’s deeper, like being emotionally stuck between two lives.”
