Midnight conversation with a mysterious woman and a warning about a person I’ve never met

After having a new baby, I was wide awake at 2am and started browsing Facebook on my phone. Facebook recommended me a group for new mums in my area to ask for advice. I did ask for advice about a red flag situation with a midwife I’d met, and posted my question in the group.<br><br>A woman with a purple profile picture and a name I’ll call Tina commented on the post saying the midwife I met was wonderful. She said her husband works in the hospital in a high level position and she knows him and confirms he is a total professional. <br><br>She started messaging me privately and said that I must have imagined the whole thing, and even if I didn’t, I should definitely still see the midwife if only to prove to myself that I was being paranoid. I said I wasn’t really sure and that I had a bad feeling but she said that she was just trying to help me as a mum supporting a fellow mum. <br><br>I repeated that I wasn’t really sure about it and that I was pretty sure I wasn’t being paranoid, and that it would be better to err on the side of caution and keep my family safe. She insisted that the midwife was of the highest integrity and that I was just being overly cautious. <br><br>She said that the midwife is a victim of cancel culture and I should support him because his wife is very upset by the accusations. She said the wife is a friend of hers and she can get in touch with the wife and set up a video call so that I can see I’m being irrational. <br><br>I said I didn’t want to speak to the midwife’s wife because I’m just trying to protect my baby. Tina said that I should give the midwife a chance and that what I’m doing is really unfair on him. I’m trying to protect my baby as any mum would in this situation. <br><br>I said, “Look, I want to protect my baby and I’m sorry if I’m being unfair to him, but I don’t know him and I’m being a protective mother by keeping my distance from him.” <br><br>Tina said she was just trying to help me and that I really should reconsider my decision, but she said she was glad I was taking my baby’s safety seriously and she admired my commitment to my child, even though she disagreed with my decision. Then she said, “But what if I told you there’s another person in your life who isn’t as innocent as you think. A person you actually know, who would harm you and your baby?” <br><br>I said “who?” And she said “Tom. He’s not the person you think he is.” Tom is my boyfriend, soon to be fiancé, and father of my child. I said “Tom is very kind and a wonderful father to our baby.” And she said “Are you sure?” I said I was positive, 100% positive, and she said “Just my opinion.” <br><br>I blocked Tina on Facebook and didn’t think much of it, until I started scrolling through her friends and noticed Tom is listed among her friends. I tried asking Tom about it and he said he’s never heard of her. <br><br>I really think this was a weird prank from who knows who, but still it sent chills down my spine
