So my question is:

I am wrong to feel weird about my girlfriend potentially helping take care of her exe's child?

Do you think historical archetypes confirm my unease?
If your Jungian subconscious is uncomfortable, then go with your gut.

As though she wishes that they were sharing in the experience? Is that what you mean about projecting her maternal side?

Who was friends first, in this scenario? Was she friends with the expecting mom, long before her ex entered the picture?

Or do you worry about triangulation of the three of them?
Edit: of course had they not been friends prior, the expecting mom might instinctively keep distance, making this moot
