A step in preparing for parenthood is role-playing or fantasizing about what it will be like to be a parent. This is done by a pregnant woman spending time with other pregnant women or mothers of young children to learn how to be a mother. The pregnant patient's behavior does not indicate narcissism. Spending time with a mother of a small child is not reworking developmental tasks. This behavior does not demonstrate ambivalence about being pregnant.
