I think “We/Our/Us” would be more appropriate, if you just had to use an invented pronoun.

Here's how it works:

Your friend is pregnant and you are speaking to them or about them.

Subject Pronouns

SingularPlural
(N/A) "We"
(N/A) "You"
(N/A) "Them"

Possessive Pronouns

SingularPlural
(N/A) "Our"
(N/A) "Your"
(N/A) "Their"

Object Pronouns

SingularPlural
(N/A) "Us"
(N/A) "You"
(N/A) "Them"

At least that's my recollection from 3rd grade. (1960s)

We/Our/Us are the first person plural personal pronouns.

They/Them/Their are the third person plural personal pronouns.

If the pregnant woman is claiming to speak for them baby she’s carrying as well as herself, then all of those pronouns are appropriate for her to use.

The leftist freaks are so ignorant of grammar as well as biology that they get the whole use of pronouns jacked up.
