Talking about pregnancy too much

[PocoHR]

Anyone else worry that they talk about being pregnant too much? I worry that I'm going to wear out the people in my life because really, I feel like I could talk about the baby all the time I love being pregnant and I already LOVE this baby so much, but I don't want to lose sight of other important things in my life either. I think I might try an exercise where I only talk about the baby when asked for the next few days, and try to talk/think about other things.

ME!!!! when im pregnant I can't think of anything else!! and I always think to myself Im talking to much about baby/pregnancy! even with my husband! because he's not as connected as I am with all of this! he doesn't feel much of a change yet and im sure it gets old hearing about all the changes and things happening in my body! every day I think to myself I need to stop talking about this unless asked.. then I forget hahaha
I'm so happy we have B&B to talk about stuff

I think I whine about pregnancy too much! I will admit that I am not enjoying being pregnant, I am very happy that we are going to have this baby, but I can't wait for the pregnancy part to be over. I worry that people are sick of my whining!

ME ME ME! It seems like any conversation I have with someone outside of my home is about my pregnancy. Whether I bring it up or they do. Then I feel self conscious wondering if people think I don't have a brain because all they want to talk about is babies. I have other things going on in my head too! Then I try and go a day without talking pregnancy with my hubby and that never happens.

I am so with you on this one. Can't we just fast forward to after the delivery? It's just been one scare after another. It feels like I am always waiting for the next ultrasound to hear that everything is ok. I am now waiting for the 36 week u/s to see if lo is breach.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. I tried to stop talking about the pregnancy just for this afternoon and I did not succeed . But we were stroller shopping, so you can't do that without talking about baby! I'll try again tomorrow I guess.

It's just tough because the baby is always on my mind. I don't want to overload my DH though, he is so happy and excited about the baby, but I'm afraid if I keep going on and on, eventually it will be too much. It's just not the same when its not happening INSIDE your body I'm SO glad to have BnB though, at least we're all equally focused on babies here

I'm totally guilty of talking about it ALL THE TIME. I think it's driving hubby crazy!

Haha me too, constantly feel like it's all I talk about or think about, yesterday morning I nearly put the dog biscuits in the frying pan with my bacon instead of the dog bowl cos I was thinking about baby kicks! Dh would not have enjoyed that sarnie lol

Me, I was determined not to become one of them pregnant women who just talk about themselves and pregnancy but after my 13 week scan when I could tell people it's all I want to talk about. I keep apologising to people for going on and they say it's ok they understand I'm excited but feel like secretly their going shut up haha

Yes, me, I can hear people around me growing bored with me. I try to limit baby talk at work but at home it's no holds barred - my husband wanted a baby just as much as I do, and he doesn't seem to mind talking about it. The only time he wants to stop talking about it is when I start reminding him of all the things that need to get done around the house before baby comes......

I enjoy talking about it, even though it's my second. I constantly get told by my parents to stop talking about it cause they aren't happy about it (they were the same way with my DD) which annoys me. Everytime I want to ask my mom something regarding baby or just want to talk about it in general, she get's super annoyed, and it's kind of hurtful. Granted, yes, the day I had my daughter they were overjoyed and love her more than anything. But, I don't see why they have to be so rude about it.
