I had the same problem, I was so excited about being pregnant, but came to realize the only person that wanted to hear about it constantly was myself, so you can talk about it with your friends sure, just be sure to talk about other stuff too.

I'm guessing this is a first baby for you.
You're excited about the whole process and this is normal but only talking about baby is just annoying. Don't blame the friends from pulling back, especially the ones that don't have kids - they're just tired of talking about the same stuff over and over again. You're an adult, just think about what you're going to say before you say it and realize that if the only thing you've been talking about for the past 1/2 hour is baby-related, it's time to change the subject...

If you recognize it's a problem then it must really be a problem. I had a friend who planned her wedding for almost a year and all she did was talk wedding. Ugh! It drove us nuts! I'm pregnant with my first but I recognize that not everyone gives a crap. The fact that all you do is talk about your pregnancy means all you talk about is you. Friends need to talk about themselves, their problems, issues, worries, etc. Friendship is a two way street. Ask them about their lives, jobs, love life, etc. Make an effort to be a part of their lives, don't make it all about you. I have found a happy medium works best at not running off my friends. Congrats on the baby, I wish you both the best. You're a proud mom nothing to be ashamed of.

Its completely normal to be excited about something and want to talk about it all the time. I'm not pregnant and never have been, but I understand what you are going through. This happens to me sometimes when I get a new animal in the house. All I do is talk about them because they are like my babies.
I would find a forum or chat board and talk to other expecting mothers. That way they are just as excited to talk about thier babies as you are.

It doesn't get any better! I have a 2 yr. old, and sometimes I feel like that's all I talk about. Not that I have a problem with that, but as you've noticed, it starts wearing on others. Talk to the ones who don't mind, and try to change the subject around the others.

Very normal. Your friends will have to get over it because for the rest of your life it will be baby this and baby that. If you know which friends get tired of hearing about the baby maybe tone it down around them and talk it up around the ones who enjoy it....Babies are exciting. Everyone should be excited!

I was the same way, it was my first pregnancy and all I talked about was my baby, and after she was born I think I talk about her even more. It is completely normal you are probably just so excited its all you can think about. I know thats how I felt. Congrats and good luck.

Having a baby is a wonderful and exciting thing. you obviously have a lot of friends who don't have children or they would recognize the excitement that you have.
This is totally normal.
Congratulations!
