Baby talk

[Babybell]

I know exactly how you feel hun. I was talking to my MUM the other day and she said 'is this all you talk about to your friends?'!!!!
I was fuming - you would think my mum would be happy to talk about her future grandchild
I was so annoyed - its put me off telling her things now

This is awful! How on earth can people be so rude?

Might be easier said than done but I would give these people a very wide birth and find friends who are not so self centered and are actually interested in the thing that is having such a big big bearing on your life!

Either that...or take advantage of all those hormones you have at the moment girls and give them a piece of your mind or you could give them a lol

Perhaps your friend is TTC and having a hard time of it. Constant baby talk would drive anyone insane in that circumstance. I know a couple of years ago, all I could think about was having a baby...my hubby wasn't on the same page as me then, and so really, all I could do was think about it. It was so upsetting to hear about each of my 2 coworkers, 2 cousins, 3 friends all falling pregnant. No one aside from my husband, and later on my sisters, knew how I really felt.

Now, with that said.......if this isn't anywhere close to her situation, that was a horrible thing to say. :X Although I'm trying to think of a tactful way to say it, and nothing is coming to mind. It's a touchy situation I think as it is so easy to obsess over our babies and changing lives (nothing wrong there!), but we do have to understand that not everyone may want to hear about it all the time.

I'm sorry though that your feelings were hurt, and hopefully your friend picks her words better next time!

Maybe your friend feels she is loosing her friend a bit, what did you used to talk about before you got pregnant maybe she's just missing that and didn;t say it in a very tactful way, she obviously feels close enough to you to say how she feels which i dont think is wrong, did she say she never wanted you to talk about the baby, or just sometimes can you not. As she has never had children she definately wont understand your excitement and thats not meant in a nasty way, sometimes i feel like i need to be myself and not always seen as pregnant, maybe it is the same for her she needs to see you as you and not just pregnant, even if she isn't ttc she still may feel left out a little,and as its something you have not got in common she just doesn't understand and thats not your fault and its not hers. I'm sure she wasn;t trying to be rude. I think sometimes we forget that as much as pregnancy is the only thing we think about thats not who we are. I hope I haven't offended you, just trying to see it from her point of view aswell.
