Obsessed?

[xx.kelly]

I am 8 weeks pregnant at the moment and I think I’m obsessed. All I do is think, talk and read books or magazines about the baby.

I always ask my boyfriend why he doesn’t care about the pregnancy as much as me and he said its because I’m obsessed. I hadn’t even realised until he said it…but its true!! It’s completely taken over my entire thoughts – I can’t stop thinking about it

Is this normal?

yep! lol..

try not to worry though.. its harder for men as its not happening to them is it.. my husbands been better since he saw the scan.. xx good luck

Yeah i think it is normal. I asked my hubby why he doesnt seem interested at all in this 3rd baby was expecting. He said its cos he has had 4 years of constant baby talk So when you have this baby you will probably find that you are still obsessed with baby talk, books. I admit im obsessed even though its my 3rd.

I think that is why i come on these forums so that i can speak about my girls and this baby as much as i want because people expect it on here. Some of my friends and my sis dont have a clue as they are babyless and just get bored of me going on i think

My Mother in Law accused me of this because I mentioned, while we were at the pool on holiday, that I liked the idea of teaching our young baby to swim when s/he arrives. (I deny this absolutely, of course!)

Having said that, I did watch 4 hours straight of baby programmes on Living last night, which is a little worriesome. (Including that woman who had two wombs, was pregnant in each of them and successfully delivered both babies. I thought it was amazing!).

Mostly, though, I try to mention my symptoms to my husband on a daily basis just so that he can feel involved because we haven't had the scan yet and I only have a tiny bump. He doesn't appear to be too upset by these updates, so I think I must be keeping it reasonable!

My Matt wants to know EVERYTHING! I think that rather than me doing his head it could end up the other way! LOL. But I like that. I like men to take an interest in this kind of stuff. It's important.

I'm exactly the same, although I'm starting to bore myself a little now as I keep reading the same stuff! I'm impatient waiting to tell everyone at work etc, should recreate the initial excitement all over again!

I'm guilty of it too! I have even started to look at pushchairs etc even though I refuse to buy anything until I've had my 20 week scan. I'm driving hubby mad!!!

Im driving Tommo bonkers, I cant helop but keep oging over stuff and talking about the baby.
Thank god shes here in a few weeks! (his words)

My bloke although it great at looking after me, isnt fussed about what bean looks like right now etc... he likes feeling baby kick, but im a long way of that. He dont mind watching all the baby shows on tv phew hehe

But when baby does arrives, he becomes the best daddy ever.

I think it's the desperation to tell people!

I think it's the desperation to tell people!

Definitely - a girl at work has just announced she's pregnant and now I feel like she's gonna take away our limelight when we tell everyone in a couple of weeks!
