Jealous of my colleagues

I work in a team with 7 other women and at the moment I am finding it unbearable all they do is talk about their children or their pregnancies all day.
I am the only childless one and I guess I'm jealous when they talk about their children.
Sometimes it can be so bad I have to pop to the loo just to have a break from the constant chatter.
It's making me start dreading going into work.
AIBU?

That must be v tough for you OP, regardless of if you’re on a childless or child seeking path.
if you can, do try to keep it light and one step removed. Lots of ‘oh that would be fun/ isn’t he clever / oh wow!’
If not maybe confide in one of them to try and steer convo back to neutral ground. Failing that can you have headphones or work remotely?

How boring that they only talk about their kids.
