to be bored / slightly fed up with friend relaying every detail of her pregnancy to me?

[choufleur]

Friend pregnant with 3rd. Gets pregnant really easily. We're trying for number two. took 2 1/2 years of trying to get pregnant with ds. Been trying for 6 months so far this time and really don't think it'll happen on it's own.

I'm happy for my friend but really don't want to hear ever little detail, particularly as i'd quite like to be pregnant too.

does she know you are trying and have had a hard time? If so YANBU. If she doesnt know your could try explaining to her maybe that would help.

Part of being a friend I'm afraid. It's hard but it's what you do. It's not her fault and she's excited about her pg.

If she's a good friend, why don't you just tell her you are feeling a bit envious, and that it would help you deal with your own anxieties over conceiving again if she would talk about something else.

YANBU to feel fed up, but possibly a tad U to be posting about it in a public forum.

Hope it all happens for you again soon.

If she´s not doing it to be nasty then YABU.

Does she know your situation?

Years on I could still bore for Britain about my pregnancies & births-given the chance!

yes she knows. I know she's excited but do i really need to know that she had to get up three times in the night to go to the loo?

Loving all these threads about annoying pregnant women et al.

You're making me feel all warm inside.

not saying she is annoying whoisasking just that i'm fed up hearing every detail.

start discussions together on neutral topics like the weather, music, tv etc. I've a few friends pg just now but like myself, they don't see the whole world revolving around their bump - we enjoy discussing all sorts instead. I'm always glad to talk of other things!find it odd how women can be so obsessive about discussing pregnancy constantly day in day out. yes it's exciting but not everyone cares to hear about it.

Your friend should be a little bit sensitive.

Then perhaps she is being v insensitive.

How would she take it if you told her you are very pleased for her but could she not go on about it so much?

(Obviously more tactfully than that)

I am suprised she wants to relate every aspect of pregnancy if she is on number three!

By no 3 I just wanted to get on with it.

Its tricky to get her to stop without seeming grumpy.

lovechocs idea is good. Try starting first with something unrelated. When she starts about pg steer her on to something else. She must have other people to discuss it with?

Good luck with TTC.

Aw, must be hard for you but it's not personal - she's just excited and doesn't care who knows. It's not a competition although I know that's how it can feel when it seems someone is rubbing your nose it.

I have found that perspective changes depending on which side of the fence you are. When you get pg you'll probably be just as excited yourself and want to go on about it to everyone.

Keep smiling, keep your own counsel, keep any negative vibes in check and mentally plan all the ways in which you can bore her with pg details when it happens for you

awww c'mon its exciting be excited for her like she would be for you. thats friendship x

Exactly, that's what a friend does. I've been bored rigid sometimes by the latest boyfriend saga or whatever but in a million years I'd never say anything because people want to talk and their friends provide the ears.

She is being extremely insensitive, and self absorbed,- not to mention a bore!
