I notice pregnant women...

in Trying to Get Pregnant

I feel like I notice them even more that we're TTC... I have to catch myself and try not to stare.  I know this is common, but I'm feeling like I'm starting to be a creepy stalker person at stores.  I need to stop!

    Me too.  Also, babies, which makes me extra creepy-uncle-stalker-y.

    I'm the same way.  Ever since we decided to start TTC, I've noticed them everywhere.  It's the same thing with anything new... I learn something new and then they talk about it in a bunch of TV shows.

    I'm part of this club!!  It's even worse that my best friend is 8 months preggo and every time I see her she grabs my hand and puts it on her belly so that I can feel the baby moce.  I absolutely adore it and am tortured by it simultaneously!

    My husband and I were just talking about this last night.  We went out on a date the other night and there were either babies or pregnant women all around us! :(

    Haha, my husband is the worst culprit!  I tell him he looks creepy especially since he has no kids lol.  He just shrugs it off and says, "But they're so cute!"

    me too..I'm obsessed with pregnant woman haha. Well just the ones I work with. I always want to ask them what they are having/when they are due/ect ect..

    of course when I was pregnant with my 2 kids it got sooo annoying to be asked those questions every day [many times a day] =P 

    You're not alone!

    Gah - I do the same thing.  Lemme know if you figure out how to stop!  

    I kinda wish TB wouldn't have this giant ad on the right side of the screen with that brunette pregnant lady.  I wonder if she is really pregnant or just a model?

    Yup. not only do i notice them everywhere, it's like commercials about pregnancy tests, diapers, etc..all catch my attention- like they are screaming for me to look at them. i also have an incredible need to watch ANYTHING to do with being pregnant or babies. Movies, shows...no matter how old or stupid they are. i will even re-watch something I've already seen. it's so dumb!!

    I am the same way most of the time.  But I see pregnant girls allllll the time because I work in OB.  Soo I am pretty used to it.  Although, I do feel like I see pregnant people everywhere when I am not working... Like they are following me hahaha!!
