"PinterestFacebook&amp;quot;My birth involved what?&amp;quot;\nI love my friends and I love their babies, but lately I&amp;#39;ve been on pregnancy talk overload. While I&amp;#39;d like to call a week-long moratorium on the pregnancy talk, I really want to support the friends I love so much, and also, I don&amp;#39;t want to be out of the loop in case someone says something good.\nSee, my college friends and I do this group email thing. Everyone &amp;quot;replies all.&amp;quot; The 8 of us have been doing it since the summer of 2000. Two of them have babies, two of them are pregnant now, two of them are engaged or married with no kids, and two of us are single.\nOne of my BFFs is going to head to the hospital any day now. She&amp;#39;s slightly terrified and looking for advice, so the talk has turned pretty graphic. Just to give you a taste of what I&amp;#39;m talking about, here is an excerpt:\n*After you give birth, you have super heavy bleeding and the nurses\u2026giant pads\u2026ice packs\u2026giant net underwear things to hold it all in place.\u2026next time i&amp;#39;m going to\u2026buy some giant granny panties\u2026its like making a subway sandwich with the pad, ice packs, witch hazel pads and this foam stuff for pain.*I kid you not, this is an actual quote! Good thing I wasn&amp;#39;t eating a Subway sandwich when I read this.\nI definitely have to scan some of the emails. I don&amp;#39;t suppose I&amp;#39;ll understand until it happens to me, if it does. I know it&amp;#39;s scary and fascinating and urgent when it&amp;#39;s happening to you, but for now? TMI! I&amp;#39;m tired of seeing the word &amp;quot;nipple,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;nightgown,&amp;quot; and everything in between.\nEvery once in a while, one of them says, &amp;quot;Meanley, how&amp;#39;s Jeremy?&amp;quot; And I&amp;#39;m like, &amp;quot;His name is Justin.&amp;quot; I know they have babies on the brain, and they must be tired from all that pregnancy, but they just better not be too pregnant one day when things work out for me and they need to show up to my wedding!\nHave you ever told your friends to can it? Should I call for a Week of No Pregnancy Talk? Should I email them graphic descriptions of my vomit from partying too hard (kidding, Mom)? Anything you&amp;#39;d like me to not talk about or blog about?\nP.S.
