Am I over-reacting?

I cringe when ppl say "this is my time," whether it's about weddings or pregnancies. Sorry, but I think you're over reacting.

Ditto. Also, this is really weird stuff to talk to co-workers about , especially one that you are not even close to.

I am sorry this upset you but really you should not let this bother you.

I would be thrilled if someone else in my office was also pg. Then all the attention can go somewhere else. I dread the constant comments and harassment I will get from my coworkers. Plus having to take off work and losing your place (while temporarily) and having to come back and reestablish yourself.

I don't think I'd say you're over reacting--I think how you feel is how you feel. Everyone reacts to this kind of stuff differently, especially with the crazy mix of hormones thrown in. That said, you can't help what other people choose to do and so I'd probably keep my feelings to myself (or not discuss it with the other coworkers) if she does turn out to be pregnant.

I totally agree.

I don't really get the "this is my time" line of reasoning. You don't get to "own" pregnancy. I think you are overreacting.

I am happy that I am not the only pregnant woman in my office. I have been the only pregnant woman for about 3/4 weeks (first pregnant woman delivered) and it is killing me!!! Just found out I have a newly pregnant coworker. Can't wait until she spills the beans to the others so everyone can focus on someone else's belly!

I don't understand the "it's my time" thing.

bricco I think the one thing that is not fun about having a pregnant coworker is that the pregnancy talk is definitely increased. Sometimes I just want to NOT talk about being pregnant.
