Stop telling me how amazing it is to have a baby
No kids yet huh?
So,you pregnant yet?
Nothing still?
Some people just don’t know when to stop or consider the person’s feelings. There are several people that tells me every chance they get how amazing it is to have children and so on blah blah blah….don’t they know that they are becoming very very annoying!
I have been married for more than 6 years and people have been asking me these questions since I got married. In the past I tell them we are gonna wait a little bit because that’s what we wanted, enjoy each other’s company first.
Now that we are actually TTC ( Trying to Conceive) …I get upset when people ask me these questions or give comments over and over like broken record.
I am glad I am far away from one particular girlfriend otherwise I would have put shutters on her mouth.
Can’t people just keep to themselves? What if the person who they are talking to can’t have children? Or maybe they don’t want to have children but it’s nobody’s business!

I understand completely. Due to infertility I waited over a decade to get pregnant with sunnyboy by IVF and found these comments really difficult throughout that time. Now I have the same thing with “when are you having the next one?”. I just want to say “mind your own business”.
Best wishes for TTC

I also hate it when people ask us questions about having a baby. We’ve been married for 2 years and we decided that baby will have to wait. Don’t worry Jade, you’ll have a baby in God’s time and will. No pressure.

I agree with Badet in his time you will have the baby. the more stressed you are the more it will not come I think. My friend waited for 7 years before she got a kid but that was a sad story even before the kid turned 1 she died of a car accident. Sigh.

I totally feel your pain. We tried for a couple of years and it was so tiresome answering those questions. We’ve decided to stop trying for now so it is even more difficult to answer them.

Some people are just plain irritating, ignore them.
Take your time and enjoy your couple time, such things cannot be hurried.

Does anyone have any advice on how to make them stop??? I have never wanted children and made sure my husband was ok with this before we got married. Now his mom makes a comment EVERYTIME I see her. She says things like “I want a grandchild”, I get to go to a baby shower with herthis weekend! Yippee!

I think you can’t really stop comments like that, it’s like an automatic conversation piece right? Insensitive of them to say something crude in issues as intimate as this. It’s like talking about your vagina. Sucks but true. Instead of getting irritated with them, accept this as a reality and ignore.
They’re not the ones who feed you.
