I have to say since DH and I agreed to start TTC I have become obsessed with anything baby related. I have a secret maternity board on pinterest, I am hooked on HB, I can't stop thinking about it. It's actually really bad because I'm worried I might be setting myself up for disappointment.
Did you become obsessed? How quickly did it hit you?

Yes! I became obsessed almost instantly. I love to research cloth diapers and cribs and look at baby clothes.

Yep...and it's lasted the whole pregnancy. It completely pollutes my mind!

Yep! And I feel the same as you do, about it setting myself up for disappointment! I realized it had gotten bad when those "targeted" ads on websites all became baby or pregnancy related!

Yes! But keep your obsession on the down low because there are a few judgy people on here that don't approve! I've been baby shopping the whole time I've been TTc, got a crib for my birthday, can't leave any store without taking a gander at the baby section and have several baby or maternity boards on pinterest. Love it!

I have become obsessed with knowing everything possible about pregnancy. I've even read "up the duff" and started charting with a saliva ovulation kit. I see it more as knowing what to expect than being "obsessed" though.
What makes me obsessed is the secret Pinterest boards and being on here and the nesting section of Weddingbee all the time. 
I have tried to keep my obsession quiet but my DH knows everything and my mum actually knows bits and pieces of my "crazy" 
We made a decision today to move up TTC by a few weeks so we start next week I can't wait!

Outwardly, I don't think I'm obsessed, even now that we're pretty close to our "pull the goalie" date. My subconscious on the other hand must be completely obsessed because the past month or two I've been having a ton of dreams about babies!

Yes, once it was on my mind it was there for good! We were lucky enough to get pregnant one the first try so I didn't have to go long.

DH had our when are we going to TTC talk the night we got engaged, and we said it was going to be right after we got married. So all throughout wedding planning I would switch my googling from wedding to baby stuff.... and then back to wedding. Luckily I had wedding planning to keep me sane and not go too crazy with the baby things. Until the wedding was over of course.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one. Baby related stuff pops in my head all.day.long.

Yes, and it hasn't stopped. I don't know where this is going to go when I don't have a baby anymore.

Oh man, I was pinning stuff on Pinterest and making a secret wish list on Amazon months before we even started TTC. Lol! I just love to research stuff and I do it with all sorts of things but especially baby. I've actually run out of things to research on with baby stuff! Lol. I could totally make a complete registry if I needed to tomorrow. I'll be the first to admit that I'm obsessed.

I had a secret board on pinterest ASAP after they announced them! I was dying to pin some cute baby things I saw but didn't want people asking questions. So glad they added that feature!

@mrs. 64: I did the same! Otherwise, I haven't bought anything (and won't until pregnant).
