Babies are like the weather. When you don't have anything else to say, they are an agreeable subject that offends nobody.

Several of the women in my office have had babies recently, and suddenly everyone thinks it's acceptable to openly talk about breast pumps, placenta and other various icky-sciency pregnancy/birthing related words.
It's gross.

Yeah, what really irks me is when women at the workplace get preggers. They bring in those xrays of the baby, before it's born, and everyone acts like it's a ****ing miracle. It is NOT. You laid on your back and spread your legs, and the guy didn't use a condom. Some ****ing miracle. I could have had a lot of those by now, but I was smart enough not to.

"Those" meaning guys that use condoms, or xrays?

Plus, when a woman is on top she can't get pregnant, it's just physics.

That's what Al Gore would have you think.

John Edwards is not as big a proponent of junk science as Al Gore.

I'm told I was conceived in the three quarter boston cowgirl position.

[Thread too long; didn't read. But...]
It's not about babies. It's about Lowest Common Denominator conversation. It could be movies. It could be food. It could be sports. If all you can *create* in life is a baby... whatcha gonna talk about? If all you can do is lie before the TV and watch sports/ceremonies/gossip/food_channel/whatever... whatcha gonna talk about?
For those who would create, think analytically, be active... what's to be done?*
It's just the painful overhead of having (extended) *family* (of origin). There are expectations (?obligations / courtesies?) to show up at births/deaths/weddings and spend some time with people you would never hang out with at any other time.
—Love calm & QUIET 
______________________
*Oh yeah. My answer: It's almost impossible to *kill* a conversation topic. It's way easier to *divert* the conversation by sparking another topic. When there's someone with some more interesting interests... I'll try to spark them in another conversational direction - even if it's just between the two of us (and may eventually lead to a suggestion like, "It's kind of noisy in this room. Want to step into the kitchen, grab another beer and continue our Python yack in quiet?"
