There is a pregnant lady in a (very small) fandom I'm a part of. And I'm happy for her and all, but she talks about nothing else these days. And it's honestly getting so obnoxious. It's great! I'm thrilled that you're thrilled! Babies are so cute! But please, can we not have this take over completely? There are other parents in the fandom, and none of them have acted this way.

Poke the mod(s) into keeping discussion relevant. Failing that, ignoring the blather about the baby and only discussing the fandom will effectively shut her behavior down.

I agree. If it gets way too excessive, maybe mention it to one of the mods. Otherwise, just don't engage with it. That happened in a small community I'm part of, and no one ever said anything about it to my knowledge, but people started to just kind of ignore it, and eventually she mostly stopped talking about it.

I didn't mind it as much in the off topic areas, but this was being posted all over, which was just too much. Anybody who is monopolizing the conversation, no matter what the topic is, is going to get annoying.

+1 What happened to the days when mods just said, "hey folks, we're getting off-topic, IRL thread is thataway" and everybody just nodded and listened?

LMAO this would piss me off so bad

IME, pregnancy means your whole world becomes very baby-focused more often than not, and a lot of new mothers get a little obsessed with the topic and it can end up in baby tunnel vision. But yeah, the moderator(s) should be reigning this in because that's their job.

Yeah, assuming this is a modded space and you're not the mod, I would bring it up privately and politely to the mod. It's tricky, obviously, telling someone gushing about their kids/pregnancy/pets/etc. that they're monopolizing the conversation with that talk because you don't want to sound like a jerk, and I've been in spaces where as a mod I was reluctant to step in just because the space would have been so quiet otherwise that I appreciated having an active member at all and I couldn't tell if it was irritating anyone else. But it's one of those things where, if the mod is aware that it's bothering at least one member, it's easier for them to take action, so I would bring it to their attention. If YOU are the mod, you should issue a gently ask this member to tone down the pregnancy talk, and if there are no mods, well people just kind of have to deal -- block/ignore/etc.
