Really, I mean really...
The horrible moment when you realize that the only one in your family that could care less that your having a baby is your mother and husband. ...my father just screamed at me because I talk about it "way too much, it's all you talk about..." he says....like wow...that's fine I don't even have to bring your grandson over to meet you let alone be anywhere near you if that's the case.
Like...wow....
Like...wow....

ugh, that was rude of him to call you out like that but also a signal that you may be going overboard on the talking about baby stuff. Thousands of babies are born every day and while we are excited about them, they aren't often the best conversation with others. The men in my family don't want to sit around and chit chat about baby stuff either to be honest. That is what girlfriends are for.
sometimes we get so hyper focused on our pregnancy that we want to just talk and talk and talk about it. People can be excited you are having a baby without wanting to talk about it endlessly. I wouldn't think your dad was saying he isn't excited about the baby but more that you were talking about it too much. It's as simple as that and I wouldn't make it more dramatic than that.
Although I agree that he was rude how he did it. for sure, his delivery was not nice.
Keep other things in your life going like school, work, friends, hobbies and all the things that are interesting about you besides impending motherhood! I have girlfriends that we talk for hours about baby stuff ---- but it is because it is a hot topic for them too. So, pick your audience for the discussions. good luck

Did he scream it at you, or did he more like throw up his hands and roll his eyes and say that's all you ever talk about?
Because if he's screaming at his adult married daughter, he's a little too prickery to bring the baby around much anyway.
If he's merely frustrated and kind of rude and annoyed - I'd keep the conversations about pregnancy limited to your mom and husband.
And keep conversations with the whole group general in nature. Enjoy your pregnancy!

Honey, some people just think a baby is a theory until it is actually born. *Do* you talk about your pregnancy a lot? Is your dad always impatient? I'd try to let it go.
Im sorry about that. Hey you can always talk about it to us!
Wow! Having a baby is exciting! Don't let them bring you down. It's okay to be happy about it, but I'm sure you know that.
