Boss just stood in the hallway, going in to detail about both of her children's births. Some of us do not enjoy such stories and, despite that its "a
natural thing," get quite squeamish when listening to someone describe having her uterus ripped and sewn back together, or hearing stores about one's
placenta.

Yeah, I made a joke about how I had to leave because I was going to hit the dirt. I was told that it wasn't her fault I didn't have kids and had to be
so uptight about it.

I don't have kids and those stories don't bother me. Of course...they do remind me I don't want to have children anytime soon but I don't wig
out.

I don't have kids, and while the stories do make me squeamish, I'm glad I know about pregnancy before becoming pregnant
 without the horror stories
of coworkers, I might have gone into it blind

I would walk away. No way I'm going to listen to that stuff.

Anything medically related makes me feel extremely faint. I don't know why. Boss knows this and thinks it's funny to tell scary surgery stories because
of my reaction. (Turning white.)

I think she is playing you. Just tell her you are uncomfortable and walk away. If she continues, report her to someone else.

She is, nothing I can do about it. I've been over that bridge before. I comfort myself with the fact that no one likes her.

Meh. If you don't want to hear it, don't listen. Besides, I'd much rather listen to someone's birth story than sex stories.

My old boss told me about his wife's last birth but not in detail and in a funny way. That didn't bother me at all. But if I had to listen to that and
they went into way too much detail I would probably be grossed out.
