How to set boundaries with friends about pregnancy privacy and sharing

My close friends keep asking detailed questions about my pregnancy and prenatal appointments and I feel obligated to share everything, but actually I want more privacy than I expected. I don't know how to set boundaries without hurting feelings or seeming ungrateful for their interest.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
