Pregnant women are smug?

This is not an attack on you, Girl Who Posts Bare Stomach Photos Every Five Minutes on Facebook.

I caught Jay Leno's show Friday night just in time to watch comedic duo Garfunkel & Oates perform their Internet hit, "Pregnant Women are Smug."

The song includes memorable lines like, "You're just giving birth now, you're not Mother Earth now."

I think technology's rise has made it even easier to correlate pregnancy with smugness. You're no longer just tolerating a five-minute update in the grocery store -- there's the inevitable social networking deluge of photos and status updates.

That kind of outpouring can be tough for a singleton. Just when you think you survived the winter engagement blitz, the spring baby boom hits.

Recently, top items on my Facebook feed -- all from separate friends -- were a stomach photo, a pregnancy back pain update and a summary of what happens during the third trimester.

I bought my dog a T-shirt after work just to make sure my maternal instincts were still working.

Is excessive baby talk alone a reflection of smugness? No way.

But it's often an outsider's first brush with conversation that's truly one-sided. And that alone can be challenging.

If there is one, the moral might be to think before you talk and resist an urge to take yourself too seriously -- whether you're carrying the next child genius or touting the benefits of a Gerber-free existence.

Unsatisfied, pregnancy critics? Stuff a pillow under your shirt and temporarily savor the power of this line: "I can't. I'm pregnant."

Consider your grudge settled.
