idk what's normal, unfortunately! but like women would bring their newborns to work to show off, and have to change a diaper, and all the other 'normal' women - usually moms themselves - would just gather around and ooh and ah - and I would feel like a 5-yr old trying to get a peek - then I realized that's how I had been treated AS a kid - don't look, it's not nice - I never even babysat (like as a teenager) or changed a diaper (ever!). well, maybe once or twice, but I think i've blocked it out. my mother just did not want me to get pregnant without a husband. but I think she carried the message a little too far. she even discouraged me from playing with baby dolls.
