An irritating reminder why I don't talk to other women...

Coworker number one is working right next go me gushing to a friend who came in and was talking to her about how she couldn't wait for this baby and she was wic shopping for the first time...I tuned out most of it. She was all excited and loud and not hiding anything.
A couple weeks later coworker number two is working with me and talking about coworker number one and all these things she's been doing. Some of which are dangerous to unborn babies. My immediate response was a shocked mouth hanging open expression. When she asked me what was up I just said but isn't she pregnant? She asked me why I would think that, I repeated what I'd overheard and assumed was an excited mom to be. I was told that coworker number one's best friend just had a baby and she was probably helping her shop. I said OK and we started talking about other things. No big deal.
Then tonight coworker number one corners me in the bathroom and blows up at me and tells me to stop spreading nasty rumors to everyone. She's had so many people come up and ask her and they all said my name. So coworker two is spreading this shit and somehow got everyone to say I had told them. I tried to tell her what was up that I figured from the way she was talking it was her baby and she was excited. That the other lady was airing her dirty secrets and all I did was ask an innocent question. Yep. Women don't listen to reason and looooove to cause drama and twist words. I don't get it.

I don't understand that though, they sound like idiotic Chelsea girls looking for the next juicy gossip.
EDIT: SORRY TO SUPERDRAGON468! I was half awake and didn't see what I was doing! I'M SO sorry! I goofed up bad!
I mean, this chick was talking for a good half hour about this baby this, this baby that. Not my friends baby. Never mentioned her friend, unless I was THAT good at zoning things out. I was just concerned and wodnering why a pregger person would endanger a baby they were so excited about. I feel like I'm not making sense, stupid fever. But yea. I normally ignore the chicks I work with. They all talk big about how much they hate drama, then do their best to cause it as messily as possible. I guess what really bugged me was worrying about getting in trouble for creating a toxic work environment. It happened once a long time ago because this racist bitch was going at this young black couple pretty much accusing them of stealing and going through every single thing they bought to make sure it wasn't hiding a surprise. I told her to shut her mouth, do her job, and just let them pay. She freaked out and got every manager in the store involved and fought the issue for about a month.
