Crying like a baby...hormones suck!

[MrsC2010]

Sometimes pregnancy hormones really suck! My lovely husband has gone away until the end of next week, sailing in the Caribbean. I don't resent his going, in fact I encouraged it as when LO gets here he prob won't want to/have the time to etc.

But I can't stop crying!! On and off for the last few days, then I dropped him at the airport today. Fine on the way home, but now I just can't again. stop again! I can't find the enthusiasm to tidy the kitchen, or cook dinner, or anything. I just keep looking at where he normally sits, and the plants he normally waters, or his side of the bed without crying like a baby!! How ridiculous! He's been away for longer before now, so I know it is just the pregnancy making me sad, but it is little things like now is the time he is normally home from work, but he won't be this evening. Or for ages!! A whole week + 2 days home alone! Sucks.

Don't even know if he's got there safely yet as he doesn't land for another hour or so. I keep telling myself that millions of people fly every day and are fine, including many of our family and friends who work overseas.

Anyway, sorry for offloading, just feel so pathetic!

Have you got family or friends that can come round and stay a night with ya?
I would be exactly the same if DH went away at the moment and my hormones have calmed down a bit!
I know it's tough - but try to keep busy if you can and maybe pick up the phone and call your friends to help fill the evenings.

Aw bless, how pregnant are you?

Only 24 weeks, hardly at crucial point yet! I just feel so silly as he has been away before for longer than this and I've been fine! I'm sure once I get the first day over with I'll be back to normal. I have lots of work to do and a midwife appointment to keep me busy for the next few days and then it is back to work. Boo hiss!

I'm sure it'll fly by, just feel like a big baby at the moment, I miss him!
