Silly things you cried about when you were pregnant

[allthesharks]

I know there's been one of these threads before, but I just had a moment myself and it reminded me of the thread so I'd like you to share your ridiculousness too.

Mine just now was that I remembered a dessert I used to have as a child (I think it was called chocolate crunch) which I have previously reverse engineered with custard, hot chocolate powder and digestives. But I just realised we don't have any of the ingredients so I cried.

With DD1, I cried when I was on a plane because the woman behind me had her reading light on.

With DD2, I cried watching the introduction to the London Marathon. Watching someone tie their shoe laces tipped me over the edge.

Please share yours to make me feel less ridiculous.

This morning in Asda because they didn’t have the pasta we always buy, I’m nearly 38 weeks so I’ve decided although it wasn’t my best moment I’m allowed to have meltdowns over little things (dd just gave me the oddest look)

DH had to delete 5 series of One Born Every Minute from our Sky box because I turned into a sobbing wreck every single time I watched one.

I also cried on New Year’s Eve because my Grandad asked me to turn the heating up and I took this to mean he was saying I was a shit host 😆

I wanted a packet of Riesens on a Sunday night and everything was closed. But I REALLY needed them.

It was life and death.

Honestly.

I was 2 weeks overdue with DS2 and soooo huge (11lb 3oz baby and record breaking placenta) and I sat down on the edge of the bed and put my slippers on. Stood up and realised they were on the wrong feet and I was just too fat to see when I put them on. Burst into big body shaking ugly sobs with snot and a red face. DP was at work so I phoned my friend round the corner and she came and put them on the right feet and made me a cup of tea- she was so kind about it that I cried again 🤣

I used to worry about someone hurting my cat- I’d cry if he didn’t come in when I called him.

And they changed the chicken and bacon baguette recipe in the baguette shop. It used to have a tomato relish on. They stopped doing the relish.

No amount of "are you sure you haven't got any out the back" changed anything and I sobbed like a baby who'd lost her favourite blankie.

I really wanted the OLD type of baguette not the new one. I even childishly said "I don't want anything to eat. I only wanted THAT baguette!".

I cried because the stitches on my new maternity trousers were scratching my back . I just wanted to feel normal for a day .
It was the last straw, I had HG and vomited every day between 5 and 16 times a day for the entire pregnancy with days in hospital and unable to leave the house for months .

I saw a dog in a wheelchair in the forest, tail wagging, loving every moment. Sobbed to the owners about what a beautiful happy dog it was, and thank you (?!) for loving them so much.

My husband had the cheek to order a Long Island iced tea. The bar lady didn't know where to look when I burst into floods of tears 🤣

When I was going into labour with DS the midwife asked me to remove my nail varnish. Cried my eyes out and told DH she wants me to look ugly in my first baby photos. Poor midwife must have thought I was insanely shallow, what a brat 🙈

I really liked some face flannels in Ikea in the childrens section, DH wasn't as enthused, I sat down on a bean bag and sobbed.

He stood there looking bemused, a veteran of three (by the looks of it) went past and said just agree mate.

He did, we still have most of them 18 years later.

Surely I win.

Chip shop pouring salt and vinegar all over my chips when I said I didn’t want any. I was starving and didn’t notice until I got home 😭

In the changing room of H and M trying on maternity jeans. It was the first ‘pregnancy ‘ thing I’d bought and I suddenly felt a bit overwhelmed that I was having a baby.
The jeans were great - they had a lovely soft ‘over bump’ bit.

My husband did the dishes.

I cried because the man in front of me at the supermarket took the last tub of hummus.

I don't even like hummus.

I also cried once because I didn't want to take the second to last milk left because I thought the last one might get lonely

Oh a once I cried because someone thought I was Dutch. I was living in France, they explained that they guessed from my colouring I was Dutch or British but because I spoke French well they assumed Dutch so it was actually a compliment.

🤣 I've just remembered I got upset because my partner at the time said help mee I cant breathe with a teddy bear in a plastic bag not only did I but it but I put holes in the others so they could breathe

Buy not but

I had a full on melt down in B&Q because DH wouldn't get any Xmas lights and I didn't want us to be the odd ones out! I didn't know I was pregnant at the time.....but quickly realised that something wasn't right!

I cried hysterically at my husband doing a particularly smelly fart like it was the end of the world!

Oh god now I have laughed till I cried at the ikea story and haven't been pregnant for 12 years!

When Michael left the office in the US office. I cried for about a week after that.

I'm currently pregnant and I cried because our recycling bin hadn't been collected by the council. We'd only just received it after 6 weeks of moving into a new house so had loads of recycling stacked up in the house. Real ugly crying too, couldn't stop.

Freddie Mercury being dead
A dead hedgehog
A lonely looking pigeon
I couldn't find the potato peeler.

I cried over the low quality of British food. Repeatedly. There’s nothing quite like being hungry but unable to find anything to eat.

The cat threw up on the floor and while getting up to clean it I knocked a small bowl of nuts onto the floor and it landed in the sick. I burst into tears thinking dp was gonna be so upset about not getting to eat the nuts. He came back from the kitchen very bemused and cleaned up the mess and gave me a hug.
