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.

And another time dp and I were trading joke insults and I said one I thought was particularly funny. I started crying with laughter. It lasted ages I could barely breath!

A chicken I was about it roast . It had been a babybonce ! And I was very, very emotional at the time. I have now been vegetarian for many years

ffs baby once ! Where did that extra b come from !😂😂

Orange juice. With ds2 I craved it for ages and when I got it, it tasted like heaven. So nice.
And tiny things. Lots of tiny things.

That the train was going to be 5 minutes late. It wasn't even a problem, I would be on time anyway. It wasn't raining, it wasn't cold. I have no idea why I cried.

In an unfamiliar area I mistakenly drove off a main road into a dead end street. There were cars parked along both sides of the street so I couldn’t do a three point turn to get out. I had to back out onto the main road but there wasn’t a gap in the never ending flow of traffic - I honestly didn’t know what to do - started panicking and then cried 🙄
I did get out eventually.

Sat in a cafe at round 6 months pregnant. Asked not to have beans on my breakfast, they gave me beans. Cried and the poor woman didn't know what to do, I couldn't explain untill I stopped.

I once cried about 8 months pregnant because I got an extra chicken wing.

All the charity adverts got to me too.

An awful lot of these are about food

My first pregnancy with DD we had an extension done and no kitchen until a few days before she was born. 8.5 months pregnant, 8pm on a snowy, horrible night, ExDP at work, I bought 2 of my favourite ready meals from M&S. Ham & mushroom tagliatelle. Microwaved the first, peeled back the lid, covered in a thick layer of black pepper. Second the same. I hate pepper.

I cried huge snotty sobs for hours, ranted, and rang customer services to demand a courier. Poor fellow was trying to finish work and reeeeaaally didn't know how to help.

The Ikea flannels one and R Kelly's Ignition have completely done me in. Absolute gold. I love stuff like that.

'Mate, just agree'.

I didnt know what I fancied to eat so DH suggested I go to the supermarket and see what I fancied.

I cried in the veg aisle because I didnt fancy anything

I was eating a cheese toasties, I was eating around one corner and my husband came and took a bite from it thinking I didn't like that bit. I was saving it for the end! I cried so much

An old man in the market, wearing a flat cap, buying pick and mix. I just knew he was going to really enjoy them. And was worried he was lonely. DH had to virtually carry me to the car .

A man caught for speeding by the police on 'police, camera, action' had the same style of glasses as my Dad.

My soft boiled egg I was making for my ceaser salad when I took it out of the water, it made a high pitched squeaking sound. I thought I'd murdered a baby chick, boiled it, in its own home. I panic phoned every member of my family getting increasingly hysterical and insisted they come round because I didn't know what to do. My mum, dad, husband and sister all arrived within moments of each other. I was in bits, sobbing crying, heart in my mouth, absolutely distraught going "ITS ALIVE! ITS CHEEPING! IVE KILLED IT! I DONT DESERVE A BABY, I CAN'T EVEN KEEP AN EGG ALIVE!!' until my dad pointed out that there was a crack in the egg which was air escaping making the noise. And the family legend of the farting egg was born, and even know, if someone has a boiled egg, they still shout "are you sure it's dead first?" (I didn't eat eggs again until DS was about six months old.)

District 9 - the movie about aliens .

They were loosing their homes !! Proper heart wrenching sobs

I got a parking ticket when I was 5 months pregnant with my first baby, because I left the parking ticket on the seat instead of on the dashboard.

As it happened the parking warden was nearby when I returned to my car.

I went over to him to explain my mistake and start to absolutely bawl because if I was so stupid to not even be able to put a ticket up, how was I going to mind my baby.

Utterly bonkers. He was so kind and took my name and address and said not to worry he would sort it out.

He was so nice and horrified by how upset I was.

When I look back on it I feel absolutely mortified and sorry for him just trying to do his job.

Completely out of character for me but obviously I was a basket case of hormones.

Because I finished the twiglets... and that meant there were no more twiglets (I hate twiglets).

With DC2 I really fancied a proper jacket potato so I cooked one in the oven, for ages, so it would be lovely and crispy. I honestly couldn’t wait.

Cut in to it, to add a shedload of butter to it and it was mostly black inside.

I called my DM and wailed at the unfairness of it all and was genuinely distraught (and hungry).

I now always cook two of them, in case one is bad again. Couldn’t live through that disappointment again.

Nothing. I was so happy. I love being pregnant.

I cried because i couldn't make pancakes. I was desperately craving them but i just couldn't make them. 8 years later and i still can't - i have to ask my mum to make them for me haha!!

Also really want pancakes now.

When I was about 7 months pregnant xdh walked in to find me sobbing .
I pointed at the film on tv and wailed ‘they’ve got to leave their home , the Nazis are chasing them and the little girl is so small her dad’s got to carry her ‘
Xh looked slowly from me to the tv and back again and said incredulously ‘It’s the Sound of bloody Music ! ‘

A friend was planning a meal for his 30th. Got to the restaurant and he had organised with the staff a special birthday cocktail for us all and had shown the bar staff my photo and organised a special alcohol free cocktail for me since by this time I was over 8months pregnant. These drinks just kept appearing for me, everyone else had to go to the bar to order theirs. I had to leave the table between the starter and main so I could cry about how thoughtful he had been 🤣

Ridiculously I woke up the next morning having developed Bell’s palsy overnight and spent hours in hospital trying to convince everyone I hadn’t had a stroke and deciding whether or not to risk steroids to treat it (I’m a type 1 diabetic and steroids can make your sugar levels go crazy). None of that made me cry at all, that was just really fucking annoying.

I cried because Tesco had no tuna sandwiches

I also cried because I used my pregnancy dog-nose heightened sense of smell to track down the source of a musty smell ( stale water in the cutlery drawer) and when I told Dh he wasn't fully amazed and overawed by my discovery. I actually vaguely recall thinking this spelled the end of our marriage because he didn't recognise the enormity of this.

😂😂 some of these are amazing!

I cried uncontrollably when DH farted & it stank. I was really offended that he’d done it. I honestly couldn’t breath I was crying so hard. He thought it was hilarious & I’ve never lived it down 7 years later.

I cried when the milk I’d just bought to make macaroni cheese turned out to be off. The shop was all of 1 minute away from my house.
I also cried when dd was 3 weeks old because we’d gone to the pub for a roast lunch and they’d run out of roast lamb. The poor teenage waitress actually persuaded a previous customer to swap their meal choice so I could have the last one. I cried again when she told me. And then I cried when I went to thank the man who had swapped. 😳

Sorry dd was 3 days not 3 weeks.
I was still crying about random stuff at 3 weeks though... and possibly 3 months/years too!

In my last pregnancy I would sob after laughing. Every single time. No idea why but it always went that way. My poor DH used to really hope nobody told me a joke....
