pregnancy rants ! i want to know whats yours!

[droves]

Inspired from another thread , (pg woman rants about someone anouncing their PG on her due date ).
Lets have a thread about those hormonal moments that will haunt us forever...

My personal favorite pregnancy induced rant was when i gave a greengrocer an earfull because i thought his carrots looked funny.
I swear they were penis shaped carrots in the display ...not approprate when there is pregnant women and toddlers in the shop.

I do have one more very embarassing outburst.

I had gone to the grocery store after work (I was about 8 months pg at this stage)

To put it bluntly I peed myself (and my delightful tena pad did nothing to stop it)

A couple of really nice ladies came to ask if I was ok, and if my waters had gone, and I just cried rather loudly - no I've wee'd myself and I want my mommy...

I still shop there too...

I was overdue and watching Shawshank Redemption with DH, have seen it loads of times before. It had to be turned off at the part where Morgan Freeman's character was freed from prison. I was sobbing so hard I couldn't breathe, purple face the works.
I cried in the doctors surgery in reception when my anti sickness meds weren't ready for collection and they told me to come back tomorrow. Cried so hard I had to sit down.

oh god i had a few, i was a nightmare when i was pregnant apparently.

the 1 that sticks in my memory was having a major go a poor old man who was trying to shut his shop for the day at 4.45pm. i demanded to be let in as his sign clearly said he was open until 5.

In my defence my pelvis has slipped (whatever that means) and i was in serious pain for 3 weeks before having ds.

I also damanded that my dp go out at 1am and get me bath sponges and strawberry jelly (my craving weird i know i would dip the bath sponge in the jelly and eat it!) and when he refused i put all his football programmes in the bin, eventually he went out of pure fear of what i would do next!

SarahS and Having, apologies for passing the tears onto you both

lol at 2 yr old patting your arm with face like

You dipped sponges in jelly? Seriously. Wow that trumps everything.

yes i'm afraid so, i loved them, couldn't get enough of them my mother offered to give me 500 quid if i would stop eating them, but i couldn't. I even put 1 in my handbag in case i got hungry . I can't even look at a bath sponge now.

I cried buckets in mothercare the other week (am 38+4 now) because I couldn't choose a change mat

It must be a fucking nightmare working in Mothercare!

i had night in on my own when i was about 8 months. word of advise never ever ever EVER under any circumstances watch the color purple whilst pregnant. the hormones + the film = crying mess on the ground.

dh came home found this crying be-dressing gowned mess on the floor. be-dressing gowned mess in-between sobs blamed dh on the whole thing. it was his fault he was asked to the cinema and his fault that his stupid wife thought the color purple would be a good idea, his fault that i was pregnant, his fault that i lost my tissues. it was awful. i am amazed he stuck me through to the end.

This thread has made me snort out loud, DH keeps looking weirdly at me!

I went to Australia when 5 months pregnant and ended up in floods of tears because an old lady was walking around the ferry looking for a seat where she didn't have to sit next to anyone. She was a bit strange, but what REALLY got me was when she got off the ferry and no-one was there to meet her :(

DH had to practically carry me off the ferry!!

When preg with DD2 I cried when they announced Trevor McDonald was retiring from reading the news. I don't even particularly like Trevor McDonald.

Just remebered it was Smells
anything that had a scent of any sort made me MAD
Couldn't stand them
Started off with tea,
then coffee,
milk ( still cant drink the stuff )
flowers
cooking
soap powder
soap
any chemical ( difficult when both of us worked in labs )...

I am just loving this thread, I am sniggering on the couch when I should really be tidying up.

The night before I was due to be brought in for elective section, we were having a bowl of cornflakes before bed. All of a sudden husband says "EEEEEEWWWWWWWW". He was after removing spoon from his mouth and it hadn't been washed properly, so there was bits of shepherds pie stuck to it. I started to laugh. For about three seconds. It turned into a hysterical WAILING match in which I told him he was complaining that I hadn't washed the stuff properly. Didn't matter that it was actually the dish washer that did it. I was convinced anyway. I bawled for about 15 minutes and he sat watching me and swallowing nervously with fear until I stopped.

These are hilarious! Love the one about the woman who sat on someone on the tube - priceless. I am 40 wk pregnant and lost it at DH the other night because he got home from work and DARED suggest that he needed to go to the toilet before sitting down for dinner. In my defence, I was at the end of my tether with DS (2 years) who was refusing to eat a single mouthful and having tantrums if I even dared suggest that he might want to eat - and was hanging out for DH's return

I can't believe that we all get his bad, and even worse I want to do it all again and have another one.

I think the DP may move in with his parents for 9 months to avoid my crying fits.

I went through a phase in the last three months of pregnancy of eating copious amounts of ice-cream. One night, lying in bed, eating my second Cornetto of the evening (and having polished off an entire tub of Haagen Daaz Pralines and Cream earlier on) DH remarked that I'd eaten a lot of ice cream that day.

I WAILED uncontrollably whilst DH looked on, horrified. Then I tried to get dressed (heavily prg with SPD), got dressed and left the house. Waddled down the street with the intention of bussing it to BF's house. Got to end of street and found could not walk any further so sat on bench sobbing like a baby whilst various passers-by became alarmed to see a pregnant woman in nightie over jeans, crying like a mad woman. Then saw DH bombing up the street in his pj's and slippers frantically looking for me and then started laughing hysterically. And only agreed to return to bed of DH would buy me another iced treat.

i bought a pregnancy test cos i cried at the ivor the engine theme tune. (i never cry at anything)
