AIBU, surely all pregnant women have these moments?

[SheNumpty]

Whilst pregnant with my DD I found myself crying uncontrollably at the train station coming home from work one day because I couldn't see a single pigeon that had two fully formed feet. It was like the most desperately sad thing I could think of at the time.

My husband thought I was mental, could not wrap his head around how hormones could possibly make you like that (I was not normally reduced to tears by the malformed feet of sky rats).

IANBU I know, but could I please have your stories of hormonal madness so I can show him that it's not just me?

Oh yes! Thoes "what the hell have I done?!" moments! I'm 32 weeks with dc4 and I still look at my 3 and think what did i do? What am i doing? Who thought this was a good idea?
Especially when I have 3 kids crying and whining all at the same time

I cried because an elderly man was buying pick and mix from the sweetie shop in the market. He had a flat cap and a cane and a little doggy pal. Dh had to virtually carry me back to the car as I was beside myself.

I cried because Dh put the chicken in the oven and I wanted to put the chicken in the oven.

That fucking horse bank advert with the galloping amd the life events broke me, regularly.

I cried because I went off the taste of chocolate and it felt like the only treat I still had. Also had a complete melt down because no where in Canary Wharf sold maternity tights and I had a big work meeting and laddered the pair I was wearing.

I had a proper snotty meltdown when the takeaway delivered TWO prawn madras instead of my one KING PRAWN madras. I was inconsolable.

Dh phoned and sorted it out for me.

I wept inconsolably because I was watching the London Marathon on tv and someone won it.

A very aggressive man tried to force me off the road in his van, I was so incensed I followed him with my hand on the horn until he pulled over. He got straight out and stormed over, I flung open the door and sort of heave launched my 7.5 month pregnant raving self out the car. He turned and fled! I don't blame him tbh.
When I got home I cried that the milk lid was blue fook knows why.

I pulled over in a layby and sobbed, head on the steering wheel, snot and tears everywhere type sobbing when pregnant with my dts.
The police stopped behind me, and Mr policeman came over to me, took one look at me and beat a fast retreat to his car. His female companion came over a minute later to see what was wrong, and I howled on her shoulder while she patted my back lovingly.

The problem? I ran out of windscreen skoosh.
Felt like a right tit afterwards, but at the time it was the end of the world!

I'm not even pregnant (but did have dd4 12 weeks ago, so I'm blaming that) and just cried because the woman on Ant & Decs Saturday night takeaway won all 15 prizes after trading 7 to answer one last question.

I cried because I wanted toast. The kitchen, containing bread and a toaster was quite near but that didn't seem to occur to me. Fortunately dh went and made me some toast. The other one was hysterically sobbing because dh put the cot together and put the matress on the middle setting not the top. For some reason I was convinced that this was terribly dangerous to the baby....

I cried every time colleagues asked how I was. No idea why, I was fine, and would answer as much through my sobs. The twats used to find it hilarious, and would ask me how I was several times a day

I cried because lightening McQueen goes back to push the old racing car over the finish line... It's a cartoon car ffs!!

At 35 weeks when I saw a bit of a film about veganism and they showed footage of cow pining for her calf. I howled uncontrollably and couldn't get it out of my head. Not having milk products since.
Hating on DP's stuff (he does leave clutter around where I compulsively put everything away) so much I would start throwing it around or banging it (keys, wallet, shoes, work bag) in a futile rage. Then I'd sit down and cry not knowing why.
Crying at You Got The Love by Candi Staton.
Oh the joys of third trimester.

When I was about 8w pregnant, my morning sickness was so bad and I'd been sick from the early hours of the morning. I had to go to work still and about 3pm I finally felt well enough to eat and all I wanted was a wasabi chicken noodle pot. When I got there they had none left. I ended up, back at work sobbing my heart out!

When 8 months pregnant the Tesco Christmas advert had me in bawling tears every time it came on!

About a week after DS was born, my DH had taken him up to bed and I hauled (EMCS) myself up the stairs, walked in our bedroom and he had changed the sheets on the bed. I couldn't stop crying at 'how kind you are.' I could tell he was trying not to laugh at me and be understanding at the same time

I cried over that Guinness ad where the gay rugby player comes out to his team mates

I cried because Ex went and bought an air conditioning unit when I was heavily pregnant in a heatwave. I didn't want air conditioned cold air. I wanted PROPER cold air.

Oh gawd Audrey I am pregnant at the moment and just your description of the elderly pick and mix man has brought tears to my eyes!

I cried for a whole day last week because I decided I didn't like our house

I am also having to avoid all sorts of news and social media like the absolute plague at the moment as all I seem to see are the sad horrible stories and I am a basket case afterwards. I have spent many evenings sobbing into my pillow (trying to hide it from DH!) due to some sad story I have read, yet if I see one I HAVE to read the whole thing, I can't just not look at it and save myself the pain. It's like picking a painful scab. Argh.

I had two negative tests so I thought I wasn't pregnant I went to work for told Chelsea won 5-0 burst into hysterics my boss for his wife to take me home I was that bad i retested I was pregnant (I don't like football btw)

A few weeks after she was born I forgot where I lived

Not a particularly lighthearted one, but ExH and I went to the Imperial War Museum when I was pg with DC1. I became so embarrassingly distressed in the holocaust section that we had to leave and I sat outside sobbing so hard I could barely breathe. Obviously, with the benefit of hindsight, only a complete idiot would think that was an appropriate outing for a pregnant woman!

I didn't, but I'm odd

I cried when I could work the Asda photo cake machine.

Stupid bastard thing it was.

I started crying making a sandwich could think of no reason for it lol

These are outstanding

Mine is that I was watching the film Twister and it got to the end, when they finally succeeded in launching the twister data collection device thingy successfully into the storm. DH rang right at that moment, wanted to know why I was howling inconsolably and all I could do was sob "because Dooooooorotheeeeee fleeeeeeeeeew!" repeatedly down the phone at him.

Having had a veg box delivered weekly previously dp thought he'd restart our orders with A MASSIVE box which was on offer. What with him working away all week and me only there in the evenings suffice to say few vegetables were eaten. I'd asked dp to cancel the next box but when I got home from work there was ANOTHER humongous box on the doorstep! I lugged the ten-ton brute into the kitchen, promptly sat down in the middle of the floor and wailed to high heaven. I phoned dp and apparently sobbed for almost an hour about there being "too many vegetables". He jokes about it to this day.

Worse still, all professional-looking and walking out the door to work some days later I bumped into my next door neighbour who expressed sincere and heartfelt concern for my well-being; she said she'd heard me crying... I had no idea what she was talking about - I don't cry - then I remembered, "TOO MANY VEGETABLES"; cringe!

I've generally been completely fine. However, every time I pass an emergency services vehicle I burst into tears. Also, like a PP, the radio makes me sob sometimes.

I cried watching Crufts because 'the dogs are so clever' 😂
