Had a meltdown at the stupidest thing... (light hearted)

Pregnant totally fed up and dh bought stuffed crust pepperoni pizza, he even put it in oven did chips all while input my feet up... (dd at nursery till 3 so only time I really get.)

Back to the story so I didn't have a drink so took four attempts to get my elephant bum off of the settee and waddle into the kitchen.
I heard something next thing I walk into the room and the fucking dog has taken my pizza Angry then I act like a 3 year old, actually that's insulting to a 3 year old! And burst into tears not wanting to eat anything else just sat sobbing. Dh comes running in and gives me the rest of his pizza, I didn't want to take it but he swore on my life he was full... I still think he likes me enough not to tempt fate with saying that kind of shit lol.

So the dog is no longer my friend, my dh is my hero for giving me his last slice of pizza(almost equivalent to last rolo lol) and I feel like a complete idiot.

Has anyone else pregnant or not had a breakdown over something so stupid???
Please don't let me be the only one lol

I've told this on here before but DH came home to find me sobbing in front of the grill holding a sliced loaf and block of cheddar. I really really wanted cheese on toast. Like my-life-depended-on-it needed it.

I'm deathly allergic to cheese Hmm

Sparklywino · 28/04/2017 21:25

I love this thread! Makes me feel so much more normal about my own craziness!
I cried in Starbucks over a coffee..for reasons I even had no clue about and my favourite..our puppy used to (Still does actually) chase the Hoover and try and bite the wheels. Dh comes home and finds me a crying mess about how dog hurt his mouth with said game and got a wee cut and that if I couldn't look after a dog what chance did u have with a baby GrinConfusedBlush

MrsChopper · 28/04/2017 21:30

We got new neighbours when I was pregnant. I was doing the dishes and saw something dark flash across their garden whilst looking out of the window. Then had a complete meltdown because I took an instant dislike to their huge dog! Proper sobbing and everything Blush Still don't like their dog!

TesticleMeElmo · 28/04/2017 21:48

DP tumble dried my last remaining maternity bra that actually FITTED. I literally bent over the tumble drier sobbing until I gave myself such a headache I had to lie down and have a little sleep - he still thinks I was overreacting. I wasn't.

Littlegreyauditor · 28/04/2017 21:53

When fairly pregnant with DD I took DS shopping for books and made the mistake of reading The Heart in The Bottle. Messy snotters in Waterstones and poor DS trying to hide "the meany book" for me.

In fairness I still can't go near that book, but I didn't know that until I cried all over Waterstones children's section.

Hanspannerly · 28/04/2017 22:00

I cried at the Cadburys advert with the gorilla playing the drums - because and I quote 'he just looks so happy' I sobbed and sobbed and DH was completely bemused 😂

Hanspannerly · 28/04/2017 22:01

I was heavily pregnant at the time

KatsutheClockworkOctopus · 28/04/2017 22:31

While pregnant and in early DS days, 5 little Ducks had me distraught. The thought of poor mummy duck quacking away and no little ducks coming back...waaahSmile

Purple52 · 28/04/2017 22:47

I had a hysterical pregnant moment wanting fishing fingers at 6pm on NYE when there wasn't a shop open or fishfingers available!

DH managed to locate breaded fish chips and peas from various friends and neighbours! By the time he'd found and cooked I'd gone off the idea and felt sick. But was still red and blotchy from the hysterical sobbing!! (I did try to eat it as he'd gone to such effort!)

HP07 · 28/04/2017 22:54

I cried when I was waiting in the Chinese takeaway because I was watching the tv a footballer had scored an own goal and I felt really sorry for him, I don't even like football!
I also went mad when my husband brought home chicken instead of beef for dinner. He said he would go out and buy the beef instead but I stropped and said 'there's no point now' Haha!

BearFoxBear · 28/04/2017 22:56

I was inconsolable because dh said he didn't like winnie the pooh Grin I cried for an hour!!

FrostyPopThePenguinLord · 28/04/2017 23:02

Husband brought home Galaxy chocolate instead of Dairy Milk, my normal preferred brand is Galaxy but that day nothing would do but Dairy Milk.
I proceeded to have a massive strop, refused to eat the chocolate and then yelled at him when he ate it all and didn't share it....he was a bit scared, I was behaving like a lunatic.
Poor thing didn't have much experience before as I'm not usually very hormonal.

glueandstick · 28/04/2017 23:08

Wind chimes set me off. I was apoplectic for weeks. The neighbours moved soon after. I wonder if it was a coincidence.

lolalament · 28/04/2017 23:22

When I was pregnant, I cried because see I was trying to make myself a coffee but had put the milk down on the worktop behind me and thought I'd lost it. My partner came running in and found the milk - but that made me cry more because I could have lost the milk and then he wouldn't have found it

Waddlelikeapenguin · 28/04/2017 23:49

NorksAreMessy

I need to know that the baby gibbon was OK
Need!

So sorry! Yes he was (is we see him regularly, all teenage ish now!) fine - he tumbled & bounced & scrambled down the trees then an uncle grabbed him just (less than a metre) before he hit the ground.
Buff cheeked gibbons are awesome!

KeepCalmLadybird · 28/04/2017 23:55

When I was overdue I had went in to see if I could have a sweep but the midwife said my cervix was closed. When I told my DM over the phone she said 'ohhhh' (as in 'oh I'm disappointed as I'm so excited to meet the baby' Type thing). I had a go at her saying she wasn't making things easy for me, I was the only one allowed to have any feelings on the matter, why was she trying to make me feel bad that my cervix was closed........ And then I got into bed and howled and howled and howled! Shock DH actually got in bedside me and started utilising the breathing techniques we had learnt at hypnobirthing as he was out of ideas on how to calm me down! Grin

Isthisusernamefree · 29/04/2017 00:10

I have had to ban myself from watching Greys Anatomy. I can't cope, by the end of every episode I'm a snotty mess, I feel like all the characters are real people and their lives are just so emotional. It's pathetic really, it's a TV show.

Nearly went off earlier when I saw an advert for Marley and Me on the TV. I will be keeping as far from that film as possible, my hormones can barely cope at just the thought of it!!

RedDahlia - yes yes to planet earth 2 - killed me

astormgivenflesh · 29/04/2017 00:20

@RedDahlia I'm 36 weeks pregnant and just cried reading your story about the bird and broken egg 😭😭

Apocalyptichorsewoman · 29/04/2017 05:54

Pregnant with DS1 - around 38 weeks. I parked in the multistory. Got out of my car - all fine. Realised that because of way that other car was parked that I couldn't squeeze down the side of the cars to get out, regardless of how I was parked.

At first I thought I could but then realised that I was just too round Blush

I was fucking outraged - with the parking, with me being the size of a house, and not being able to squeeze through, the changes to my life in general -7(( And probably 1007 other unrelated issues Hmm

But woul I concede, get back in my car and try to find a more generous space?

No I would not.

Instead - I climbed over my bonnet, scaled over the windscreen, scrabbled over the TOP of my car, and slid down the back, landing gracefully but with a slight 'oomph' noise...

I was absolutely RAGING Blush

AlmostAJillSandwich · 29/04/2017 06:44

I was 12 (def not pregnant!) and was 2 or 3 months shy of my 13th birthday so thought i'd be ok going on the 13+ adult quad bike not the tiny "kids" one at a pontins holiday.
I crashed it off the track into the tire barriers 3 times in the space of less than 2 metres.
I was so incredibly embarrassed as there was a line of kids waiting behind me and i was frustrated with myself, i got off the bike, handed the instructor the helmet without even looking at him and walked off across the track cheeks burning.

My mum tactfully told both my sister and my father to not speak a word to me. Thank goodness she did, the volcano was ready to explode if they'd taken the micky.

CesareBorgiasUnicornMask · 29/04/2017 07:00

Both these cartoons got me last time I was pregnant. In fact when I remembered them and went to search today I felt prickling behind the eyes, and have deliberately not reread the Mars Rover one as I know it will set me off again.

Last night I had a snotty tantrum at DH because he wouldn't make dinner for himself Hmm. I didn't want anything (bizarre return of nausea at nearly 30 weeks) and he said he cba to cook for one and would just have some toast or something. I sobbed at him that he doesn't look after himself properly and how does he think he'll manage as a father of two... Utterly. Batshit.

CuppaSarah · 29/04/2017 07:33

I remember when I was pregnant and the pan lid shattered into the rice. I cried hysterically as I desperately tried to fish out the glass. Dh told me to stop and he would make more. But waiting another 15 minutes for rice was just unimaginably painful at the time.

Yanbu, loosing out on food you're excited about is the worst, when you're pregnant it's painful!

Wreckingball25 · 29/04/2017 08:01

These are lovely!
When I was newly pregnant with DD last year, my DH made me a bacon sandwich before heading off with his mates on a long-arranged weekend away. He put brown sauce on it and I cried (I have ketchup on mine) and I rinsed the bacon in tears in front of all his friends that had called round to travel together. No one else knew I was pregnant so they just thought I was being a princess Blush
Also on holiday a week or two later I sobbed in a busy bar when the West Indies women's cricket team won the World Cup because "they just wanted it so badly" Hmm

Luluandizzy · 29/04/2017 09:06

I wouldn't beat yourself up too much Hun. Pregnancy can make you very emotional. I too went a bit crazy over a pizza during pregnancy. I craved ham and pineapple pizza and went to the very limited corner shop to get one. Of course they didn't have one so I stamped my feet and got annoyed like a spoilt toddler. I settled for a margarita, a packet of ham and a tin of pineapple.
