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

Heavily pregnant with ds2. I had terrible sickness, nausea and reflux the whole time. I was reduced to eating stodge just so I wouldn't feel ill.
We went to a local cafe. They served buttermilk pancakes with bacon and maple syrup. I loved those, they didn't irritate my stomach at all.
I wanted them and a side of fries.
Dh went to order, having asked me a variety of faffy questions over what I wanted. I told him, quite clearly. Maple and bacon pancakes with a side of fries!
He forgot the sodding fries. Apparently he was flustered and I hadn't been clear enough. He offered me his fries. I wanted MY fries, the ones I had sodding asked for.
I spent the whole meal biting back tears and could hardly speak to him all day.
Don't mess with a pregnant woman's food. Just don't.

Potentialpoochowner · 29/04/2017 10:34

Things I have lost my shit over include trifle, and sausage pie.

Not pregnant either time.

BananaThePoet · 29/04/2017 19:09

I was bereft over burgers and boiled potatoes when I wanted spaghetti bolognese and distraught when I got served boiled fish.
Hormones make food a minefield.

@CesareBorgiasUnicornMask Oh my goodness, I'm not even pregnant and those two cartoons have made me cry - and actually made me feel GUILTY about my gallbladder removal! 😂

peachgreen · 29/04/2017 19:15

@CesareBorgiasUnicornMask Oh! It has a happy ending! www.sunnyskyz.com/blog/834/This-Comic-About-NASA-s-Mars-Rover-Will-Make-You-Sad-And-Then-Incredibly-Proud

I'm 34 weeks with baby number 3.
The other night watching The Good Wife on Netflix, I burst into tears watching Alisha and her brother chat and have a drink because I suddenly had the strongest worry that my son (3!) and daughter (5!) might not get on when they're older!!! WTF!
My husband was very quiet & just got me a tissue but sure he thinks I'm nuts, I even thought I was nuts!!

MoodyOne · 29/04/2017 19:33

All I could drink was ice cold water , so I got this two ltr bottle out of the freezer (I put it in 2 hours previous) and opened it sat on the sofa and it was so full when I went to drink it, it went all down my bump!

I found it funny , so did my DH until 3 seconds later when laughter turned into inconsolable tears 😭

MrsBartlettforthewin · 30/04/2017 08:25

Big family weekend away and sharing a cabin with two of DH's cousins. I'd gone to bed as knackered, was 10 weeks pregnant, whilst DH stayed up chatting with his cousins. I must have slept a bit but when I woke again I was convinced I'd been awake all this time and it was DH's fault for not coming to bed with me. Que ranting sobbing hysterical pregnant women storming into the communal area to rail at DH. I was so embarrassed the next morning I avoided the big family brunch claiming morning sickness Blush

MrsBartlettforthewin · 30/04/2017 08:31

Oh and with dc2 crying big sobs over garlic lamb. My DM had cooked a lovely lunch even cooking my lamb separately with out garlic. But she used the juices from the main lamb to make the gravy. I covered my dinner in it took one bite and broke down in big sobs. Was having huge smell and taste aversions and had so been looking forward to it. Took me a good half hour to calm down. My single younger brother watched on in complete horror - this meltdown was how he found out I was pregnant . Grin

AlcoholAndIrony · 30/04/2017 08:33

I had been awake for about 32 hours, needed something to eat and ended up having a melt down in the supermarket in the biscuit aisle.

I felt like I'd been walking around and couldn't find what I wanted. I was bereft over the ginger nut biscuits.

Rossigigi · 30/04/2017 09:00

When I was pregnant with ds2 dp took my ds1 to his mums so I could have a rest and a bath.
Had a lovely bath until I realised I couldn't get out. Dp comes in 2 hours later to find sobbing in a cold bath (I couldn't reach the taps to top it up) and he just stood there wetting himself as I cried like a baby.Hmm

Applebite · 30/04/2017 09:05

Oh god, when I was pregnant, I lost it over everything.

And on the classic day 3 after she was born, I sobbed uncontrollably because DP had bought the wrong sort of grated cheddar. I mean - How many sorts are there?!

ItWentDownMyHeartHole · 30/04/2017 09:31

Was heavily pregnant with second child when DH persuaded me to watch Pan's Labyrinth. He'd watched it and loved it. We were about a third way in when he realises I'm sobbing silently next to him. He's horrified when I cry anyway, pregnant or not. He says let's turn it off, I'm no...sob...we've started it...sob...we have to finish it. I cried all night and spent two days tearing up. I haven't been able to watch it since.

I love this thread. Pregnant with first child I pigged out on crackling off the roast and promptly threw it back up. That made me cry. DH still laughs about it.

SmallBee · 30/04/2017 09:33

I also can't watch Greys Anatomy when pregnant. Last time was when April and Jackson lost their baby, the same week a friend of mine went through almost exactly the same thing. I've banned her from that entire season.
I cried when DH tumble dried DD's special handmade woollen cardigan and then I cried about it again when I was pregnant with DS because he'll never wear it. DH thinks it's not a big deal. He Is Wrong.

Elendon · 30/04/2017 10:07

Totally understandable.

Whilst five months pregnant with my DD1, it was a week before Christmas and we were in Brent Cross shopping mall. There was a brass band playing Hark the Herald Angels Sing and I just burst into tears, it was so moving. Big heaving sobs as well you cannot stop and have no control over. I still tear up when hearing this song, especially if it's a brass band playing it.

Eveninties · 30/04/2017 15:29

I cried a couple of days ago because someone asked me if I was pregnant.... I am but it wasn't the point, I've only got a little pot belly so I might not have been! reddahlia your story about the bird's egg just made me tear up!

CesareBorgiasUnicornMask · 30/04/2017 22:57

peach that's lovely! Grin

it made me cry again Hmm

thesnuggleisreal · 01/05/2017 08:50

Lying in bed crying reading this thread, wailing at my husbands 'it's just so saaaaad!!!

I'm 24 weeks pregnant. Earlier this week I cried because I couldn't parallel park, and people kept coming up behind me in our narrow street and making me feel pressured. Actually it was only 2 people but when my husband happened to walk up the street and the takeaway delivery guy was waiting in a car behind me I screeched at my husband 'that's the millionth f person to come up behind me!!!' and broke down in uncontrollable sobs draped over the steering wheel! The takeaway man - who my husband apparently knows - mouthed 'is she ok?!' at my husband. So embarrassing!

I've also cried hysterically because my husband took the duvet when I needed to get up for work, because I thought about a dead frog that I once saw, and at an argument on Gilmore girls among many other things! Does this hormonal state continue throughout pregnancy?

IDontLookMyAge76 · 01/05/2017 20:59

My OH went to morrisons and was late getting back so the flat was empty when I got in from work....convinced myself he'd left me so was full on sobbing when he came back with bag full of treats for me cause I'd been at work.

Also cried when one of my patients with dementia ate some soup......it was the first time he'd managed to feed himself in weeks tho so it was kind of a big deal even without all the hormones.....

alexandrakb1 · 02/05/2017 01:03

Hello, I've never posted on here, dont really know how to post properly, start a conversation on here. I've newly found out that I'm pregnant which is completely the wrong time as my partner lost his job through a mixture of daft reasons, then gave up our home, I'm having to lilive with my parents whom are quite nasty, can get abit too much to handle. My partner also has a short temper, has ago at me alot, doesn't understand that a pregnant woman needs love n support. I too have his mum believing he can do no wrong, just blaming my hormones. I'm not all hormones I just want a real man to take care of a pregnant woman. I'm feeling very along, isolated, anxious, just wanted to find other pregnant women to talk to on here. I too have phobias of being sick, needles which os going to be a big problem during pregnancy. Does anyone have any tips on getting through those times?

Elendon · 02/05/2017 08:49

Alexandrakb1 Flowers to you.

Perhaps it might be better to post separately in the relationships board. I can only suggest you ring Women's Aid and/or talk to your midwife who may flag up other organisations to contact. You should not be feeling alone and unloved right now. Anxiety is totally understandable given the circumstances.

Take care.

Jenwen22 · 02/05/2017 09:07

Yep. I once ate a full pack of kit kats then cried hysterically because I had and people would think I was fat. Another time I had an overwhelming craving for a fish finger sandwhich, went to make it only to find DP had eaten them all. Cue massive meltdown, screaming at him for being a bastard and eating all the fish fingers. Bless him he ran to asda down the road at 10pm at night to get me some more. Last one was when I ordered a curry to try n kick start labour. No Naan bread came after ordering it. Que half an hour of full blown tears, death threats against the curry house when I realised they hadnt listed a number. Poor DP cuddling me totally non plusses lol. Finally calmed myself down enough to leave a poor review on just eat 😂

LastnightaDJ · 02/05/2017 10:14

I've just cried because i need to change my dentist appointment and they don't have another one til mid June!

Elendon · 02/05/2017 11:00

Alexandrakb1 I hope you don't mind but I've reported your post to ask if it can be moved to Relationships. You may get a better response there.

RhiWrites · 02/05/2017 11:22

Alexandrakb1, you've landed in a thread which isn't really suited to the support you're looking for but Mumsnet is full of really helpful people who can advise you. Try posting in relationships as others have suggested.

I once had a tantrum when I was manning to make lunch and found my housemate at the stove cooking. I was so furious I slammed the fridge door and a yoghurt hurtled out and down the back of the radiator.

It cured me on tantrums. Cleaning yogurt from the back of a radiator will do that.
