Today I cried because......

Ok last time I was pregnant there was a thread on here with the same name and it made me feel less stupid about the overwelming urge to cry at absolutely anything.

I decide to start this tread again because I cried all the way around Sainsburys today why? because a very nice young lad (must of been about 12/13yrs old)asked me if I would like a hand getting my daughters buggy off the bus at my stop. He carried it down and the put it up for me, before jumping back on the bus - it wasn't even his stop! I couldn't stop crying thinking how proud his mum must be of him and how I wish I knew her so I could tell her!

Sainsburys staff were very nice too when asking if I was ok (I explained I was pregnant and hormonal !) they offered me a cuppa and some tissues. Which made me cry even more - some people are so nice.

So please add your hormonal stories here - I already cant watch the news for fear of crying (bloody romantic royals!)

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Set a reminder

Oh wussbird I know how you feel! I take comments on my posts so personally. I don't make controversial comments for that exact reason, but there is always someone on here to knock you down when you think your post is quite acceptable!
I also cried in sainsburys - at the opening of our new local one. I wept in the fruit and veg Ilse as a steel band played to welcome in the customers... god knows why.

wussbird · 18/11/2010 14:06

Oh, bless you expectingno3! Thinking of you crying in Sainsburys makes me do a kind of giggly cry, IYKWIM!

I didn't think I was being controversial - I'll just be extra careful in future. xx

I met DP for lunch and cried because he looked so handsome

AppleyEverAfter · 18/11/2010 14:26

I cried this morning after coming back from the hospital, where they did an internal scan and couldn't find my bean! I'm only 6 weeks, possibly less, so they told me I could still be pregnant but I don't know either way until blood results come through. The thing that tipped me over the edge was the traffic on the way home, it was horrendous and I had a right go at DH for coming through town instead of taking the motorway... even though he took the morning off work to be with me. What a selfish bitch I am. Gonna cry again soon now. :(

matana · 18/11/2010 14:28

I cried when Gordon Brown resigned . I didn't even like him, but he suddenly seemed so normal when he said he was looking forward to spending time with his family. Really got me at the time. DH won't let me forget it.

PussinJimmyChoos · 18/11/2010 14:47

When preg with DC1, I was very moved at a breastfeeing pic in one of the leaflets midwife gave to me..I showed it to DH with a aww this is beautiful isn't it and he just shrugged and said its a baby feeding and carried on using the computer

I sobbed for a solid 10 minutes at is coldheartedness and told him he wouldn't love our baby

cake4breakfast · 18/11/2010 15:00

Today I cried because when I phoned up to find out when my booking in appt was and they said I would have to wait til I'm 11-13 weeks.

This is my first and I'm only 5weeks so dp and I thought it was best to keep it to ourselves until 12 weeks but it's proving to be more emotional than I imagined. I don't want to feel upset and isolated for not feeling I can tell anyone but also I don't want to get ahead of myself in case something happens before 12 weeks.

JoEW · 18/11/2010 15:02

I woke up at the weekend and promptly burst into tears because I'd had a dream where my boss and one of the girls I work with were both shouting at me at the same time. When I woke up I decided I felt very sorry for myself and started crying. Poor DH didn't know what was wrong and I could only say, "I had a bad dream" which I realised made me sound as though I was about 10 years old. Then I cried about being so pathetic.

Oh wussbird don't worry if someone has a pop. When I first looked at MN I asked a question about whether it was ok to have your baby sleeping in a different room at the beginning (I really didn't know the score) and I got lambasted. You would have thought I had asked whether it was ok to drown babies. Sometimes people can be harsh or come across that way without meaning to be. Forget about it!

PS everyone cries at the John Lewis Christmas ads, even people who aren't pregnant.

I read in our local paper about a young teenage girl having chemotherapy and being devastated at losing her hair.

Her mum, dad, brothers and sister all had their hair shaved off too so that she wouldn't feel alone. Crying again now thinking of that beautiful gesture of family unity.

Andie20521 · 18/11/2010 15:14

Well I wasn't crying until I came on this thread

The clip of the baby really got me going, and every post since has started me sobbing again! (I'm 39+6)

happycamel · 18/11/2010 15:14

Thank's ThatllDoPig, now you've set me off too!

My DH decided we'd watch 50 First Dates. Normally I don't watch fiction, I'm a sensitive soul at the best of times. Well I howled everytime they mentioned her head injury. DH tried to turn it off but it was funny too and I wanted to see the end. Then at the end she still has her memory problem but has a daughter and I howled at that too. I really mean it, it wasn't just a gentle sob, next time I saw my next door neighbour she asked me if I was okay so she must have heard through the wall

Last night I cried because I have bad back pain and DH tried to give me a massage and it hurt so much where he pressed I was nearly sick. Then he got upset about hurting me and seeing me cry that he cried too! I'm only 20 weeks, I can't imagine how we'll cope when I'm in labour!

JoannaB · 18/11/2010 15:18

I found myself in Morrisons the other morning on 11th Nov and realised it was nearly 11am, so wanted to explain to DD (who is 4 1/2) why we were all about to go quiet for 2 minutes. Trying to explain carefully to her why we took time out to remember totally set me off crying in the middle of the bread aisle! Luckily my DD is a wise soul and just gave me that 'not again, Mummy' look.

Would blame this on being 29 wks, but truth is I'm pretty much like this all the time! :)

Wobblewatcher · 18/11/2010 15:37

I cried at the Feed the world song.

And Hey Jude on the radio.

I'm 8 weeks pregnant.

WriterofDreams · 18/11/2010 16:38

Being a teacher is very tough when you have turned into the pregnant waterworks fairy! A few weeks ago we were watching a video about religious rituals in RE and when the bit about funerals came on the tears just poured down my face. Luckily it was pretty dark in the room but a couple of kids did ask me later if I was crying. I just said "Of course not" and walked on.

Then one of the kids told me my shoes were cool, so I had to run off to the bathroom and have a bawl.

In yet another RE lesson we were watching a cartoon about the nativity and, yup, the tears started again (RE is the worst for tears)

On 11/11 I just about held back the tears while explaining the two minutes' silence to the kids.

Today I thought someone had come into my room and taken my stack of novels, so I had a little cry. Turns out they were under a bunch of other things.

Poor DH has come home a number of times to find me in floods in front of the tv. I just say "hormones" and he knows he can just leave me to it.

Amberc · 18/11/2010 16:42

JoannaB I cried just at the sign in Waitrose saying they were going to do the 2 minutes silence - not even the silence itself!

fayc84 · 18/11/2010 17:03

I cried yesterday morning when DH told me he had a dream he got stabbed. I didn't even have the dream but it got me so upset.

I cried at work today worrying that I won't be a good mother and had to nip to the loo to compose myself.

PipPipPip · 18/11/2010 17:10

I cried when I heard that Lily Allen had lost her baby. I cried because my train was cancelled, leaving me (only temporarily) stranded then cried even harder when the train man was nice to me. I cried because my boyfriend snapped at me and I cried when he apologised. I cried when I was about to serve some brownies to friends and realised I'd forgotten the whipped cream to serve with them. The list goes on and on...

goodlifemummy · 18/11/2010 17:14

the tesco advert for mumm champagne, where the bottles all leave and then cry for their mummies!...the shame of it!

CallSignCharlie · 18/11/2010 17:26

Oh these are such heart melting stories. Gotta love those pregnancy hormones

When pregnant I was relaxing, watching a film one rainy bank holiday afternnon. DH wandered in and saw my crying, he looked so worried (bless him). He asked my what was wrong. I pointed at the TV and blubbed, "They've got to leave their home, the Nazi's are chasing them. The children are scared etc etc".

He looked from me, to the TV and back again and said incredulously "It's the Sound of bloody Music" I don't think he got teh preganacy hormones thing

sophielouise · 18/11/2010 17:38

This thread is brilliant and just what I need to make me feel less ridiculous..

I cried at the TV advert about the Cow called Mary who's always dreamed of being a horse. As she gallops across the beach - the music swells - gets my heart every time!

clarabella18 · 18/11/2010 18:08

Thank goodness it's not just me!
Themlast time I was pregnant I couldn't hear a brass band without setting off in floods of tears went to a remembrance day service on Sunday walked trough the door and there was the Sally army brass band I started crying before they even played a note!
Also cried at at my desk in work today reading a wonderful interview on the BBC news website about a young guy with treachers syndrome( this may be slightly wrong but I also have baby brain and struggle to remember my name half the time!)
Only 14 weeks got at least another 26 weeks of this to go!!

redheadmummy · 18/11/2010 18:43

Dummyhunter I had to phone my mum and tell her about your post and then I cried at her down the phone!

This thread has made me feel so much better as I feel like I cry at something different everyday.

Today I cried at work because the mother of a baby I had been looking after managed to get him to latch on and feed so she cried and that made me cry. Working with hormonal women does not help when you are 18 weeks pregnant.

PandaSam · 18/11/2010 18:46

I cry at the John lewis advert because it's really sad that the dog has to stay outside in the snow on Christmas Eve! (I'm not actually pregnant!)

sarahscot · 18/11/2010 19:39

Oh no, I must be a heartless cow! I'm 24 wks and don't feel even slightly moved by your tales of sobbing.

cotswolder · 18/11/2010 20:23

blubbing my eyes out now at all of this - just glad DH is out!

Thing that makes me cry most is pure tiredness - at which point anything sets me off including most TV adverts - DH has got to the stage of automatically turning over the tv channel at times when he sees anything that he thinks may set me off.....

I also cry alot when our labrador who used to get alot of big walks before I got too big - looks at me with pleading eyes.....

I still feel rather ridiculous even having read this thread!
