Pregnant, crying at everything!

Today I welled up while listening to a local primary school choir sing in the atrium of my work (big government department). They were just so beautiful , and innocent , and that might be my DD (2.5yrs) in a few years' time .

And yesterday I kept cracking up whilst singing the Teddy Bear's Picnic to DD. Those teddy bears were having such a lovely time! Look at them gaily gad about! And their mummies and daddies will take them home to bed ! I could barely (groan) finish the song!

Bizarrely, it doesn't seem to be particularly sad things which start me off, just anything at all emotional, or to do with children.

Anyone else been crying at irrational things recently?

I'm not pregnant now but I remember when I was pregnant with DD1, I nearly cried at the sight of the Christmas lights in Liverpool city centre, because they were so beautiful.

Oh and once during same pregnancy I had to choose between two kinds of pasta sauce in a supermarket and just couldn't decide and started crying real tears.

last week on 2 occasions I simply felt that i had to have a blub. No idea why (except possibly being tired) but i just HAD to whinge!

Scouseem · 08/12/2010 21:51

I cried last week because I made blackcurrent squash instead of orange and was so upset my DH couldn't help, even when he drank it and made me orange I was still upset. Xx

SpannerPants · 08/12/2010 21:55

I cried at Jeremy Kyle this afternoon and the particular part of the show was only about neighbours squabbling

JBrd · 08/12/2010 22:24

I cry at everything on TV at the moment, it's really embarassing... Worst of all is the John Lewis Christmas ad, I now even start welling up when I just hear the song on the radio.

I also cried at Strictly come dancing and Jamie Oliver's food programme

Icanonlytry · 09/12/2010 09:09

I am crying all the time too, am 17 weeks with a big bump so it is quite obvious I am pregnant but still embarrassing, for some reason it seems to be when I talk to anyone, am not well at the moment so that is making me feel even more emotional.
I have cried everyday this week when ringing work to tell them I was not going to be coming in, even though they have been lovely about me being off, cried when making a doctors appointment, cried when booking in for appointment with receptionist, cried when I walked into the consult room, cried when dp asked what the doctor had said, I even cried when the next delivery guy came yesterday and god help anyone who has asked how I am feeling, think FIL thinks I am crazy, I think I might be cracking up

rocketleaf · 09/12/2010 10:26

I seem to get it in the car on the way to work. Something on the radio, (or just in my head) will set me off. Yesterday it was John Lennons Imagine Then I cried at the end of Bruce Almighty. It seems to be things I would normally regard as pretty naff :o

These are very good! I have made it through today without tears so far, but there's still the evening to go!

I cried at Alladdin today, but it hadn't even started :'( and then most of the way through lol.

I started crying in the post office queue because someone was sending parcels to Afghanistan, I've actually got tears in my eyes writing about it

TooImmature2BMum · 09/12/2010 22:35

I nearly cried today (was at the stage when your voice is all funny and your face feels hot and your eyes are swimming) because I asked DH to get me lunch and he didn't. We were working in the same office because of the snow, and I had to go to a different building for a meeting, and I knew it would drag on, so I asked him to get me lunch. I was so sure he would do it I didn't even take my purse, and then when I was waiting for my lift back I called and DH said he hadn't done anything and couldn't I wait until 4? I would have howled properly if I hadn't been in the middle of the office. As it was, I went into the hall and hissed at him that I would just have to do it myself when I got back and I would probably fall over on the ice and it would be all his fault.

I actually get like this when I'm not pregnant if someone suggests I forgo lunch. Especially on days like today when work had been mental and I hadn't been able to get any breakfast. It wouldn't have been so bad if it hadn't been that I couldn't stop feeling teary and my voice wouldn't go back to normal for ages!

Mumbybumby · 09/12/2010 22:39

I thought it was just me! I've found myself crying at the music and child's VoiceOver in the background of 'Show me Show me's animations (!) and other random music sets me off too.

MrsCratchit · 09/12/2010 23:52

The Tetley tea ad, with all the old characters returning to the factory set me off a few weeks ago...!

1Catherine1 · 10/12/2010 00:36

Yesterday evening I cried because my OH had taken the phone cable out of my landline phone and I didn't know where it was and I wanted to make a call. What makes it slightly more ridiculous is that my landline phone was to the right of me and my mobile phone was to the left and I can use either to call landlines for free

I had a proper cry and then phoned OH to shout at him for being so unreasonable and doing this to me! Luckily he was taking another call at the time so I phoned my sister instead who just laughed at me.

Rachy91 · 10/12/2010 01:01

the tears watching corrie this week!
i know it was horrendous and emotional anyway but all i had to do was look at baby jacks dirty snowsuit and i was sobbing!! like properly inconsolable sobbing!
and as for when fizzs baby was born! shes exactly as pregnant as i am (we had our scans on the same dan and everything! lol)
i wouldnt mind but OH (whos usualy quite sensitive, esspecialy to babies now)barely batted an eyelid!

whats even worse is i dont even watch corrie and am only watching it this week for all the drama!

tlise · 10/12/2010 08:58

Oh anything with children in, they were singing in the shopping centre yesterday and my eyes started....wasn't even my kids and they hadn't actually begun to sing, it was just the sight of them lol.

Cos my youngest likes certain songs and one of them was playing and I thought oh he likes that lol.

ran out of pasta..... the list goes on lol. I even cried listening to the eclipse soundtrack....I don't know how I will be when I see the film again as when I watched it before I wasn't pregnant and hubby said I would cry at "those men" (you can imagine the tone especially at Edward lol)

My hubby laughs so its very difficult, I have to keep pretending its just my eyes as luckily they do water a lot lol.

BroodyRhi · 10/12/2010 10:05

Am TTC and currently in 2ww and am to crying at everything....

I went into town and the christmas lights are now on ... cue blub
I was given free hot chocolate .... blub
They were collecting money for charity at the tube station .... blub

Have been known to be like this in past but not as bad as this!

Am also snapping and generally being horrible bitch lady to my DP. Got very upset last night that he gets to have a free breakfast and christmas party where as I stay at home with a hot bath and large glass of wine water.

tlise · 10/12/2010 10:11

I cried cos my hubby can have prawn cocktail at xmas and I can't and I am currently craving prawns :( well he didn't see why he shouldn't still have them!!

BroodyRhi · 10/12/2010 10:57

lol to prawns!

lots of my crying atm is about the 'unfairness' of him getting/doing stuff i cannot!

rocketleaf · 10/12/2010 12:18

tlise, i think you can have prawns in prawn cocktail. They are cooked and its only raw shell fish you should avoid. I was so pleased I found out I could still eat sushi the other day, any shop or restaurant sushi has to be frozen for 24 hours to kill off any nasties so is safe in pregnancy. Same with smoked salmon, the smoking process makes it safe to eat.

rocketleaf · 10/12/2010 12:20

see here, good info on what is safe:

tlise · 10/12/2010 14:41

Ooooh thanks Rocketleaf!! I wondered at the time cos I thought they were cooked, but wasn't sure if it meant they had to be cooked again, such as in soups paella etc, but I don't like them then cos they go all rubbery. Although if I can have them, how do I tell him after all the commotion I caused when I thought I couldn't lol.

My theory was, he wanted this baby therefore he should join in and what I can't have, then he shouldn't have. I thought that was fair not so bothered about the soft cheese he normally has cos I don't like it anyway teehee.

Rachy91 · 10/12/2010 14:44

cried last night when OH said he might go for a drink with his friend and i cant :(
then cried when he didnt text me then cried when he did!

rocketleaf · 10/12/2010 15:32

:o tlise, how many weeks are you? You could always tell him you've spoken to the mid wife and prawns are ok after such and such a time in the pregnancy (devious emoticon) Most blokes wouldn't bat an eyelid if you told them it was normal for you to grow another head. :o

Has anyone also become really clumsy? So far this week I have poured hot water over my hand filling a hot water bottle (luckily I was too impatient to wait for it to boil), broken a plate and poured peppercorns all over the floor filling the mill. If I didn't know better I'd think I was due on!
