Pregnant, crying at everything!

[Wigeon]

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 cry too but am also ridiculously insecure/suspicious.I saw a girl glance at our car today and dh looked her way (she wasnt particularly stunning) and i thought "hes having an affair with her,"luckily i tell him these things and we laugh but never had it before i think its cos i havent felt very nice in this pg got big quick and wear a big truss cos of spd,in fact ive said to dh so many times "ill show you im still gorgeous after i've had the baby during this pg that he now thinks im going to have a post preg affair haha

Haha, Wigeon. I think we were in the same room both crying away.

I cry all the time at work, which is embarrassing and my boss is finding it annoying. But we're trying to make it into a joke.

The other morning I cried on the bus reading a news story about how Nick Clegg had told his party they couldn't 'walk through the fire together' but had 'behaved with dignity'.

I feel like Linda from Love in a Cold Climate, crying over the 'little houseless match'.

Hi all, my best so far was when my husband ate a bite of my fish finger, was a tiny bite and I had 3 others but had spent so long deciding what I wanted to eat...

Am primary teacher and we are doing nativity play, I have cried at every rehearsal so far. Ds1 was in his first nativity this week and I cried when I saw his name in the programme.

When jimmy and flavia were voted out of strictly.

Also very much with you on the clumsiness front, my dh won't let me drink anything other than water in the lounge as I have spilt so much ribena and that always makes me cry too

Am a bit pathetic I think...

Rocketleaf - good plan, I like your thinking :D I am 22 weeks, and do have another scan next week, so assuming I see the mw, I could always ask her. I am due to see the community mw the week after anyway, so if I don't catch one I can catch the other

I'm really really clumsy. Mind acc to hubby I am anyway, but its usually only when he is around lol. But everything seems to slip through my fingers atm. putting baubles on the tree was fun, one for the tree, one for the floor and then trying to pick it up as well that was as bad lmao!

TheLizard - thats another one, I am hoping I manage to avoid the school play, its bad enough filling up when your own children are in it, when they aren't its even worse lol. Luckily I volunteer so I tend to miss most of the rehearsals lol.

I cried buckets last weekend. There was a trailer for the next Narnia film on the DVD we were watching. I said to DH,'Oh god. It'd better not make me cry the way The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe does.' Whereupon DH said, 'Is it the little mice gnawing at Aslan's ropes that sets you off?'

I promptly began howling and was inconsolable for about three hours.

awww Armi xx

its geting worse! cried at take that comming onto xfactor at the start, cried when matt was singing his winners song (dont even like him!), cried at the westlife advert, cried when i saw all bumps little clothes on the airer after id washed them then cried when i took a swig of organic milk and realised its disgusting! whats wrong with me tonight!?

Okay here's mine from today...

Coronation street

a lady was mean to me in work

-my sister was Mary in nativity and I never was and my child will probably be blonde so she won't get to be Mary either :(

rebecca on the xfactor

remembering rebecca singing 'change' in her first audition

BIL coming over for Xmas (hate him)

5 times imagining telling my mum that I'm pregnant whilst we walk the dogs on Xmas eve.

Very good! So far today I'm doing quite well, although did start to well up when I passed a hall where I could hear a group of mums and babies were singing "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" and shaking bells. .

I cried at everything when pregnant and assumed it would pass after pregnancy. DD is now 10 months and i still cry at everything. Mariah Carey All i want for Christmas seems to get me everytime at the moment, not great when walking round shopping

I cried my eyes out yesterday because there were little Irish dancers in the green balloon club Christmas song video and dd wants to do Irish dancing when she 'grows'.

I had a really good blub on the train home last night! I feel a bit of an idiot really and was very embarrassed, feel very sorry for the man sat next to me!!

I got on the train and went for this empty seat and the woman sat the other side went 'Oh I'm saving this for my friend', I was a bit surprised and went 'Oh marvellous' or something (probably sounded very sarcastic) and being clumsy (currently 28 weeks) and with large front bump turned the wrong way and barged straight into her friend who then accused me of pushing her out the way!! We then got wedged together in the aisle, I panicked and informed her very loudly that I was very pregnant and just wanted to get out of her way. I then burst into tears.... not good on the 5.15 out of Bromley South packed with commuters! I won't get that train again.

I still very dreadful about it now and keep crying everytime I think about it. :(

You poor thing Nat. But you do know you should have sat on the seat anyway, don't you? Saving seats on rush hour commuter trains isn't on.

I'm bawling at everything today - particularly this:

(It's the bit at the end when the mum hugs her kids... sob)

It's like a meteor shower of hormones in my body at the moment - all swooping and diving everywhere and leaving me an emotional wreck. I sobbed my way to the front of the queue in M&S on Saturday, mainly because I was too hot and it was busy and I couldn't work out how to cope with it...

During my last pregnancy I remember being in the car with my other half and S club came on to the radio 'reach for the stars'. I started singing, then sobbing because I thought it was about 'us'.

I hope nobody knows who I really am!!!!

Ha ha! Brilliant!

Well done fellow cry-ers!

I'm a teacher & 25 weeks and have spent most of this time in tears. I've been a bit worried, people say 'oh, it's your hormones' but I'm thinking 'really? I think it might just be me!'

But then I nearly cried at a brass band in town on saturday, and I'm starting to believe it might actually be the pregnancy!

Research has shown that crying reduces cortisol in the blood and is therefore an effective way of relieving stress. I presume it works for other hormones in excess too!

So come on girls, let's let it out!

Nat, very at both those women on your behalf. I hope you found another seat!

Nat, I'm appalled that they behaved like that, and also that no one else got up to offer you a seat, particularly once you got upset.

I keep crying at any old rubbish, but Christmas songs are doing very bad things to me at the moment, as is the sight of toddlers.

I seem to be over the crying and am just turning into an extremely scatty clumsy mess!! I even forgot to take my notes to my midwife appointment today. It's not like I needed to remember anything else! I did well up at the sound of the heartbeat (first time I've heard it!) but I think that is completely reasonable. :o

I cried last night over the fact that Jeff Buckley is dead. To be fair, I shouldn't be listening to songs like 'Lilac Wine' in an emotional state so it serves me right.

I nearly cried in a busy shop the other night as it was the first time I'd gone to look at any baby stuff and I suddenly felt completely overwhelmed and realised I didn't have a clue what I wanted/needed. I left, hobbled back to my car with hip pain, got home and burst into tears, poor DP didn't know what had happened. I've been told I'm not to go shopping on my own anymore :)

Rocketleaf - I also heard my baby's heartbeat for the first time today but the sonographer was so businesslike and short with me ('One baby. A heartbeat') that I was too taken aback to cry.

Ah I'm sorry about that Riddzy. I think sometimes they forget it isn't just a job to the person they are examining!! I hope you have a better experience at the next appointment (not that I want you to cry!)

Haha, thanks rocketleaf - it's probably just as well I'm not a sonographer, I'd probably cry at every scan, even if it was for kidney stones or something.

So it's not just me! My worst ones so far:-

I couldn't get my bike lock to close when stood outside work. Then made worse when two men walked straight past and sniggered at the 'weedy girl'
In the queue in Co-Op to buy pasta sauce because the queue was so long
In the car listening to Berlin's Take My Breath Away
Remembered how much I loved that song when I was young so downloaded to my iPod - guess what - howled like a baby in the kitchen listening to it.
Rolled out of bed too fast and thought my boobs were going to fall off/hit the floor

Best one - seeing 'Bumpy's' heartbeat today at the early pregnancy clinic after 6 days of bleeding. Then bawled properly when the midwife said she was learning to do early pregnancy ultrasound and this was the first one where baby was OK. Oh and nearly lost it when she gave me a printout of baby
