Woke up this morning after a crap nights sleep and I keep crying.

I think I can deal with the acid reflux, the back ache, the sickness, but the crying non stop is hell.

please tell me its normal, I dont even know why Im crying.

Anyone cry for no reason or because they saw two people talk to each other on the telly!

Yes! I started crying this morning while I was doing the washing up! I just about managed to finish it then had to go back to bed for a bit, felt absolutely rotten! :(

is your DP/DH sympathic? Mine thinks there must be something wrong, like theres something wrong with me. I keep telling it is probably pregnancy hormones but I dont think he accepts it as the whole truth.

I cried recently because I trapped my fingers in the door DH was kinda laughing at me until I burst into tears and sobbed about how fed up I was with being sick every day for the past 8 weeks and counting. (relevance to trapping fingers??!!) I then started ranting about hating being tired and hating my job etc. etc. He was totally overwhelmed!

I have to fight back tears when watching tv or reading a book, especially when the subject is a happy one and not sad!

yeah why is it that happy stuff makes us cry now! I was never this emotional before.

Hes gone round his parents for the afternoon, I didnt want to go as just didnt feel right this morning and kinda knew the crying was coming. Hes just rung me asking if i was alright said yes then started crying. He said you still emotional?

Made me cry more, hes not coming home though untill later. Which makes me cry more now, I hate being in the house by myself when pregnant. I should have said something to him but I dont like to be selfish.

Im just a mess at the moment, I dont feel like me at all.

I don't have a partner or husband, which may be one of the reasons I'm more anxious (although I'm the type of person who gets anxious anyway).

I just went out for a walk and seeing all the litter on the streets made me start to stress about bringing a baby into such a horrible world, and I could barely get in the door before I started blubbing again. It was just a couple of coke cans and crisp packets, but I'm blowing everything out of proportion if I'm not careful at the moment.

I was fine yesterday, so fingers crossed I'll be fine tomorrow too... Have you been crying other days too, greenzebra, or is it brought on by lack of sleep do you think?

I think its lack of sleep, or just the hormones, or the overwhelming thought of having a baby. Not sure. Im not depressed but you know its not nice.

Poor you having to go through this yourself, probably is why everything a bit to much. Im crying now for you, how stupid is that!

I have to be careful this doesnt turn into anger at my dh though, as I have just been on facebook and hes posted that hes bought beer! So I might have to put up with a drunkish dh later. I hope not it might tip me over the edge tonight.

I love him dearly but sometimes he is so easily led by his family into leaving me at home when Im not well or not right. He thinks a couple of phonecalls is ok (well at least he phones now)

Then he gets drunk with them and I have to deal with the aftermath, if I look slightly upset when he gets in he thinks Im having ago at him. We have an arguement then he sobers up a bit and I have to put up with the Im sorry baby Im a twat but I dont want to be rude to them and not join in speech for the next day.

Aw, I feel kind of touched about that! hope your dh takes it easy on the drink and you have a good evening :) I think I'm going to make a cake, as baking always cheers me up, and I can take it into work tomorrow so I don't end up scoffing it all myself.

When I start crying all day it is a sure sign I need more sleep. I would tuck yourself in bed and hopefully when you get up DH will be home and you will fell better.

G1nger · 03/04/2011 17:41

I associate it with tiredness too. Not always, mind... I'm definitely more emotional than I should be when I've had a lot of sleep, too.

RhiRhi123 · 03/04/2011 17:46

I've got a bit better now but used to cry a lot at first. I was so exhausted and fed up of being sick i used to just burst into tears feeling sorry for myself. Lucky for me my DH was very sympathetic and used to just tuck me up in bed and do himself dinner. I still get like it a bit now if i'm tired (34 weeks). Hope u feel better :)

nomoreheels · 03/04/2011 19:22

I've been in tears since yesterday on & off, I hate it. Got 4 hours' sleep (not in a row either) due to stupid neighbour's party, was in foul mood this morning.

Then I had to cook promised meal for MIL mother's day visit, a really nice chicken & leek pie. I had a big bowl of chicken scraps for the cats & was putting it in the fridge when my stupid pregnant butterfingers let it slip & it exploded all over the (already messy) kitchen. DP heard & came in to clean it up while I stood there crying my eyes out. :(

my neice told hubby today that she wished that she had a magic chair so that could instantly send us to see her more often this afternoon. she is in durham and we are in birmingham and dont see her very often. that makes me feel very sad. i feel like i am lettin her and her baby sister down to be honest.

also i keep blubbering everytime that i get a scan or a doppler picks up babys heartbeat. i feel a little bit of idiot when the midwife asks me if i'm aalright because i am about to cry.

kampakat · 03/04/2011 19:47

Aren't hormones just great!?

We go from being strong minded normal human beings to emotional wrecks for sometimes little or no reason.

Today at work i had a really arsey customer complaining about our policy of charging 25p to use a card for any transactions under £10.

I work in a small independant village shop and I made it clear that i was not the person who makes the rules but she was really bloody nasty and walked out muttering under her breath about how she lived locally and she expected to be treated better than this. Cue; floods of uncontrollable tears!!!

Am 28 weeks (and 35 years old!!) - I didn't half feel stupid as I was still blatantly snivelling when the next customer came up to the counter

I got home and told DH all about it - he was so bloomin sympathetic about it I started crying again - seriously you can win!!

LilPud · 03/04/2011 20:10

I just swing from rage to tears to hunger to tired and back again - round and round. Nobody knows what's next and that includes me - it's a nightmare And if my bloody husband say 'what's wrong?' one more time I might be a widow soon.

Apparently this all calms down by week 13-14, just hope he can survive that long! (3/4 more weeks)

The day before yesterday I found myself crying at the adverts, I was laughing at myself at the same time haha
