Oh jeez, please tell me all this crying is normal

[McPhee]

I'm only 6 weeks and I feel like a women possessed

Really?? Is this me now

Hi hun,

It is highly normal it is the hormones getting to work. I cry quite often even at 5week + 3 days the other day I cried because I could not find my favourate socks.

Congrats!

I find it comes in waves! Some days I am very aware of how emotional I feel and other days I barely give it a thought!

Its also normal to cry at ridiculous things, theres a good thread on here of the stupidist thing you have cried over when pregnant!

Go and have a look, it should make you laugh and give you a break from the crying!

sadly yes.... the crying is normal. I think I might be slightly better now (20 weeks) but probably not. I cried this evening because the teddy I bought for my bubba when they are born has a teeny hole in one of its ears and I felt sorry for it.... the teddy, not my baby! Aren't hormones wonderful?!

Yesterday I cried because I lost the lid to the milk

Tonight I'm just crying because I'm overtired and my results never came back today to say whether I'm going to need to go to the EPU. Am feeling in limbo and a bit sorry for myself

Dont worry OP I work up at 2am this morning in tears over something that happened 5 yrs ago and don't know why. Made me feel down all day. Now crying again thinking about. Hormones have alot to answer for

I'm 37 weeks and I cry almost everyday.

Usually because my husband is being completely rational and it irritates me.

Yup, normal. I'm 30wks and sobbing because I'm having to have another sick day 2 days before all my leave starts. AND I've recieved a txt from SIL telling me her DD woke up and in her morning preamble, said I was her best friend. Think Spinal Tap, everything's been turned up to 11.
However, if you're feeling low with it continuously, uttlery overwhelmed and panicky, def. talk to your MW, or at least let them know so they can rule out antenatal depression.

The saturday night enetertainment in my house is how far I can get into x-factor without crying! Every year I sit tutting and deriding all of the sob stories - this year I'm crying with them. At least its providing my OH with something to laugh at....

Oeisha, I've been on citalopram for a number of yrs now following a real bad patch in my life. My dr doesn't want me to come off of it because of that very reason.

Cry count today is only 'one' so far today, and that was in the hairdressers because I was talking about the pregnancy.

Yep, hormones are raging and for me that means tears for no apparent reason. I'm 25 weeks and it's been like that from the beginning.

Oh yes McPhee, the crying is completely normal! I'm 38 weeks now, and have cried more in the last 9 months than I have in the rest of my life put together. In the early stages it was also accompanied by histrionics of some nature as I hated feeling out of control and had to have a "reason", but now I'm much more comfortable knowing that it is genuinely just hormones, and it usually passes fairly quickly. Sometimes I even set myself up, because I figure I'll have an outburst at some stage and it can be easier to handle when I know I'm being ludicrous. The absolute BEST for me is DIY SOS - happy endings are my complete undoing, so that show guarantees a flood Noah would appreciate! But I also cried at the presentation ceremony for the Rugby World Cup if that gives you any indication how crazy it can get! Initially DH was very disturbed and didn't handle his normally very sane/controlled wife turning into a sobbing mess for no apparent reason at all, so if you can, try let your partner know it isn't about him. :)

Oh good god, I've turned into a mess. I cried friday night cos hubby opened a bottle of beer and I couldn't have it.... I sobbed like a baby... it was actually hilarious. Afterwards I tried telling him that it's ok to drink it but I think I've ruined beer forever for him. He poured it down the sink.

I'm 19 weeks and I had been okay until the last few days when I've been crying loads. Today I was even crying and laughing at the same time as I knew I was being ridiculous!
