Tearful and irrational, anyone?

I am 31 + 2.
My lawn needs mowing (badly - have been neglectful of it since out lawnmower broke) and we have a pile of leaves that we need moving, as well as some weeds, in our outdoor dining area. I had booked someone to come and do it today, so that it could look reasonable for the New Year etc, but the guy has just called to cancel, and I cant find anyone to do it til Wed.
So I have spent the past hour crying because I really, really wanted it done today. It seemed symbolic of the new year, IYSWIM. DH has been nice, if baffled, and has recently gone (with some relief) to work. DS (22 months) is also a bit baffled and is playing quietly with his blocks. This never happens!! I still feel really upset, and KNOW I am being irrational, but my thought has spiralled into, Why is everything in my life a battle, Why is my luck so bad, blah blah.
Hormones? Or do I need a kick up the backside?
(In Oz, BTW, hence time of posting..)

Completely normal.

I'm 32 weeks today, and cry at the drop of a hat Blush

Glad I am not alone!! This afternoon I had some ugg boots on and DS giggled and went and got his so we could be "tins" (twins). This made me cry too!! (Although in a nicer way....)

Utterly, utterly normal - I hope, because I'm doing it to!

The most embarrassing thing happened yesterday. I'm 37+4 and moved into a new house four weeks ago after renting for years, so we didn't even have any furniture (the house is a tip, we don't have a proper bed yet or shelves or drawers or anywhere to unpack) and it is driving me up the wall.

The thing is, when I look at it calmly then everything is fine - we have all the baby stuff we need, we're waiting on furniture because we have ordered nice furniture, DP is working so hard to get everything sorted etc. But yesterday morning I had the hugest meltdown because we don't have a sodding chest of drawers, of all things, and was in floods of proper, sobbing tears.... and then the mw arrived for a home visit Blush.

Completely normal Smile

I'm 28+2 and am utterly sick of crying!

i cried twice yesterday and i never cry, i'm 32 wks. i really didnt want to go out last night but dp really wanted to and we bought the tickets earlier in the pregnancy. i cried while getting ready for no reason and then cried in the loo's when a white wine spritzer fell off a shelf on to me i stank like cheap wine for the rest of the night.
i love going out usually but not being able to dance or interact as usual just turned me in to a massive hormonal grump. was fine the second we stepped back in through the front door very weird.

NO! I'm not tearful and irrational!

Why would you say that? Why would you say such a thing? everybody thinks that about me, don't they? I know they do!

Normal! Put your feet up in front of the sofa with a cup of tea and watch awful tv for an hour. Everyone needs mooching time when pregnant. Be good to yourself today and get lots of cuddles.

I'm 20 weeks and spent a day at work last week feeling really teary and mopey as didn't want to be there (for no particular reason) and couldn't get a grip. Took me the whole day to get perspective back, even though I knew it was hormones. We're entitled though :)

I cried for 45 mins last week because I had forgotten to pack DH's joggers when we went to his dads for Christmas. All it meant was that he had to sit round in his jeans instead of slobbing out, but discovering this at 8.30am and him getting stressed at me for it was all too much bear...

patsdeadfrank · 02/01/2012 15:33

i am in a really awful frame of mind at the mo, cant seem to shake it just third trimester baby blues i suppose.

BeeBread · 02/01/2012 16:01

Me too.

Woke DH at 4am the other night, full on sobbing, because I couldn't sleep for thinking of how dirty the house was. I'd been awake for hours, mind awhirl, totally irrational and unlike me.

I blame hormones.
