Is this normal?

[fedupf1976]

I have had a rough two years. Lost 2 close family member's. I am now pregnant and I am really excited and happy about this.
However, I am finding myself much more teary than normal. A few things have happened recently which were annoying have really upset me. Currently in tears writing this due to most recent one.
Could be over tired too as I have had an emotional weekend visitig brother's grave.
Don't want to mention to midwife if this reaction is normal due to bereavements/pregnancy hormones but equally don't want to ignore if this could be the start of something else.
Any advice appreciated.

I cried over everything when first pregnant, if happy, I cried. If sad, I sobbed!

So completely normal welcome to emotional roller coaster that is motherhood :)

thanks modern. I have a bit more perspective this morning.

I cried about the decision on where to build the new Wembly Stadium when pg. I hate football!
However, in your situation, you need to let it out. It doesn't matter 'why' you cry, pg or not, if you're sad talk about it and a MW is as good as anyone. I constantly cried on my MW.

You sound very normal to me!

I cried describing the Christmas John Lewis advert to DH (he nearly wet himself laughing) - I was about 15 weeks pg. I cried last week (37 weeks pg) reading "The Best Daddy In The World" to my DDs (they looked bemused and asked why I was crying). I was nearly hysterical when I got fined £100 late filing penalty for my self assessment form in february (have since got this back on appeal though! :) )

I assume you're asking because you're worried it could be antenatal depression (apologies if this is not the case)? It sounds like you've had a rough time, so if you are actually feeling persistently down / not enjoying life etc, then I would suggest mentioning it to the mw/gp, as it would be better to deal with that, rather than hope it goes away on its own.

Just crying and over-reacting to things a bit is totally normal for pg women though!

hey fedup, hope you are feeling better this morning - it comes in waves so don't worry if your suddenly sobbing again.

if you think that it is getting too much then definitely speak to your MW. don't feel like you can't. they are there to help you with everything!!

Totally normal! There is light at the end of the tunnel though - my crying stopped in my second tri...
