Does the crying ever stop?

I'm a wreck every evening! An emotional, huffy, teary wreck and I literally can't stop it.

DH seems to be doing everything wrong(!) even though I'm sure he is isn't, and I feel so miserable!

We are house sitting for my parents for 3 weeks (1 more to go) but I just want to be in my own home! I actually think that isn't helping...plus I'm tired.

Is this a normal part of pregnancy or am I being way stupid/ridiculous/out of order/psycho bitch OTT?

Totally normal. Once they are born you then cry at anything on tv to do with children good or bad and baby animals Grin

Completely normal.

Not only do I get the tears but I get quite Jekyll and Hyde Sad this is my last pg as I can't cope with the emotion ness of it all!

Oh yes I'm screaming one minute and crying for a cuddle the next. At least now I can blame my hormones and sat I'm normal! Phew relief, we're all okay Grin

When I was pregnant with my son I literarily turned into a psycho overnight. . Did not stop crying/ stressing/ moaning for 9 months, I had very few physical symptoms but emotionally I was a wreck! Fell out with DH in middle of ASDA once & got the bus home instead of in the car with him coz I was so frustrated & angry. . Could look back on it all and laugh however am now 6 weeks pregnant again & the same feelings of psycho emotions are creeping back up!! Blame it on the hormones! You'll look back & laugh one day. .

Definitely normal - I've been a nightmare to live with I'm sure.

I'm over sensitive to everything, like I'm constantly looking to be put down so I can jump on it as proof that I'm as unattractive as I feel.

The temper for me came in the first 12 weeks, I was an absolute psycho, I used to fantasise about punching my partner in the face - really frightening.

After the first 3 months the anger dissipated but now I'm very teary. You'll be ok, we're all here for you to offload onto.

Completely normal. With dd1 I was extremely emotional - which was very strange as I'm usually quite emotionless! I couldn't look at any baby without crying, couldn't watch anything with a sad, or happy ending. It continued after baby was born - every time I looked at her for about a month I burst into tears (good tears). I would like to say I went back to normal but having a little one has made me a little more emotional than I was before.

Totally normal!! Reading these actually made me laugh. I remember just how I was when I was pg and just as abby said when my DD arrived I started crying about how much I loved her etc etc and now I've started crying about what if something happened to me and I missed her growing up etc etc!! Also watching OBEM sets me off everytime. Can't even watch GOSH and don't get me started on charity ads or Children in Need etc. I was bad before, now....
