I just burst into tears on midwife

[wildpoppy]

So embarrassed. Was asking me about birth of dd (nearly two years ago) and I said she had coughing fit on mucus on first night and was rushed away for suctioning and I was worried it would happen again as I thought she was just coughing and didn't notice anything was wrong. Said all this then burst into great sobs. Aaaaargh. Will I ever get over it? Will I now be marked down as emotionally unstable?

Doraemon - I heard that (Brothers in Arms, yes?) and got all emotional too. Keep thinking I'm not being a hormonal and weepy pregnant woman, then I see a puppy and start snivelling...

I spent most of the olympics crying everytime someone won their event, even the heats. When we went to the athletics at the paralympics, I cried just about being there and all the events and every long jump and every race and could hardly see my eyes were so swollen by the time we left.

I sobbed yesterday because I didn't want cheese on my tacos.

There was no cheese on my tacos.

I also sobbed bringing in the birthday cake to DS. DH was the only person in the room who knew I was pregnant but if no one else twigged Id be surprised!

How I'm going to keep this pg secret from work til my scan in two weeks I've no idea. They'll find me sobbing over the photocopier next!

I cried today at the Google Chrome advert with the lady who makes satchels - why?

Ooh! Crying at adverts! I cried at the ING advert where the mole won't look after the donkey's carrot. Actually makes me a bit weepy just thinking about it!

DH rolled over in bed and accidentally elbowed me in the forehead (it was pitch dark). It didn't hurt at all but i immediately burst into tears, "how could you do that, i haven't moved at all! i've been her for ages, you must have known i was here!"

Morning after a mentioned my "extreme over-reaction the night before" and DH said he felt like "a total monster, the worst man ever". :(

Got a very soviet style letter this morning informing me of my first appointment at the hospital next week. Did you bring/are you bringing your SOs to the first blood test appointment? I'm not the best with needles so would quite like someone making sure i get home okay, but i think this appointment will be incredibly boring for him... And he would need to take the afternoon off work.

I veer between weepy and madly argumentative. Joy.

After our missed miscarriage last year I cried so hard at the doctors that at the end of the appointment he ushered me the opposite way down the corridor, gave me a cuddle and put me out the fire exit!!!

Every time I have seen him since (to tell him we had fallen pregnant again!) i have cried. He said that he is starting to think it is him.

I just love my doctor.

bigw i laughed out loud at that! Poor donkey!

Having to hold go my laughter on the tube on the way to my midwife appt... Eek!!! Haven't cried on her yet
In fact I've been strangely unemotional during my pregnancy - usually I'm a massive cry baby. Thought I'd been doing ok til last night when my brother basically told me he didn't like the bday card I got him and wouldn't put it up (was a bit rude and he's got a 12 year old... But he says the f word in front of her for god's sake) then I got home to find my cat had brought in a mouse which was still alive but mortally wounded and was trying desperately to run whilst lying on it's side so ended up rolling around the kitchen. I sobbed my heart out. Then dh wanted to put it out of it's misery so I tried to hide from him go the garden in the dark holding the mouse in some tissue whilst wearing rubber gloves and snivelling loudly. Whatever must the neighbours think?! Getting a bit teary now thinking about the poor little thing

This morning I cried at a thread about thanking nice people for doing nice things.

I'm still :o at the donkey advert, though. That's priceless!

I feel slightly less unhinged reading this thread.

I cried because I saw a small rabbit waiting by the side of the road, and I was sure it would get run over when it tried to cross.

This thread has made me giggle (sorry).

I'm so glad I'm not pg, I was mental!

Iseethreadpeople felt like crying at how nice people were to you Restores my faith in human nature.

Some great chuckles on this thread too :o

• I would have cried at the mouse too :(

I'm a midwife and someone cries on me nearly every single shift. Often when I first meet them. Certainly withing an hour of starting work.

Mostly women having babies but sometimes midwives, healthcare assistants, Dr's or students.

Entirely normal.

Although I sometimes wonder if it's me
