Stupid things you have cried about during pregnancy. Please share and make me feel less silly!

[Fakebook]

I have just had a great big sob after watching the semi final of the Great British Bake off. Big tears and gasping for breath. Then half way through I started laughing at the stupidity of it all but the tears kept running. I'm not an overly emotional person. I get hormonal just before my period and normally get angry over things, not tearful. I can't believe I just cried over a baking programme! Never experienced this before in any of my other two pregnancies!

I peeled a banana once and put the banana in the bin and was left holding the skin. Inconsolable for a good 10 minutes until dp came home. In his wisdom he made me a cup of tea (after realising nothing was actually wrong!) instead of questioning why I was sooooo upset

Went to a friend's DCs' open evening in a big group. Al the kids were carrying flags of their home countries and they played Michael Jackson's 'we are the world'. I cried, and cried. And cried some more. All my friends moved away to a different table and I stood there for about 20 minutes howling about all the children in the whole world

The jacket potato man dared to have a day off. But I NEEDED a jacket potato. I sobbed as I stood in the place where his trailer would usually be, tears rolling down my ginormous bump.

Going way back in the here but - not pregnant yet, been watching Wallace and Gromit for a fair old time (I'm now 21 so we're talking...YEARS) and Gromit leaving home gets me everytime. I'm welling up NOW thinking about it.

Outside of the house I'm fairly normal, I promise

in the thread, sorry..

I can't blame pregnancy but I was Breastfeeding at the time so that was my excuse.

I took an injured hedgehog to the RSPCA centre, as it was in the middle of the road outside my house during the day, and obviously been knocked by a car.

I hung about to hear the vets verdict (it was only a baby, and i was hoping it could be saved) the vet came out to say how it's ribs were broken, had a smashed jaw and was missing an eye. I just stood there bawling, and was unable to complete the forms they asked me to complete.

It was put to sleep the next day as too poorly to operate. Poor little mite.

Someone at a pub told a story about a headless chicken named Bob, who lived for six months being fed with a eye dropper down its severed neck. I didn't even feel sad, I just couldn't stop the tears. I was mortified at being such a sap!

Oh dear poor poor little hedge hog! Sniff...

I just asked my DH what I cried at when I was pregnant with DD. His response "Everything". The following are particularly shameful excellent examples:

DH found me crying while peeling carrots. When he asked what was wrong I said "I don't know" and continued to sob.

After slaving away on a home-made quiche all day, which was supposed to be for dinner and lunch the next day as we were so skint, I managed to drop it on the floor while turning it around in the oven. It wasn't cooked enough to hold together so it ended up a big eggy mess on the floor. I was inconsolable.

However, my crowning glory, was crying on the escalator in Leicester Square tube as a harpist was playing My Heart Will Go On. I hate Celine Dion. DH was mortified.

My mum works as a carer and one if her colleagues who I had never met sent me a present just before I had DS. It was a pack of wipes and a bottle of baby bath. I was teetering on the edge as I didn't even know the woman, then my mum said "and you know she doesn't have 2 ha'pennies to rub together." I not only burst into tears sobbing "But it's just so nice of her", I also cried for a week every time I saw them! I could still cry now!

Isn't it lovely though how people you dont even know love a baby and send you presents? Having a baby has turned me into a sap

[WillYouDoTheFandango]

at HRmummies DP would've left me there if I'd cried at Celine Dion!

[nellyjelly]

Went to cinema and watched Brokeback Mountain. Sobbed. Couldn't see for tears and made a real show of myself.

[elsabel]

I did the whole crying then hysterically laughing thing, really freaked out my boyfriend! And it was all over a sausage!

[Bodicea]

cried in my car when i heard music from my uni days and realised I will never go clubbing in ibiza again

Fish pie. Or rather the fact that there was no fish pie left at the supermarket. I called DH from the supermarket & sobbed down the phone. Then I sobbed all the 20 minute walk home (through small town Ireland, so my Mum had already got 5 calls checking on me before I got home), sobbed again when I got home. Burst into tears again 2 weeks later when I was telling a friend the story and laughing at myself.

Also a breastfeeding story: was out with MIL, my parents, DH & DC at a tourist place. I'm dairy and egg free as DD2 who is still bf is allergic. There was nothing at the restaurant buffet that I could eat other than plain chips (which I'd ended up having to have for lunch the previous day for similar reasons). I burst into tears in the middle of the buffet and wailed "I'm not usually a fussy eater, I just want to be able to eat something" The manager took pity on me and dispatched a chef to make up a cheese free pizza while I stood in the middle of the restaurant sobbing

UP! When I was 6 weeks with DD, DH and I decided to have an early night and watch the film in bed. After the first 5 minutes I was in full blown sobs. These carried on, steadily, all the way through the film and for a full hour and a half afterwards. At around 1 hour after the film had ended and I was starting to rally a bit, DH asked what was wrong. Big mistake. "Sob..still..the...fil....waaaaaaaaaaa" and set me off again.
This time, I'm only 5 weeks but I've already found myself crying at the most ridiculous things including cbeebies (which wasn't intending to be sad either)

We were cat sitting while I was pregnant and when her owner came to pick her up I cried because I was convinced she wanted to stay with me.

Also when I was very heavily pregnant I dropped a glass and was inconsolable because I couldn't bend down to clear it up. I phoned DP who couldn't understand what I was saying through my sobbing and he raced home! Not my finest moment!

When I was a child I once drew a face on an onion and named it Mr Onion. After several weeks Mr Onion was past his best so he had to be thrown away. While pregnant, I couldn't see an onion without starting to cry about abandoning poor Mr Onion, despite it being more than 25 years previous. DP understandably thought I was absolutely bonkers!

[Bodicea]

ooh I forgot. rang husband up in hysterics as someone had thrown my pack of cheese slices out of the work fridge cos i forgot to put my name on it.

[FreckledLeopard]

When pregnant with DD I sobbed at the KitKat advert where the cartoon tortoise is stuck on his back and can't turn over. I was distraught that the poor tortoise was there wriggling endlessly away and still not being able to turn over. In my hormonal state I actually wrote an email complaining to the Advertising Standards Agency about cruelty to cartoon animals. They were quite sympathetic when they replied, clearly not wanting to upset a total loon!

[Fern123]

When pregnant with my DS I once cried because DH burnt toast and I hated the smell!

DS1 was due at Christmas. DH used to come home from work and find me sobbing in front of the TV - all those adverts they show at that time of year - NSPCC, Samaritans etc. Eventually he gently suggested that I only watched the BBC
