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

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!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I cried cause i was really really hungry and in my indecisive state I didn't know what I wanted, I'd napped through dinner and OH said he'd go and get me whatever I wanted, I wouldn't let him cause it was about 11 at night, which made me cry even more, ended up eating cold stodgy pasta through tears

I cried because I was microwaving something with some cling film on the top, and the cling film started to shrink a bit and I suddenly wondered about what it would be like if clingfilm felt pain.

I thought it was just me who burst into tears while pregnant - his thread is a real relief!

I cried at more than one NCT class and it was really embarrassing - I kept on having to explain that I was fine and just to ignore it as I couldn't control it.

I cried when I was on the pre-labour section of the labour ward. I was feeling really really really sick, then chundered up the most spectacular vom-fest ever seen. Dh held out a little cardboard bowl which only served as a futile minature shield and caused dh to be covered in spew, thespew to deflect back on to me, then as I continued spweing out at great force I covered the bed, curtains and floor. I felt so poorly and in pain because of the contractions I was sobbing my eyes out, and then howling with laughter, all while still chundering up, as dh wasx nearly pissing himself with laughter

cwtchontoast · 19/04/2013 23:44

Dolly Parton's 9-5 came on the radio and for some reason it made sob. I was in work, in front of customers too haha, how mortifying

cerealqueen · 20/04/2013 00:02

Dp said he could tune the remote control so the the tv would only show progammes he wanted to watch (joking of course) and I sobbed uncontrollably. It was the first of many crying fests.

poorbuthappy · 20/04/2013 00:09

I cried at I, Robot.
Yes in the cinema, I cried a bit.
Then I woke up Dh absolutely sobbing my heart out crying about the poor robots who had been left to rot.
Not my finest moment and every now and again Dh likes to remind me about it in public.

Chocolateporridge · 20/04/2013 11:43

I cried walking home from work one day and thinking about how delicious Twix's are! (I had a craving for Twix's :))

Reenypip · 20/04/2013 17:58

My partner putting odd matching pillow cases, bed sheet and duvet cover lol....

beginnings · 20/04/2013 18:34

That film Up that someone mentioned upthread. I went to see that with some friends in the cinema, only one of whom knew I'd had a MC three weeks before. We both sobbed from five mins in until the end of the film. Bless her - she also sobbed endlessly when DD finally arrived nearly three years later!

When pg with DD sobbed and sobbed as I thought her bedroom was too small first world problem. "I don't have a proper room for my baby - waiiiilllllll"

DH just sat at the end of our bed looking at me until I'd finished. I think he thought I was going mad. Her bedroom is perfect by the way.

Mawgatron · 20/04/2013 19:27

Woke my husband up at about 8 am during the Christmas run up crying because I wasn't going to be able to drink and all my friends would be having more fun than me.

Cried as my DH ate the 'wrong half' of a piece of cake.

Cried on an assistant head teacher at the school I work at because I couldn't get into my classroom over the Easter holidays due to building work that I wasn't aware of.

And I could go on...

BottleRed76 · 20/04/2013 19:34

Is there a thread for Pregnant and unreasonably angry at everything??? I think I would have a lot to add to that thread.

I do fill up regularly but it's usually when I'm thinking about my granddad passing away nearly a year to the day that I'm due and this being the first greatgrandchild he won't meet. Always gets me. I was never this bloody sentimental before I got pregnant.

JenJen1234567890 · 20/04/2013 19:55

I was in Ikea last week and while traipsing though the kids department I burst into tears because one of the nurseries that they have set up in there was so lovely!

Miggs28 · 20/04/2013 21:20

I cried today - massive body racking sobs because I was dizzy whilst in the shower & decided to sit on the bathroom floor until it subsided, then I tried to get off the floor and couldn't - queue devastation! Luckily DH came home shortly after and picked me up off the floor, I don't think he could quite work out why I was just sat there bawling my eyes out!

Jojobump1986 · 20/04/2013 21:35

My friend had a baby girl. I'm having a boy. Apparently this is the worst thing that could ever happen. I can't decide whether I'm upset because I wanted us to have boys together or because she's going to get to do all the 'cute' 'girly' things & I'm not. I always wanted 2 boys so I have no idea what I'm so bothered about! I vaguely like the idea of denim skirts & plaits on a toddler but the thought of teenage girls terrifies me! I don't want a girl. So why can't I stop crying?! I'm blatantly going to blub when I actually meet this new baby girl! Hopefully I can just pass it off as crazy pregnancy hormones & not admit to my friend that I'm disappointed she had a girl!

(Again, I really never wanted a girl! I always, always pictured myself with 2 boys. That's what I'll have. That's a good thing! Ridiculous hormones!)

Jojobump1986 · 20/04/2013 23:17

Yesterday it was that DH was being polite to a friend who dropped round briefly to return something just as we were supposed to be serving out dinner. I hid in a different room & sobbed because DH wouldn't just tell his best friend to go away... He was at the door for maybe 3 minutes max!

The day before I cried for nearly an hour after DS learnt to climb onto the coffee table, jumped up & down & ran off the edge into my arms. I had to run across the room to catch him. He thought it was hysterical, I burst into tears at the thought of what could've been & how I can't even keep one child safe so how will I cope with 2...! DH clearly thought I'd gone mad when I phoned him at work, barely coherent, to tell him that DS thought it was funny to stand on the coffee table! He's since moved it into a different room so I don't have to worry! Normally I'd be actively encouraging him to learn to climb/get down safely!

charlove · 21/04/2013 09:18

the first 5 mins of disneys tarzan film. i was overdue and thought a disney day would my mood up. silly me, didnt remember that in the first 5 mins of that film a baby gorilla gets eaten by a tiger then that same tiger gies and kills tarzans parents! i can barely remember the rest of the film as i was inconsolable for at least an hour.

CheerfulYank · 21/04/2013 10:19

I also cried because of DH's vile farting! It was proper sobbing, with "how could you doooooooo that!" involved.

I recently sat on the bathroom floor and cried until I hyperventilated about all the walls that aren't yet painted in my house.

I cried and cried and cried for Boston. :(

And recently a character I didn't even like died on the Walking Dead. I sobbed with my hands over my face like little kids do when they're hurt.

Hazeydays · 21/04/2013 10:38

Thank you so much ladies for cheering me up I thought I was the only one...

Friday I managed to cry for around 3 hours at work when I couldnt get the computer to behave, then when I found the milk was off back home and lastly howled like a baby when a guy on my bus home squished a bumble bee and i didnt know how his (the bumble bee not the guy) family might survive without him!

MrsLianeB · 21/04/2013 11:49

I hoovered the stairs at around 13 weeks and the hoover cut out as the filter was full just before the last step so I sat at the top of the stairs crying saying "I just needed to do 1 more step". DH was very supportive shouting at me from the bottom of the stairs saying "what the hell are you crying about?" and "Come downstairs and calm down!".
I cried this morning watching the start of the London Marathon on tele, and at the Hungarian shadow dancers on BGT last week.

RedlipsAndSlippers · 21/04/2013 11:49

Cried like a baby for an hour watching the last episode of Sparticus, then at the Macmillan advert that came on afterwards. Very nearly cried at work because a customer was a bit rude to another member of staff. Don't know why it bothered me so much, they're always rude!

SeriousStuff · 21/04/2013 12:40

Ladies, if you're feeling a bit weepy today - do NOT watch the London Marathon!

londonlivvy · 21/04/2013 13:18

DF and I went to see the Hunger Games when I was 8 weeks pregnant. In hindsight, it was a ridiculous idea. The entire premise of children being sacrificed to feed families is just hideous. I sobbed and sobbed. Cried so hard I could hardly breathe. DF kept saying "let's just leave" and me stammering back "no, we're here now, the images are in my head, we may as well see if it ends well or I'll have nightmares for weeks". It didn't end well, of course, and I did have nightmares.

Also sobbed at the Hovis ad. Never before have adverts reduced me to tears. Though now the baby is here I am still ridiculously sentimental and cry at every sad loss of a child.

abigboydidit · 21/04/2013 13:19

I waddled walked to a nearby cafe to get a coronation chicken sandwich that I had been craving for the entire morning. The guy in front of me ordered a coronation chicken salad roll and whilst his was being made up, I ordered mine..only to be told they had just run out of coronation chicken. I stood, stunned with disappointment for about 30 seconds, then started sobbing. The bloke in front of me hadn't heard me order and asked what was wrong. Poor guy looked properly concerned. All I could do was point a quivering finger at the paper bag he was holding and whimper "I wanted thaaaaaaaaaaaat" like a spoiled toddler.

He literally just handed it to me and backed out of the shop. Poor man

trulymadlydeeply · 21/04/2013 17:19

Hard as nails for the first two, but had to be sent home from school when 7 months pregnant with DC3 after there was a kids pushing each other incident in the lunch queue when I was on duty!
The head rang to see if I was OK. Very embarrassed ...
