Really silly one that I had to share!

I am working from home and have the rolling news on. I keep thinking about the Duchess giving birth and having those first cuddles with all those crowds outside that she must be able to hear. I feel so sorry for her. I know she 'signed up for this' but she is just a mum in labour.

It is bringing tears to my eyes! Pathetic I know Blush

I'm not really into the royals but I get your point. That is incredibly sad, never even thought of it that way :(

When I was 10 weeks pregnant (currently 21+2) I cried for two hours because my DP forgot to bring in cauliflower. I was absolutely inconsolable! Is that even a word? Away, after I'd calmed down, I went to turn on Family Guy and it had started half an hour early and I'd missed an episode. That set me right off again and I had to go to bed because I was so exhausted with the crying!

That's the daft thing, my usual perspective is that she knew she was marrying into the circus that is the Royals and has a very nice life indeed!

Love that story. The crying really is exhausting!!

She probably won't even notice the crowds tbh, she'll be too engrossed in her wee squishy newborn hopefully :)

I didn't weep because she went into labor, I weeped because she's another woman that's gone into labor and I haven't! :(

I said this earlier to hubby, poor woman, first baby and she has to just put on this brave face all the time and I wonder if she'll get that special alone time with her hubby and their first child.

If it makes u feel any better when pregnant with my son I had a total meltdown and weeped uncontrollably right in the middle of Burger King when I was given my order and it was just plain, no mustard, relish or anything, I just remember crying to hubby "but I really wanted gherkins!" Poor guy didn't know where to put himself, how embarrassing haha

i blubbed at the halifax advert last night - when they buy a house and then she's pregnant! Also welled up at the news this morning and again at the sight of a new baby in tesco! Hope this is a passing phase!

On way to work, trying desperately to stop myself gagging with sickness whilst driving, listened to the news and start blubbing!! I'm ridiculous, and then laughing about the fact I am gagging and crying.

Glad it's not just me! I don't remember being this emotional with DD. Mind you, I don't remember being this unwell, exhausted, spotty...

Good luck Lydia - hope the wait isn't too much longer!

I'm 38+2 and am crying at everything! Started crying last night as the cat scratched me (nothing serious) but DH showed no concern at all so I started crying that he didn't care! He just looking at me, said "You've snapped" and then started stroking my hair. At this point I was sitting with my head on my hands at the kitchen table bawling!

I'm currently my own worst enemy. I'm grumpy and snappy, then I get very upset because I'm worried other people are pissed off with me (for being grumpy and snapping at them). Spent a large portion of tonight crying because I told my friend I didn't want a full on baby shower and was worried I'd upset her.. Honestly I'm an emotional wreck.

Thanks Yoni

Still waiting and cried when William and Kate walked out with their baby from the hospial. I want to meet my baby boy so badly.
