Silly things that have made you cry? (Surely I can't be the only one?!)

[itsliz]

I'm not normally the soppy type but I think it's safe to say I've officially hit 'the crying stage' of pregnancy!

In the last week or so I've ended up in tears over:

• An advert on TV
• DP saying something nice to me (even though he's always nice!)
• Adorable baby clothes in Mothercare
• About 30 seconds of a TV programme that I hadn't even been watching, whilst flicking through channels
• Not being able to find a top that I was looking for
• Photos of cute animals on Facebook (DP came into the room and looked baffled as to why I was so upset. He ended up in fits of laughter when I tearfully explained that I was sad because I couldn't hug the animals...! I have no idea what came over me!)

So, let's cheer each other up - what's the weirdest, stupidest, most random thing you've found yourself crying over whilst pregnant?!

I cried at the start of the Lion King when I was about 3 months pregnant with DS.

It was just so beautiful

I'm only 9 weeks pregnant but have been affected by this already. Wept buckets at the end of Ghostbusters 2 the other week. The bit where the positive feeling of the usually cynical New Yorkers destroys the negative slime when they all start singing Auld Lang Syne... I'm about to go again! And I've seen this film about 5 times in the past without being affected at all by this. Hormones!

I have cried because my DP didn't want a MacDonald's, looking at tiles for the bathroom because i thought every tile i liked he hated on purpose.

Ghostbusters 2 has really made me chuckle!

I cry all the time at the moment. We're not alone ladies, everyone is at it...britneyofarabia.blogspot.ae/2013/07/crying-over-split-milkand-everything-in.html

I'm not pregnant, and I always cry at Ghostbusters 2.

After my 20 week scan I had to compulsively go in to every shop that sold baby / children clothes and I would sob over the little bathing suits with strawberries on them, little matching hi-viz jackets (I am having twins) for on their bikes (they're not even born yet, for crying out loud), little shoes etc. Luckily I live in an area that doesn't have a very good selection of shops but I think I would have even gotten in to Argos to weep over water slides. It got better after a couple of days.

I cried watching CSI last night. To be fair it was the episode where Warrick was killed.

I had a complete meltdown in the street yesterday when I trod on a snail. A lady actually crossed the street to make sure I was ok! DS just sat in his buggy and giggled while I tried not to die of embarrassment

I cried at the news last week that India will no longer be using telegrams!

Last pg I cried every time a Phil Collins/Genesis song came on the radio

This one I haven't felt teary about although I did cry after taking Mum to the airport the other day (she was visiting last week and probably won't visit again until October - I'm due any day now)

Last night i cried.cause DP dropped his toast on the floor. Proper hysterical crying. I triesd to cover it up with laughter but just ended uo crying more!

I cried when I dropped a piece of chicken on my dress!

A hearse drove past with those letter shaped flower wreaths spelling out the word 'Daddy'.

Most people would be a little bit sad at seeing this. I was bawling in the street!

I was about to open a new thread on this...
I'm in the office right now (starting maternity leave in 2 weeks) and I'm really trying hard to push tears back. I guess the reason is it's very warm here and I feel low blood pressure. can't see other reasons.
Since I'm pregnant I started getting moved whenever I saw crowds of people in the telly standing still during the national anthems

I have cried for so many different reasons, I was starting to think I had gone mad.

• because we had no burgers in the house and I really wanted one
• because the minions on dispicable me were just so cute and I couldn't have one haha.
• because DH was nice to me (this is not unusual)
• because I was tired but couldn't sleep
• best of all just because I did!! No idea why nothing set me off I just started crying!! This has happened more than once.

People don't tell u about this side of pregnancy do they. It's just left to be a shocking surprise haha. Glad to see its not just me though.

I actually cried at Emmerdale last night. I officially have a heart of stone, and don't cry at film or TV, and I don't even watch Emmerdale!

I posted this on a similar thread recently but I cried the other week because DH, who had offered to make dinner, asked whether I wanted it now or in half an hour. It was just too difficult a decision and I welled up and got all snuffly under the pressure. Ridiculous! He took matters into his own hands, fortunately and got it straight away.

with my pg it was because I was hungry but really didn't know what I wanted to eat, dp offered to go and get anything I wanted but there was literally nothing I wanted but I was so hungry
in my defence the hunger/not knowing what to eat is quite usual for me, it just doesn't usually end in so many tears.

also in the second week being home with our ds I pointed out that the ceaser advert where the dog follows the man is dead lovely until dp said oh I think it's sad cause they're going to what's obviously his wife's grave, that set me off for about half an hour!

I cried hysterically because dp saved me his last ,manky rolo, he kept it in the car for a whole 5 hour drive. Lol

Any inspiring type music set me off

Cried at the shop assistant in tesco as they had run out of mushroom sauce and I couldn't possibly go home without any

Also we had ants in the kitchen, dp put some stuff down to get rid of them....while I spent the afternoon wailing about how ants had feelings too and ehT about their poor families....

I was not too great at bring pregnant. Haha

I cried when Tony and Pat sold off their herd on the Archers.

I cried because the shower was the wrong temperature. Actually bawled. I think I scared dh.

I cried cos dh didn't ask me how I was feeling when he got in from work on Sunday and moaned he was hot instead 28+4 xx

I cried yesterday because my cocopops didn't turn the milk chocolatey...turns out I had actually poured rice crispies but I was hysterical and saying how am I supposed to look after a child when I can't make cereal work

Oh I'm so glad I started this thread now, feeling so much less pathetic for getting worked up over stupid things!

Lovemyprincess4eva, your crying episodes sound exactly like mine (I keep begging my DP to come to the cinema with me and watch Despicable Me 2, but I'm scared I'll end up crying for the same reason!)

I just cried at the IAMs ad with the cat and the boy
