What stupid/irrational things have made you cry during pregnancy?

My all time classic emotsh moment was crying when the panda at Edinburgh zoo got pregnant last month.

Then there was remembering that a colleagues mum packed up a little lunch box of things she HAD to nibble on every hour during her morning sickness - the amount of love the mother had for her daughter to do that was overwhelming to me (at the time) lol.

If I'm in that mood where I need a good cry before I can get rationally on with the rest of my day, all I have to do is watch a youtube video of a flashmob! For some reason the build up and peek of the mob overwhelms me! Lol.

And if I'm in a freaked out tizzy about the enormity that's ahead of us, I just have to watch a youtube video of 'how to settle a crying baby' and I'm off! Completely overwhelmed in a bad kinda way. Lol.

What about you?

Poor Henry indeed :)
My sister actually walked in at the end of my crying and when I told her what was wrong with me she first almost pissed herself laughing then threatened to check if there was such a thing as domestic services to report me and have him removed from my care as I was abusing him bitch :)

About a week before I found out I was pregnant I made my dh complete a fb quiz on 'how many children will you have'. When his result was no children. I broke down in tears. I was wailing that he didn't really want children and we were only ttc to make me happy. Blush
I've been much calmer since. However the Caesar advert with the old man and the dog makes me cry.

Ahh Slide didn't you know - whatever pregnant ladies wear is cool, there's no rules and whatever you throw on automatically makes you look fabulous :)

Cried all the way through transformers 2. No idea why!

Miffy79 · 05/09/2014 13:33

Glad to know I'm not alone.. I blubbed yesterday as DH had used the last slice of Jarlsberg cheese, then had a full-on meltdown minutes later when I couldn't find the rice krispie squares.. Confused

Makemineapintofrioja · 05/09/2014 13:40

I was hysterical over Click a REALLY crap movie with Adam Sandler. It was a comedy Blush. I was crying so much I couldnt breathe.

I sobbed, actually sobbed, in Mothercare when the maternity clothes I liked had run out in my size. I walked out of the shop and couldn't even speak to my boyfriend through the tears.
I have cried sat in my car outside supermarkets as I've just felt too sick to face going in - usually turn round and drive home again.
I cried because I slashed up my legs shaving them because I couldn't reach properly over the bump.
I cried today because there was an old lady in Sainsbury's struggling with her trolley and I felt sad for her.
I've cried every time after leaving the midwife as I'm disappointed she doesn't seem bothered about me.

Yday, my DH ate half a chicken breast that I had put away to bring to work for my lunch. I cried for 40mins on my commute to work!!

saiyme09 · 06/09/2014 11:13

I cried in Marks and Spencer at the vast choice of maternity and nursing bras... Mainly crying at the fact that I didn't have a clue at what I was looking at

sidorek · 06/09/2014 13:24

the daftest one: while pregnant with dd I was watching `Doctors or so. At the breaktime they were usually running an add featuring Harvey the dog. one day, the add was not on... oh dear! the heavens broke open!

At 8mnths I cried walking along the street because I passed a really tall man. He looked so strong yet so vulnerable because he was different.

I cried at the food bank and Alfie on Eastenders begging the bank manager to lend him money. Also cried at the noise that Ewan the sheep made.
