Hiya, i'm nine weeks pregnant and way more emotional than i ever have been when pregnant before. I cry at the drop of a hat. I was feeling dreadful the other night and cried when d gave me a blanket. but the stupidest was last night, we were watching Gordan Ramseys kitchen nightmares, and i started sobbing when he told the chef that his meal was nice! I can't be alone... Any one?

watching Dumbo (I rarely cry, so this was a huge shock to me)

HuwEdwards · 15/11/2006 15:21

that's a lie, I never used to cry.

Since having DDs I never seem to be very far from tears at all (although obv, rarely blart)

When we got out of the car at Sainsburys and a group of carollers were singing 'In the bleak midwinter'

I was about 10 weeks pg with my first and dh got his first glimpse of what was to come...

PocketTasha · 15/11/2006 15:30

Oh dear... throwing away the banana... That's the sort of thing i'd do. Actually last time i was pregnant my dh came home from work and couldn't find our cordless phone. Eventually he phoned it with his mobile to find it. The ringing led to the kitchen where he found it in the fridge. . I cried when he found it cos he was laughing at me..

DH put too much milk in my cup of tea the other day, and I actually like milky tea, but this was just too much

I could still sob about it now...

I don't know about stupidest, but the funniest thing I have ever cried over whilst pg is this thread!! Especially chocolate queen and her rabbits!!

Thanks for that, was feeling a bit down today (20 wks pg) but that cheered me up no end!

PocketTasha · 15/11/2006 15:32

I need to make dh read this, as he thinks i'm just mental.

I cried the other day, because my dh's cell phone ran out of batteries and I thought he hung up on me. My 15 month old was with me, and he laughed because he thought it was funny so I cried more because I though my ds didn't love me either.

PocketTasha · 15/11/2006 15:33

i know what you mean doghouse. i get set of so easily and now this thread is making me emotional!

I cried when the song "wind beneath my wings" came on in the car on radio and had to make dh turn it off before the sobbing became uncontrollable!

My husband had a dental abscess and was a bit poorly with it over a w/e. When I went to work on the Monday one of the secretaries asked me how I was - I said 'I'm all right but my husband..' and then sobbed so much that I couldn't finish the sentence for about 10 minutes. Poor woman was convinced he must have died.

DP told me that his boss had to have his dog put down as he couldn't stand on his back legs, when his boss left the room the dog stood up for one last time and waged it's tail.
I cried for hours

Elibean · 15/11/2006 15:52

dh telling me I snored loudly one night

louii · 15/11/2006 15:56

The thing i remember crying about, does anyone remember the KFC ad with the bucket? It gets left outside in the rain, it gets kicked, then finally it gets impaled on railings as the family are inside eating out of the KFC bucket.

I used to bawl over the poor bucket, and yes my DP thought I was mental.

zippy34 · 15/11/2006 15:58

my mum helped us buy a new cooker. Dh made dinner the first night we had it, cooked with the burners far too high and trashed said cooker.

Cue floods from me as my mum "hadn't even got to see our new cooker and now it was trashed"

  1. Mum couldn't give a rat's arse about the cooker
  2. Cooker wasn't trashed - just very, very dirty
  3. It's a cooker!!!!

I never cry but I got even worse when dh nodded sagely after he'd got over the shock and mentioned "hormones" . And he didn't clean the cooker.

PocketTasha · 15/11/2006 15:59

oh louii i know the one you mean, and i can see why it made you cry.. Honestly i think our dh's could do with a dose of pregnancy hormone and see if they don't cry!

Would have known I was pregnant without the test as have recently been getting teary watching extreme makeover:home edition - I don't even WATCH it when I'm not pregnant. DH thinks I am barmy!

LadyOfTheFlowersIs1Baby1Bump · 15/11/2006 16:05

loads of stuff.
have cried at neighbours whilst pregnant!

thehairybabysmum · 15/11/2006 16:17

Ths time last year (ish) when about 20 weeks preg cried my heart out on and off for over a week because that racing horse Best Mate died...because it was a famous horse it was on the telly loads incl features of how upset the trainer was too. Even cried when i just saw the heading about it on the BBC webpage at work a few days later. I actually felt brokenhearted about it!!

(Did think 'good job im not pregnant' when i saw that desert orchid had died this week!)

PS...am not even slightly horsey (although admit to owning a bodywarmer of the snowboarding type) so wouldnt normally be affected by such things.

KathyMCMLXXII · 15/11/2006 16:17

Louii, I am laughing like a drain over you and the KFC bucket.

PocketTasha, I felt a bit emotional over Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares too last night, but then, I am also pregnant

trixymalixy · 15/11/2006 16:21

The Argos Xmas advert that's on at the moment where the dad climbs up in the stars to find his DS's Xmas wish .
