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?

I'm NOT pg and I cry at some of these things eg Panet earth, the bit on Shrek when Hallelulia starts playing etc etc. I never used to be this emotional before I had children

When I was pg, among many other incidents I remember blubbing at the chemists becuase I had convinced myself I had nits (despite having had no contact with children or anyone likely to have them)

Any westlife song - even the happy ones!

I sobbed hysterically at a good friends wedding - not in a proper wedding sniff way but in a funeral kind of out burst. Unfortunately due to the lay out of the church, I was the first person she saw as she walked up the aisle on her big day and I was only about 7 weeks so couldn't really explain. Just had to mumble something about her looking really lovely.

It did go after the first trimester though. And its a lot better than vomitting.

Absouloutly (sp) nothing.

When I was pg I could just burst into tears for no reason whatsoever. DH used to be so concerned, but I just couldnt explain what it was...wierd!

DH ate the last of the corn flakes

Oh yes Planet Earth. Those baby penguins, makes me want to cry now just thinking about it!

I signed up to give £3 a month to the WSPA after the advert with the bear that just paces around after it's been tortured; I literally sobbed down the phone!

And talking about Rabbits, Watership Down was on a few weeks ago. Omg I couldn't even get past the opening credits. Told DH I couldn't watch it through streaming tears 'cos I knew Hazel was going to die at the end...

And I cried when the Tesco Chemist refused to sell me some Piriton on a visit to Cardiff the other day (despite the NHS direct web site saying it was fine during pgy) after I'd been sneezing and itching the whole night through!

Matey Bubble Bath

No word of a lie. I was pregnant with DD and DH and I were in Tesco doing the shopping. I got to the bubble bath and just burst into tears for no apparent reason. DH was mortified ! You could see all the other shoppers looking at him and thinking 'What a b@stard, making a pregnant woman cry!'. Lol

kimi · 16/11/2006 14:00

must be a Tesco thing as i was in there last week and a very pregnent woman was stood at the sweet section sobbing as they did not have the ones she wanted had her hubby was promising to go to another tesco and get her some

Oh god, I've just nearly been in floods at a pictre of a very teary Britney Spears holding her baby in this weeks Now magazine, while I was having my lunch break in a very busy cafe. FGS!!!! I'm only 5 weeks gone! I'm not even a fan. Still, I think you'd have to be pretty hard hearted not to feel a bit sorry for the mad old bint.

I am sorry, but now I am ROFL at all thse

lapsedrunner · 16/11/2006 20:01

DS ia now 4 and I find I still cry really easily. Pre pregnancy I was a real hard nut, never cried at sad films etc.

Frenchsmallfry · 16/11/2006 20:31

PMSL at this thread, I am hoping that IT IS pregnancy hormones and not that most women are just Nuts.

I cried this moning because dd got snot on my jumper.

ilovedolly · 16/11/2006 20:37

my dh found me distraught after watching a doco on the Titanic disaster when pg - they had featured a story of a baby that drowned. I still well up when I think of it now: sniff! Prior to my pregnancy i would not have thought twice about it.

misstimms · 16/11/2006 21:56

Pregnancy just made a bad situation worse...as a child I was banned from watching lassie, the music to black beauty would induce a floodgate and once on a school trip to the cinema to watch Dead Poets Society I was handed a tissue from the chap in front and told (very nicely) to be quiet! Friends and family are sooo used to this by now, but even I felt I had to get a grip when I found the rejected phone in the first set of Carphone Warehouse ads would reduce me to tears of an epic proportion.....still I like a good blub!

clemsterdarcy · 16/11/2006 21:58

That you can only get Ben and Jerry's 'Coffee and Heath Bar Crunch' ice cream in the US.

And Caramacs in v short supply these days too!

clemsterdarcy · 16/11/2006 22:00

Infact I was so desperate for coffee ice cream with nuts during by pregnancy that I would go to the cinema to see anything with DH just cos they did coffee icecream there ...

one time I went and they wer out of nuts

i started blubbing

I took my own next timie - in a little tub

Don't know which situation embarrassed DH more -- tears or tuppaware?

Chandra · 16/11/2006 22:05

.... I cried at every single episode of Pet Rescue... now I feel like crying at the thought of watching such program.

graciemae · 16/11/2006 22:05

Compo from Last of the Summer Wine died when I was pg with first - I broke my heart and cried like my own grandad had died. I've never even liked the programme, where did that come from?!!

yorkshirepud · 16/11/2006 22:31

Every time I saw an old person. When SClub7 split up and released 'Goodbye'. Theme tune to Balamory. Ba la mo ry. Ba la mo ry.
