16 weeks pregnant and SO emotional... please tell me it's normal

[Nurse15]

As above really, I'm 16 + 1 today and SO emotional. In general I am not an emotional person but over the past few days I am feeling ridiculous about everything. Please tell me someone else feels the same and it will get better?!

Oh you are definitely not alone! I cried at a man walking down the street eating a cereal bar, because I thought he looked so lonely and I was never a crier before pregnancy. The hormones have made me go a bit crazy, but I'm 33 weeks now, and I can laugh at myself so it does get better! I think it's completely normal to have huge emotions, and rather strange if you weren't like it before. So definitely don't worry

God yes. I found dealing with my emotions really really difficult. I developed pregnancy paranoia about literally everything (baby not moving, DP cheating or leaving me, being gossiped about).
The first time I ever cried at pride of Britain was when I was pregnant. It gets easier a few months after birth

Thanks goodness - I'm glad I'm not alone. I sat in the city centre on a bench in the dark last night in tears because my friend who I was meeting after work wouldn't tell me where we where going to have dinner I think I'm having a slight meltdown!!

You are very definitely not alone!! I'm 22 weeks now and have been having crying fits for weeks. Last night's was because I scraped my very sore nipple with my pj top. Yes it hurt- but not that much! I'm hoping it'll stop before people other than my dh notice!

I was like this too! It stopped at about 6 months :)

Totally normal! Your hormones are all over the place

Hi. First time writing on something like this. I am 16 weeks with my first baby. Since yesterday I have been feeling really sad to the point I cry. I just woke up feeling like this. On the day I had a BBQ to go to at my fella's mums place. I wasn't in the mood to be around people as I felt really sad. Also which some people may find silly is that, there was a girl going who is pretty, which wouldn't normally bother me, but few months ago before I was pregnant we went to his family party and she was there first time I met her, my man was at the bar with me and he says alright to her while looking her up and down in this little black dress... that was the first time I had ever felt 'insecure' if u want to use that word. First time I ever saw him 'check out' another girl. I felt awful like I wasn't good enough or looked good enough. Before I always felt like he had eyes for me and no worries. (I know it's natural for everyone to look) but that made me feel so down. Anyway back to the point. So I woke up feeling sad then found out she was going to the BBQ which made me feel worse. I asked my man if we could leave b4 she arrives. But we didn't she got there half hour b4 I was sucking back tears when people were like congratulations how are you feeling. People telling me to loosen up. To smile. I couldn't as all I wanted to do was cry. We did leave but my boyfriend said I was selfish for only staying 2 and half hours. He said he can't help my insecurity. I said no but you could have tried to help me feel a bit better about the situation. (I feel like I'm blabbing on with no real point) but today I feel just as sad and cried about 4/5 times. My boyfriend doesn't understand that my hormones are everywhere and he said he doesn't want to understand, and that I will get every Sympton. I said no I haven't. He said I was like this b4 pregnancy, I wasn't. I swore on my life that I don't choose to feel like this. He doesn't even believe me and just said he doesn't want to understand. I said come yo my next midwife appointment and I will tell them how I'm feeling and you can listen. He said no I don't want to! Before I started feeling like this I said to my boyfriend how I feel we have got a lot closer and he said he felt the same. But now I feel shit, and feel I can't say. I sat next to him this morning watching telly and tears came out. He said why are you crying? I said I don't know I can't help it!

Yo!!! 💔💔 I know you posted this 3 years ago I hope you’re doing better. I read every word and wow. I hope you’re doing a lot better and I hope your pregnancy went okay. As for your boyfriend— I hope you kicked him to the curb indefinitely or until he seriously grew up. I would have left him immediately….. I just hope you know how terrible he treated you, how manipulative and selfish he actually was/probably still is. I know it’s not my business but I hurt for you after reading that. I hope you’re loving your best life loved cherished and happy. Peace 🧸🎀🧸

Typo: I hope your living your best life 🎀🙄🎀 lol
