Ridiculous Crying!

21 weeks pregnant and my hormones are ALL OVER THE PLACE! The Midwife asked how my emotions were and my reply was that although I am fine, I cry over everything.

Totally outing to the people in real life who have already pissed themselves laughing at my hormone induced blubbing, but so far I have cried to Niall Horan's "Slow Hands" on the radio and I've had to turn off Justin Timberlake's "Mirrors" whilst driving for fear of crashing due to lack of vision from tears. I've cried over the words in anniversary cards for my husband and already apologised for buying a shite one because I couldn't look anymore without dissolving into a pool of salt water in the shop. I cried over a picture of an alpaca and then at a Volvo ad in the cinema. I cried when first pregnant because my husband complained the pregnancy app was sending him emails that were hard to read due to poor formatting... I literally sobbed my heart out in the shower over that one.

I'm functioning well, upbeat and coping wonderfully but oh my god I just want to cry at anything that is sad or beautiful or cute.

Anyone else being totally ridiculous?

I'm 29 weeks. Whilst watching first episode of x factor I realised baby will likely be here before the final and sobbed and sobbed because I couldn't believe she'd be here so soon.

I cried because my husband kept farting.

I cry at songs literally all the time.

Haha.

Normal! Expect lots of crying after baby is born too! Obviously speak to your midwife if you’re worried, they’ll know what’s excessive.

Oh my god, If I cried at DH's farting I would never stop Grin

Haha songs make me cry a lot when pregnant. The more embarrassing one was ‘there once was an ugly duckling’ playing in the car for DD. So sad for that poor duckling Blush

I heard an old wives tale that increased blubbing/hormones is linked to having a girl but I'd be surprised it is was true. I mean it it totally true in my case Grin but I can't speak for everyone!

Dude I cry like you do and my last baby was born 11 months ago!

Flashpoints:
Castle on the Hill by Ed Sheeran
Lloyd’s bank ads
National anthems before sporting events. Lost my shit when the Welsh ladies were selling up before they played England a couple of weeks back.

IT NEVER ENDS.

I couldn't watch the news when I was pregnant because it was all so sad

I cried at washing hanging on the line in my garden as all the bathrobes were so beautiful

I went at songs, adverts, compliments,anything really

Yeah, doesn't take much to set me off these days either. The most awkward was when a funeral procession went past and o just started sobbing. The actual mourners must have wondered wtf was going on!

DannyWallace · 10/09/2018 14:31

My dog looked at me. He was really cute that I burst out crying and then cuddled him.
Then I cried more (full on bawling!) because I felt like I was leaving out my other dog.

I get it. I feel genuinely happy, but god I cry at everything!

AnguaUberwaldIronfoundersson · 10/09/2018 14:32

Oh god I’d forgot about those bastard Lloyd’s adverts! Those fucking horses. And the boy with Downs. And the pregnant woman. And the little girl. And the fucking background music! BASTARDS!

Yeah I am genuinely happy but for some reason I feel like United Utilities could legitimately use me as a source of water!

Honestly - at least you have the legit excuse do pregnancy. Time and time again I have to hold it right down as I’ll cry at cute things DD does, when she plays with DS, when she’s asleep after a stressful evening and looking like an angel...and the Lloyds ads.

Once again, it never ends.

Y'up. Here are the Crying Times!

I'd suggest shares in Kleenex... [other tissues manufacturers are available].
