Hormones?

[Babybrain2]

Hi, just needing a little reassurance I think.
I’ve been relatively emotional during this pregnancy so far (23+2 now) but no major mood swings, then this morning I drove to work, burst into tears and couldn’t get out of the car. I phoned in sick from the car park and sobbed all the way home! I have no idea what I’m crying about but I feel like my heart is broken, feel a little better since coming home but feel like an absolute nutter! Made up an excuse with work because felt that crying wasn’t a reasonable reason to not go in but just couldn’t face beinf around people. Worried my husband will think I’m weak and pathetic and just generally feeling really stupid! Is this normal? Also scared that baby will be affected by my emotions? FTM and up until now have been enjoying my pregnancy (choosing to forget the sickness of first trimester completely). Any advice on how to handle these emotional mood swings would be great!

No advice but I'm the same! 23+5 and I can cry at literally anything, one minute I'm happy as Larry next minute OH will say something harmless and I will take it to heart and go in a mood or start to cry! I just try to laugh it off now as I know it's not my usual self. I also hate socialising atm I am quite happy to sit at home on my own all day and watch tv not having to speak to anyone, I make plans then when the day comes I cancel because I just can't be bothered! Can't wait to get back to my normal self, good luck!

I'm 9 +2 and I've recently noticed a change in my hormones too. I cry easily and I never know why, I also get days where I just feel down and don't want to work either. I keep thinking of becoming a mother in August and it keeps me going. I'm sure it's just your hormones are all over the place xx

I am not a crier but when I was 22 weeks, I was laminating something at work and someone told me I had done it slightly wrong. I cried for an hour! 😂

I also cried at a ‘worlds wildest weather’ documentary. Hormones are weird!

Your baby will definitely not be affected by it, I would get on the sofa and try enjoy your day off work. Maybe try some chocolate!!

Hi I'm 28+1 and this has been me as well. I have sobbed all the way through the greatest showman at least twice, I cried because I forgot to give my son a bag of pasta for harvest festival and felt like the worst mum in the world and I got all hysterical because my daughter was a shepard in the nativity and I didn't want her to wear brown lol I also find sometimes I cry for no reason. It's perfectly normal and it does pass

I’m 20 weeks also cry at loads, have cried on the way to work multiple times for no reason perhaps you needed a rest? I also cry when I’m really exhausted x
