Share your tales of hormone induced melodrama with me

[rosewool]

And make me feel like less of an over dramatic pain in the backside

Just had a massive, sobbing, snotty nosed greet on poor dh's shoulder because I'm craving a really specific cake that we'd need to go on a 20hr round trip to get

just me then

That’s a bit odd OP!

I really tried not to for the hormonal wreck stereotype that I’m a tad skeptical of

But....

Any thing in the news child related - fighting tears. So I had to stop reading any kind of news for pregnancy.

It's only ever the last month or so I get so dramatic so I think it's probably lack of sleep as well tbh. And I don't think the heat has helped this time round either.

I'm the same with news too but I think just having kids has made seeing anything child related in the news a bit more upsetting because it's a little more personal I guess

I was about 11/12 weeks on holiday a few weeks ago and was sitting in a nice restaurant... A song came on the radio and I burst into tears!! Came from nowhere, I then started laughing at myself, we got a couple of funny looks but it's a good holiday story 😛

At five or six weeks I sobbed because OH had thrown out an old bag of rice that was past its best. I’d read the baby was the size of a grain of rice and went to go find some so I could hold it in my hand and marvel at it, only there was no rice. Burst into tears at not being able to hold a grain of rice.

A few weeks later he made me chilli and rice for dinner when I was too exhausted to move, I was so excited about it, only when he brought the plate over he’d mixed the chilli and rice together like a fucking lunatic. Who does that? It was the only rice and chilli we had in the house. I burst into tears and went into another room for some space cos I didn’t wanna get mad at him but could feel my anger rising 😂

I keep getting really upset with seagulls 😂

I have a big pond in my garden and after I go and feed my fish the seagulls swoop down and take their food. I’m frequently on the verge of tears at the amount of times I’ve had to keep going outside to shoo them away.

I just keep thinking my poor little fish 😂😂😂

@JemimaPuddlePeacock, omg my mil does that with chili, it seems mad to me as well 😂

Oh thank goodness, there's other people too

There was a Clydesdale bank ad on the tv last time I was pregnant that made me well up a little every time it came on. I still have no idea why - it was just some horses galloping across some pretty countryside

I was on the interview panel for a role in our team earlier this week and kept tearing up whenever the candidates gave really heartwarming examples of their work (I work in the charity sector so there were quite a few!). Really hope no-one noticed!

Oh and I also started crying watching GLOW (Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling) on Netflix earlier. It wasn’t even an emotional bit, they were just doing some wrestling 😂

Ha I burst into tears this week because I wanted chicken noodle soup and we didn’t have any. And even in the moment I knew that was a ludicrous reaction so I then started laughing at myself through the tears - I must have looked insane. My lovely husband didn’t say a word, gave me a hug and disappeared to the supermarket for the chicken noodle soup and some nice bread. He’s a keeper.

@JemimaPuddlePeacock howling

I cry at one born every minute every time I watch it, I cried watching my kids play because they looked happy, I cried because of so many daft reasons I love being pregnant

Haha some of these are great.

I burst into tears because I had got myself all comfortable in bed, switched the telly on and it had no signal! I had a full on sobbing session because it frustrated me so much. My lovely partner came through from the other room to fix it for me lol

Telling someone to 'learn to speak F'ing English' in Ikea. I just saw red when this lady 'stole' my empty trolley. When I approached her she just smiled and said 'no english'. This enraged me even further... completely totally unreasonably so as this wasn't in an English speaking country and as a non-native English speaker I know what it's like to not speak a language.

Wtf, hormones don’t make you into a racist! You told a lady to learn to speak fucking English in a country that isn’t even a native English speaking country?

fivebyfive2 what!? Why would anyone! It devastated me and the sight of it made me feel so sick!

anitagreen 😂 I know he’s a keeper cos he went and got more chilli and rice and remade it, only complaining a little bit 😂

This..since i had DS i can't even watch the news!

Also i remember when i was preg i read 'Three in a Bed". Then i went on to order 'Letting go as Children Grow ' by the same author and when i opened the package it came in, i just burst into tears quite spontaneously. I couldn't even read it for the first three years and when i did eventually read it, it wasn't upsetting at all and was actually quite interesting

I cried & cried watching a choreography for "bury a friend". It was in no way a beautiful ballet.

I cried tears of happiness when my dh let me have the last packet of space raider crisps in the house because a) I really wanted them and b) because he was such a thoughtful husband 😂

26 weeks along when I found my first group of giant angry stretch marks on top of an already giant angry scar I had... complete breakdown went and hid under the covers crying, DH tried to console me and tell me they didn't look too bad and I shouted at him, phoned my mum sobbing.

I've gone two rounds of ivf for this baby and fully knew I was going to get stretch marks and I'm normally never emotional but I've never felt so sensitive! Now two weeks later I just laugh it off as just one of them things.

@JemimaPuddlePeacock Bless him that's really sweet mine gets pissed off if I text him from another room and ask him to bring the fan down cause I get so hot lately, I can't ever see mine remaking dinner

@melissa1215 I did the same thing my dad saw my belly and said my god it looks like flames all over it I burst into tears and my partner had to tell me it was okay and they didn't look like flames 😂😂

I only recently passed my driving test, and I burst into tears trying to reverse out of my drive way on Tuesday! It was terrible

Oh I have had a couple!

DH asked if i wanted to go to the park with him and DS, I said no thank you and then sobbed that they went to the park without me for ages haha. Prettt much half an hour of crying. Also if I laugh too much (to the point where you cry a little) I am at real risk of it turning into a proper cry. It's happened several times now! So I can be happy but not TOO happy apparently
