Ridiculous Things I Am Sad About

[Thankyouthankyoujellybean]

Ok, I'm 28 weeks and maybe the baby is having a growth spurt, because suddenly I am VERY SAD about ridiculous things.

Example: I keep reading about the benefits of aquanatal classes but I can't find any near me.

Example: my baby will have a winter birthday, not a summer birthday like her brothers (wtf?!)

Example: there's only enough chicken leftover from our roast to make sandwiches for the kids tomorrow, not me 😭

Anyone else becoming a ridiculous person thanks to hormones?!

Wait and see if you are one of the lucky ones wiht the baby blues when your baby is born. I cried because she might never have a sister, I cried because I hadn’t managed to give her the 220202 22 as a super cool birthdate, I cried because I couldn’t decide her name…. (I still wish she had a sister but the other ones are definitely just baby blues)

Hmm I meant that as lighthearted, my wait and see sounds a bit unkind actually. Please take that as lighthearted!

I’m not pregnant atm but when I was around 14 weeks pregnant with my DD, I seen a dead squirrel on the road from a bus window and cried for hours!

If anyone said 'How are you' to me in the last couple of months of my pregnancy with my youngest I would cry.

can you add salad to their chicken sarnies do you can take a few bits of chicken out and have it?

28 weeks was a tough one for me - everything was setting me off and I was having panic attacks in the night.

my iron was ridiculously low in the end so get that checked because I blame that haha!

@Codlingmoths haha, no offence taken! I had the day 3 blues with DS1 and it was truly dreadful. I was so sad that my little boy would grow up without a Dad because I was going to have to divorce him for being SO UTTERLY USELESS AND ANNOYING. I was also gutted that I was one day off giving him 27/07/17 as his birthday 😂

After my baby was born I cried at the 5 little ducks song and had to turn it off as I couldn't sit through mother ducks 4 more losses of her babies before they all came back...

@BillyZanesBigBoat I'm going to have to, aren't I? That's if I don't sneak down to the kitchen and eat it all now...

@Nomoreafterthisone properly laughing at this one

I'm only 23 weeks along and started crying in the middle of Clintons over a Christmas card with a picture of a mum and baby polar bear on it. To be clear, I wasn't crying over a mushy, heartfelt rhyming couplet inside the card. I was literally just crying over the cartoon bears. Wiped my eyes, got control of myself, continued browsing, only to be set off again by THE SAME CARD.

I welled up to this too with my firstborn!!

When I was pregnant I remembered the film 'dumbo' existed and cried in the middle of a shop thinking about it. I haven't even seen it in about 20 years!

I can laugh now about my pregnancy induced emotional instability but at the time it was very real, take it easy OP 😘

DH once had to gently lead me to the lounge while I sobbed and wailed because I'd found a dead bee in the dining room.

I can't remember now why that particular dead bee caused me such trauma. He asked me what was wrong and apparently all I could articulate through my sobs was "I thought it was a wasp..."

He was none the wiser and I can't explain.

When I was 30 ish weeks with my first. Hot summer day sitting In the garden.

The ice cream van arrived

The ice cream van music made me cry and cry and cry.

Still got an ice cream, waddling up to it in my flip flops crying

It drove away and a cried even more !!

When I was pregnant with my DS (who is now 18!), I was completely obsessed with the crayfish and avocado salad at Pret a Manger in Tottenham Court Road, and spent the entire morning at work looking forward to it every day. One day I had to take my lunch break later than usual, and by the time I got to Pret, they'd sold out of it. I was devastated! I remember standing at the till with tears streaming down my face and asking the man if he was absolutely sure they had definitely sold out, and could he just check that there weren't any in a stock room that they might have accidentally forgotten to put out on the shelf. He just shook his head and did a bit of an eye roll and served the person behind me. I was still crying when I got back to the office and then tried to explain to my bemused (male) boss what I was so upset about, and why I hadn't brought any lunch back with me.

The following year I was pregnant with DD. I was still on maternity leave with DS and so wasn't working in town anymore. With no Pret nearby, I thought it couldn't possibly happen again. But, unfortunately, my crazy pregnancy hormones had a mind of their own and I became fixated on M&S prawn and mayonnaise sandwiches instead. Of course, the inevitable happened - I got there too late one day, and they were sold out. I remember staring in disbelief at the empty shelf at M&S in Putney High Street for ages, and then absolutely sobbing! A lovely lady working there was so kind and sympathetic, even though she couldn't make a prawn and mayonnaise sandwich magically appear. She suggested I try Waitrose instead, which just made me cry even more for some reason!

Pregnancy hormones made me behave so irrationally, and though I knew how ridiculous I was being when it was happening, it didn't make any difference 

I SOBBED because Michael Caine’s character cried in a Batman film. Like was still crying an hour later. Only thing that would stop the crying was taking a nap. I was like a toddler 😂

@MariaMeringue this is giving me flashbacks to when my takeaway arrived with prawns instead of chicken 😭

These are all magnificent, thank you! I'm off to see the midwife and I when she asks how I'm feeling I'll have to think carefully about what I share!

The letters from family got me last night on I'm a Celeb and never had that before!
