what is stupidest thing that set you off crying during pregnancy? Seriously sobbing at mo come and cheer me up!

[Thandeka]

Okay in last 24 hours I have been crying at everything including:

Gavin and stacey- his low sperm count.

My christmas party last night- a supply teacher had come along (very brave) and nobody was really talking to him so he looked lonely.

Getting home from Christmas party feeling a bit rubbish (was also my leaving do as am on mat leave now) to find DH in bed asleep and he had put all my bed stuff in spare room so I wouldn't disturb him- I was back at 10.30 (!) so I cried because I wanted a cuddle and felt sad about leaving work.

And now currently sat sobbing my eyes out because found out my mate from worked shagged the hottest most yummy staff member at our school (who we all lust after- but obv being happily married is a harmless crush) so now crying because I feel old and married and babified (am pretty much first one of my friends to have a baby) and I am missing the drunken shagging fun of christmas. And yes I know this is really stupid and irrational but I can't seem to stop crying! Help!

watching Kirstie Allsops Festive christmas (or whatever it was called) the other week, when she went into that school and made salt dough christmas shapes with the children. cried my eyes out!

This should go into Classics. PMSL at crying because Vanessa Hudgens is so pretty

When pg I tend to rediscover the teenage angsty sorrow of realization that we all will die some day (there is a Flaming Lips song with a lyric along those lines and it has me practically flinging myself off a cliff even thoug it's essentially a positive song). Torture self with thoughts of parents, DP, self, DCs etc dying comfortable and peaceful deaths after long and happy lives (I don't even get around to mentally approaching other scenarios, thank God)

Oh, except for the time when pg with DS, when I for some reason created a vivid mental picture of DP stuck on a flight about to crash and having to phone us from his mobile to say goodbye This dramatic storyline occurred to me during the short walk between Greggs the bakers and my office and had me in floods all the way.

Managed to throw pasta dinner (kindly cooked for me by my mum) all over my feet. Results as follows:

1. Warm feet.
2. Sense of failure (overwhelming).
3. Tears.

My mother is far more pragmatic than me. She scraped it all up, put it back on the plate and said "Eat it, the floor's clean."

...I was too busy sniffling to say "Yeah, sure, the floor's clean, but I'm not sure about my socks..."

Aahh this thread has made me laugh and cry!

Just before I found out I was pregnant this time (I'm 9wk tomorrow) I cried at the CBeebies bedtime tune, the one that goes 'Now it's time to say good night at the end of a lovely day'. It was the "We've had so much fun today, tomorrow's just a dream away" bit... I was sobbing my heart out for about 10mins! My 2yr old brought me a tissue, wiped my tears and said "Mummy, peez not cry now... Aww all better" which made me cry even more and DH just said "I think you're pregnant, or mad!" Did a test the next day and yep, was definately pregnant!

Not that it rules out the fact possibility that I am mad also...

I cried my eyes out after watching I Robot...I actually woke dh up at 3am the following morning sobbing my heart out about the robots in the containers...I think I was about 6 months pregnant at the time...dh still reminds me of it now...

I cried (no, sobbed) when I watched "Transformers" and Bumblebee was being beaten up. My husband still gets hysterics when he remembers me wailing "they're hurting Bumblebee!!!"

I'm new - my first post - hi all..

i was sobbing in the middle of waitrose when i thought DH had got fed up and abandoned me, he was choosing something behind a pillar and i couldn't find him for ages..

on holiday with the inlaws at 12 weeks i cried at dinner when the cheese board arrived and FIL asked me if i would like camembert. v embarassing.

at 8 weeks i had to pull over in the car as i was bawling my eyes out (to point of getting hiccups) when listening to radio programme on organ donation. A caller said re. his late grandson "if god had asked little johnny if he would die and let 5 others live using his organs of course he would have said yes..."

o no here i go again...

Jacksmama I did that and I wasn't even pregnant

There, there. Better? And welcome!!

I cry at everything and not pg. The latest was a lobster on a cookery show that had elastic bands round its claws, I couldn't stop thinking about its little antenna waving around and at how confused it would be and then they PLUNGED it into a vat of boiling water. I am actually tearing up at the thought of it. I am 40 years old ffs.

I was absolutely sobbing one day when pregnant with dd1, whilst listening to Barbara Dickson singing "Caravans." And then I proceeded to get drunk about a year after the birth and tell all my mates about it. I am still met with howls of "Carravaaannnsss!" When I go into certain houses.

We had a huge, enormous, huntsman spider in the living room last night.

DH had to deal with it by killing it really, as we had no way of getting rid of it, and I am basically borderline arachnophobic so couldn't possibly leave it.

Anyway, after he killed it, I sobbed and sobbed in case it had a little family at home that would now have Christmas without it.

And I HATE spiders. And I know they don't live in little family groups.

I'm even welling up now at the thought.

I welled up this morning watching the animation of Lost & Found and then again watching this amazing sand animation clip on Youtube Should I be worried?

cried this morning reading my breastfeeding after reduction book! Nothing in particular to trigger it- just the thought of breastfeeding seems to make me cry!

Allegrogirl I was in Plymouth Christmas shopping on Saturday when it started snowing and it was very picturesque.

On Monday I went shopping at Sainsbury's and I was absolutely shattered by the time I got to the checkout and SPD was killing me. There were Sea Cadets helping pack the shopping and I was so pleased that I didn't have to do it myself.

I thanked the young boy very much for helping me and put a couple of quid in his bucket. He wished me a Merry Christmas and as I walked off I started crying because he was such a helpful, polite young boy!!!

I actually trod on a christmas bauble that my 2 yr old dd2 had made me in playgroup last week. I didn't even know it was in the bag and my big foot went on the bag she brought home and left on the floor. I sobbed for ages thnking of her lovingly making this, frowning with concentration and covering it in glitter, making it all nice for mummy.. gulp

I'm new here, hello everyone!

11 weeks, and this morning I cried at the Today programme when they described how a steam train had come to the rescue of a stranded train in Kent during the snow...

So its great to realise I'm not alone.

I cried because DH said George Michael wasn't a real artist...

This is the thread that keeps on giving. I was telling DH that someone was crying at 'Goodbye Mog' and it was totally understandable because it's such a sad book. DH said, "What's 'Goodbye Mog' about?"
I started trying to tell him, then dissolved in to tears. On the bus....
He laughed, and gave me a hankie, and told me he'd tease me about this forever.
I'm crying NOW just thinking about 'Goodbye Mog' .... oh dear.

Today's teary episode was because I wanted liebkuchen and I couldn't find them in biscuit or cake aisle and I was really upset at the checkout. In the end DH had to go to morrisons for me to get me some then I nearly cried because he is so lovely!

This had me hysterical 3 days before my DD was born: watch it and weep.

Now I cry often because I have such lovely children. I hope it is hormones (DD2 is 9 weeks) and that I won't be snivelling forever...

If you think Goodbye Mog is sad, you should try Wibbly Pig's Big Brown Bear. I'm not even pregnant and it's heartbreaking

i am 7 or 8 weeks(not sure!) with my second, my dd loves mog stories and we have a few we read over and over. i had never heard of goodbye mog but that first line has me welling up now (at work) and it really doesnt help because 3 days ago i decided to give my dog away to my dad because he wants another to keep his puppy company and the 2 dogs adore each other (the pup sleeps on top of my dog). Me and dh will be looking for somewhere bigger to rent and may not be able to take her with us and i do not have enough time for her as it is, let alone with another baby to look after.

I stayed with my sis over xmas and my dog Dori stayed with my dad, when i asked him if he would take her he said yes, but then he said did i just want to leave her there and then (we were at a family party at the time) i sobbed and said i couldnt do it yet.

we got home day before yesterday and now Dori is ill. she has not eaten a thing, i even tried her with chicken pie and sardines. she has never, ever, ever turned down food before, in fact i struggle to stop her stealing and keeping her head out of the bin. she had a little drink of water and was sick and i am really worried because my dad had his dog put to sleep this summer because of a huge stomach tumour and she was just the same. she is really quiet and sad and just wants to be cuddled, really not herself at all. i am terrified that i will lose her and feel like it is my fault for wanting to give her away and if i start to cry now i might not stop.
