Share your stories of ridiculous crying and make me feel better!

[musicposy]

I am 6 weeks pregnant with a very much wanted 3rd baby after 8 years of trying and much IVF expense. So I should be skipping over daisies singing happy songs!

The reality is I keep crying about how I want my normal life back (I don't, I would be devastated if this pregnancy didn't come off), and bursting into tears over stupid, stupid things.

Yesterday, I took my two girls to the ice rink where they have a skating lesson. DD1's lesson is always at a quarter to 9. I was sat upstairs in the cafe watching her down on the rink, thinking I might get a hot drink, when she starts signalling frantically for me to come down. I'm thinking "this better be good!" (because I'm an irritable cow at the moment), go down there, and she says can she have the lesson ticket now as her skating teacher has said she'll take her at a quarter to 8. Rather irrationally I say "but I wanted to come and watch your lesson at a quarter to 9, I want a drink now." DD1 says, well I have to go now, takes the lesson tickets and has her lesson. At which point I sat at the side of the rink and sobbed and sobbed and sobbed because I had wanted to watch her lesson at a quater to 9, not a quarter to 8. The other mothers were looking at me like I was a total, utter, head case, and no wonder! What a totally stupid thing to cry over. Later on I sat upstairs at the cafe and I still couldn't stop crying because my plans had been turned around.

So, come on, pregnant people. Share your stupid crying stories and make me feel better! Please tell me this is part of pregnancy and I'm not completely losing it....

im 11 wks with my 4th, and i cried at bardley in eastenders, twice one of them was a repeat, i have sat and cried at jeremy kyle last week, and cried my eyes out on asda last night, my husband was horrified and thought something was wrong. lol

I remember crying when one of my students told me to fuck off (I work in an EBD school), and another punched him full in the face whilst shouting 'She's fucking pregnant, you prick'.

I was just so touched

Tethersend!

Welling up now just reading through these threads.

I've been bawling my eyes out watching BBC news this morning about the women giving birth in Africa without proper help, and seeing a lady feeding her baby with a syringe almost made me miss my bus!

Musicposy you have my complete and utter sympathy/empathy - I am 36wks and a total hormonal crybaby - yesterday morning I cried about dessert island discs when the guest talked about her parents fighting for custody of her when she was a child. This morning I have been crying on and off about the fact that my poor overworked DH wants to play football on a day I want him to come and see my Mum. Thing is I'm not unhappy in a general sense - far from it. It's just everything reduces me to tears. I don't remember if it was like this in my last pregnancy or not. I wasn't like this in the middle trimester with this pregnancy but I was in the first trimester.....Good luck - have a good cry, let it all out...

You're not alone - I regularly sobbed my way through Gardeners World as the plants were so lovely. There was one where Carol Klein said that some flower or other reminded her of her late mother and that provoked that proper hiccuppy, snotty crying normally only exhibited by over-tired toddlers.

Loving this thread, I feel so normal ... I was 36 weeks with DD1 when I cried uncontrollably in a costa coffee with DH after I spilled my hot chocolate. My rationale was this was the last time we'd ever be able to sit in a coffee shop together and I'd ruined the experience by spilling my drink!

Being over emotional is really normal - especially in early pregnancy when you're already tired and getting used to your new physical state - I should know, TWICE I didn't even get halfway down my garden path without bursting into tears over nothing which led to me phoning into work sick!! I used to burst into tears over absolutely stupid things, and a friend of mine drove her husband to near despair when she was first pregnant, because the much-wanted pregnancy suddenly caused her to become depressed and tearful and he couldn't figure out why. Thank goodness the effect of all those hormones eventually wears off!

Thanks for the Daddy, my Daddy thing. I'm Welling up in the middle of work and having to hide behind my computer.

im 8 weeks with dc 2, and when my dd1 is dancing along to the birthday song on cebeebies i cry my eyes out!!

I realy cant explain it, its been like this since I 1st found out... I think its because its goung to be her 1st birthday soon, but shes to young to understand!

Completly ilogical I know!

(realy have to start to control myself before she thinks shes upsetting her ridiculus mum!)

Heh heh - 34 weeks and just moved house. Cried at nothing being right, the paint in the new place being tatty, not being able to find anything and not feeling at home yet.

Then cried at leaving an area DH and I liked for one we didn't know, worrying that we couldn't bring DC up in the countryside and feeling very homesick for the old stomping ground.

All of which would be semi-normal if the old place wasn't all of five miles away from the new one.

Tethersend I love the 'morals' involved in those situations-- Its not good to make a teacher cry but it is good to punch someone. I have worked with so many kids like that!

I cried at the end of an episode of Friends when Phoebe agreed to be her brothers surrogate...mind you, I had just been cornered by some junkie scum in my hall minutes before as I was bringing my washing in and was stressed and upset!

But on a funnier note...I sobbed at The Parent Trap (Hayley Mills NOT Linsey Loser!) cos it had a happy ending. And I cried last week cos my iPod battery died! In fact, I will randomly blub at just about anything these days!

P.S. Sorry, moominmarvellous, but the Eastenders liver episode was nothing special. The Bill have done it twice to date and done it bigger and better...mind you, The Bill has gone waaaaaay down hill in the past few years so both shows are pants!!!

I cried at Bradley in Eastenders, then this evening at poor little boy Simon's face in the last shot of Coronation Street this evening.

I quietly sobbed at playgroup last week because the leader sang a special happy birthday song to one of the girls who'd turned two. Other mothers thought I was a loopyloo. Then I cried because my boy did the correct actions to the songs in 'ringtime'. I think the others might suspect an early midlife crisis.

We moved house between embryo transfer and BFP, and during unpacking I came across a picture of my old dog as a puppy who died 14 years ago. As soon as I saw it I just sat on the floor and sobbed for hours.

Thankfully I have an understanding DH who just picked me up and hugged me.

I also sobbed like a baby when I found out one of the cats had peed on the box which contained my wedding dress and had stained it, but I feel totally justified in that episode of sobbing!

I am 17 weeks and cried this morning when a colleague offered to help me with something, which I took to mean he thought I was useless.

glastochick I think I would have cried at cat pee on my wedding dress even if I wasn't pregnant!!

I have just been sitting at my desk, hiding behind my computer and pretending I am really tired and think I have something in my eye...whilst taking roughly 2 and a half hours to read this thread, because i have been crying throughout!!
Not just because you all sound so lovely and have such caring DP's and DC's but also because I am not alone and do not have depression.
I AM NORMAL!!!![SAD]

Anyone got a tissue?

I am almost 30 weeks with DC2 and spent yesterday evening crying as I couldn't find the 'right' colour muslins for her and didn't want DD1 to feel the baby was going to steal hers

I just cried cos the cinema wouldn't let me book tickets

I cried when pg with DS, during the Dreamworks film, Spirit, about a wild horse. Esp the bit where he's swimming in a pond with his future gf pony!

So far, 12+3 weeks pg, and I've only cried at the odd moment in films, usually Disney type films.

I felt like crying when I had my scan today, and found out I'm having one baby when I hoped I was having twins... Does that count?!

I cried last night watching the Wonder of the Solar System - it was the solar eclipse and the northern lights, so beautiful I'm welling up now thinking about it

wow, love this thread its making me realise I am quite normal! Ive been doing manic laughing at mildly funny things which then turns unto floods of tears!

Dh told me to confess to crying over an egg custard. It didn't taste right & I felt sorry for the second one which I couldn't eat. Dh offered to eat it & I cried.
