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....

I'm 5 weeks, and while making a food shopping list with my OH yesterday I burst into tears. Still no idea why, plus I really managed to freak him out!!

I cried like a fool the other day watching my DH play on the bed with DS.
Ds was giggling like mad, and it was just so perfect. I couldn't believe how lucky I am to have a lovely DH and two happy, healthy children.

"Lambing live" is killing me. 9 weeks pregnant, my husband has banned further viewing due to tears shed!

Bumpless · 09/03/2010 21:59

Going bananas on 2WW and this thread has had me howling with laughter! Love the cheese aisle, Michael Jackson buds and egg custard

Ozziegirly · 10/03/2010 00:48

I cried when I lost the key to our shed, and DH has just been totally fine about it, said "these things happen" and was completely reasonable.

Welled up at this thread "Daddy, my Daddy"(of course, only someone with a heart of stone wouldn't well up at that) and blackcurrant's Dh and squeezing her hand.

Then all the normal things; looking at baby clothes for the first time and realising that this is actually real, the many lovely things DH has said to me recently etc.

When pg I had several episodes.

In Sainsbo's looking at bubble bath and was overwhelmed by the choice. Forest Glade, Rose Fusions etc. I couldn't work out how I was going to choose and then how would I have a bubble bath without bubbles and how would I even look after a baby if I couldn't choose bath products? I sobbed so loudly they led me away to the café and bought tea to calm me down.

Also Sainsbo's, cried when a very old doddery bloke stood in the queue in front of me with only value soup and dog food in his basket. DH had to hold me back from adopting him.

And the film The Notebook. DH came home to find the film had finished hours ago and I was sitting in the dark sobbing like it was the end of the world.

Sobbing (admittedly with good reason) in soft play centre, before Christmas when East 17 "Stay Now" EACH TIME it came on the looped track.

Ds1 (3) said
" Mam, what's the matter with your face - its keep getting all crumpled? "

Nymphadora · 10/03/2010 08:18

Lol at adopting the old man!

SkaterGrrrrl · 10/03/2010 11:11

Just posted this on another thread actually but it applies here.

Watched The English Patient the other night and ended up sobbing snot into SkaterBoy's collar bawling "I - I - I - I don't want you to dieeeeee" while Kristen Scott Thomas died in the cave.

Oh god, little old men break my heart. Once saw an old man drop his icecream on the pavement when I was a student, I was in bits.

bluemonkey123 · 10/03/2010 13:39

Showofhands and SkaterGrrrrl, i have just cried at your two old men.
Can people please stop posting sad things, they are making me cry...

rotool · 10/03/2010 13:54

when I was pregnant with DS I cried because my boiled egg wasn't runny

1stTimeMum2B · 10/03/2010 14:08

I'm loving this thread!!

This morning I sobbed my heart out when 'Tie A Yellow Ribbon' came on the radio.

Last night I very nearly cried in Tescos because they didn't have the soup I wanted.

MPuppykin · 10/03/2010 15:34

I cried today when at the buther's because the elderly lady in front of me bought one bacon rasher and one lamb chop.

mamjo · 10/03/2010 16:44

The reasons for my melt downs today are....
There was a child on the telly that had had chicken pox.
I couldn't find my hairbrush.
I had my booking appointment. (several cries throughout the appointment)
I had to walk to work (less than a mile).
My husband just called to say that he had left work early and did I want him to clean the bathroom so I didn't have to.
The vending machine at work didn't have the cereal bar I wanted.
....and I'm sure there will be a few more by the end of the day - I am currently running at between 10 - 15 melt downs a day.

bluemonkey123 · 10/03/2010 16:55

Corey Haim died....I loved Lost Boys

MPuppykin · 10/03/2010 17:01

Cheese aisle is the definite winner. I have been crying on and off all day, and that made me giggle.

Bonners · 10/03/2010 17:11

My DP was home from work this week and went to the trouble of making a special chili recipe in the slow cooker for me when I got home. I hadn't told him that spicy food doesn't agree with me anymore so I spent the meal holding back tears because I hated my food and was feeling sorry for myself that he hadn't anticipated it and made me something nicer. He handled it remarkably well when I finally burst into sobs but his expression told me I was being koo-koo.

LittleWhiteWolf · 10/03/2010 17:38

Oh you guys are funny. When I was sat at home on Mat Leave feeling all hot and fat and bothered with no sign of DD putting in an appearance I did watch Waitress and bawl like a baby for hours off and on.

I can't really remember any other times. I cried when I bought a lamp for the nursery, got it home and then dropped it, breaking it, but thats justified, surely?

Ah well, DH'll be home in a minute, I'll ask him. He seems to have kept a tally of times I was emotional or hormonal

Nymphadora · 10/03/2010 18:53

I dropped my dairylea was today's strangest.
I also cried at Dr Who

Show me show me on cbeebies, because it is so nice and innocent and reminds me of my childhood (?!)

The dog on the Blue Cross advert. What if he doesn't get a home? Why won't anyone take him home?

Any advert that features abuse of animals and asking for money to prevent it.

Bondwife · 18/03/2010 13:31

Have had to stop reading the newspapers as I end up in tears everytime at the thought that people can be that evil to each other, animals and children.

Thought I would be brave and tried to read the Daily Mail website at 8am and am still crying about a burt rabbit and a starving tiger

Bondwife · 18/03/2010 13:32

Sorry that should read burnt rabbit (not one called Burt!)

Nymphadora · 18/03/2010 19:32

RaraAvis · 18/03/2010 19:39
