I'm finding myself ridiculously emotional and sensitive again! I'm 30 weeks today and I've lost count over the last week the number of times I have, or almost have broken down in tears over something. Small things like the raspberries turning bad and not having them for my before bed cereal, and the new Apple Christmas commercial where the kids make their grandpa a photo with his dead wife; to bigger stresses like not having our bedroom or nursery finished, H spending too much on gifts for his kids and being way over budget in general... I feel like a big ball of nerves and tears at this point
@kper82 I feel you, girl! My husband commented about my increased tears recently because he is worried I am getting depressed. I told him I am not depressed, just tired, emotional, and super uncomfortable.
@mandk1233 Yes to all of those things. And I feel like a fool being overly emotional all the time so I try and hide it, but that just makes it worse! Being sleep deprived and hormonal is a terrible combo. Can't imagine how it'll be postnatal..
@kper82 hahaha with my first, I knew that the milk coming in can make you super emotional, but I wasn't ready for it I was weepy all day, and it got so bad in the evening that my hubby took the baby and sent me upstairs for a hot bath and alone time lol 😂
Add me to the highly emotional. That Apple commercial kills me. So does the movie Coco and most Christmas songs/books and really most children’s books.
It looks like all my weight gain is going to my legs. Could be some swelling too but I was horrified.

+1 to being super emotional! I started sobbing uncontrollably last night because I realized at some point (in the far away future) this baby will love someone else more than they love me...
@doodleoodle he is pretty awesome and it was much needed alone time lol ...I hope the emotions aren't as bad the second time around, but at least I know he is there to help when I need it.
I’ve been weepy too. My half sister sent me bibs for this baby for Christmas and I sobbed for a solid half hour and sent her a ridiculously long text message. Apparently I’m upset that second babies aren’t “celebrated” as much as our first. I weeped over the fact that the baby book has 2 (blank) pages to drop in shower things. DS’s book is jam packed with cards and love letters and my MIL even hired a professional photographer. This baby has 1 Amazon note in his- thinking of tearing these pages out...
@kper82 I think we should revive the “why my pregnant self is crying” thread. Today I started crying a little with feeling overwhelmed etc and then felt a little better...but just couldn’t stop crying! I felt so silly but it’s like my brain was telling me nope, not done yet!
@Swiftlet I had the same cry last night. Just couldn’t stop.
@doodleoodle toy story 3 gets me every time not pregnant. Pregnant me got up to do something in the other room at the end so my kids didn’t see me sobbing.
+1 on the emotional crying. Didn't sleep from 1am to 5:30am due to back pain and feeling wide away (husband SNORING!!!!) and at 3am I bawled my head off and declared "I'm never going to sleep ever again!" Also coming down with a could, the extremely sore throat hurts worse with crying. Which I do all the time. Jesus take the wheel.
@foreveronyourside oh no my husband snores sometimes too and I could just about suffocate him with a pillow even when not pregnant and having trouble sleeping!
So emotional. My mom has cancer and that plus holidays plus pregnancy plus H who is presently driving me crazy (probably a mix of justified on my part and also just hormones) has had me crying basically all weekend.
@optimism3 stay strong! Take some time for yourself this holiday season (even an hour or two a day will help you ground yourself!)
New symptom! Never had this with my first....spotting after sex (34 weeks ) ...it's not as scary as it is earlier in pregnancy, but it never makes you feel good to see ..thankfully it was just pink, and pretty much nothing this morning
I have been SUPER irritable for the last few weeks. Like every little thing that anyone does drives me to the edge. I'm glad I'm on my anxiety meds this time around because I can't imagine how much worse I would be without them. 😂
+1 for being SO emotional. My 6 year old is still going through this weird sleeping phase and I have to lay with her for a bit before she goes to sleep but every night while laying there I tear up thinking about how there is only 1 more month or so of JUST her. I am so nervous for the change the baby is going to bring to our family and don't want in any way for her to feel neglected or anything and I literally cry about it everynight. lol Damn hormones.
Well, I gave in and finally got some antibiotics for this sinus infection. I feel like someone punched me on my left side of my face, and I cannot take being sick anymore. I can't even remember the last time I've needed antibiotics (8 years ago???). I am thankful for that. Mostly just complaining and hoping the rest of you are feeling much better than I have been.
@huskervbfan I feel like I have been on more antibiotics this pregnancy than the rest of my life combined. The latest round is because I was developing mastitis. 😢
I think I need to try using Breathe Right strips. I can breathe through my nose fine all day but as soon as I lay down I can’t and have to start mouth breathing. H may kill me if I keep snoring!
@ibabyloveb87 🙋♀️ I think mine is a combination of not sleeping, having an insanely busy fall between work and school, and the last couple of days being pretty crazy.
ETA I am also on antibiotics for mastitis, so that could also be contributing.
@mandk1233 Oh I hope you feel better soon! Mastitis would really suck especially without baby helping to get things moving. I had NO idea you could develop that before the kiddo arrives, but it makes sense. On the bright side of things, only 5 weeks(approx) left!
@huskervbfan I didn't either. Thought maybe I had somehow managed a clogged duct, but then I had my OB look at it and she said it looked like I was developing mastitis. She told me that breast tissue is more susceptible to infection during these hormonal changes. I looked it up after and turns out that for whatever reason the hormonal changes make it more likely that debris will build up.
On the plus side, 3 days into my antibiotics and the pain, swelling, etc. is already gone. Here's hoping this means I don't get it again while breastfeeding. And, yes, 5 weeks tomorrow before this little one is due!! 🥰

If anybody wants a good cry I highly recommend watching Toy Story 3. The ending kills me no matter how many times I see it.
