SOOOOO emotional lately...

I swear all of a sudden I began to get sooo emotional about EVERYTHING! I never experienced this with DD, like everything else! I cry for getting frustrated that I cry about stuff too. Anyone else going through this fabulous annoying side-effect?!

Yep like you, I cry for getting frustrated that I cry about stuff, then I cry cuz I think I'm going crazy because I'm crying. O the hormones, gotta love them.

I'll jump on the wagon with you guys!

I'll cry over something stupid. I'll cry cause I miss my SO. Then I'll get mad. then i'll go into hyperventilation crying mode, then i'll start laughing my a$$ off.  then i'll call a friend and tell them how crazy i am and laugh with them about it.

it's like pregnancy bipolar.

It is awful!!! Seriously, what is it about commercials on tv that make me wanna break down?! Or when my FI tries to console me, I do it more and then feel like an idiot... I am hoping these go away as soon as LO comes, but I know it will probably only be worse because I will be frustrated that DD will be with her bio-father and not with me... So much fun to look forward to!

Alot of people get the postpartum blues though. Some people even develop a more serious case of PP depression.

LOL I cried over an Allstate commercial once.

Why insurance commercials? I have done it several times (not with the gecko though, so that is a plus!). I watched an "Intervention" today.... BIG mistake!!! LOL

I've been crazy hormonal too.  I've cried for no reason so many times.  At least my two recent "attacks" have made more sense to me.  Our friends just had their baby and we were looking at pics online and that did it.  Their little girl is so adorable and it made me realize how close I'm getting! 

And I almost cried in the breastfeeding class when they passed out the baby dolls to go over positions.  But before I could I just laughed silently to myself and smiled pretty much the rest of the class.  I'm sure the nurse thinks I'm nuts!

Yes... I cry constantly now.  And once I start, I can't stop...every little thing will make me tear up. 

I cry because I'm happy. I cry because I'm uncomfortable.  I cry because my undies roll down under my belly!  I hope it lets up after the baby gets here, but I'm not holding my breath!

Yes i am guilty,i am so sensitive lately! I cry over anything. 2 days ago i cried because i couldn't find my keys which was due to another fabulous pg symptom (pg brain), they were actually left in the ignition of DH's truck!

Hi I am 31 weeks today...I am glad to hear that I am not the only one, because I have been having some serious meltdowns! I was trying to figure out if it was just from real things upsetting me or just hormones, and I think it's both! Getting married, inheriting a stepchild, and stuff that comes with inlaws, and a new baby on the way is alot to handle close to all at once after being single so many years. I find that I have a lot of worries going through my mind constantly, and when I get a surge of hormones it all comes out like a flood! I have worries of hurting people's feelings or offending them during the birth if I want privacy (such as his mom), how much does my husbands family expect us to be with them after the baby is born when I want to be alone with my new family and bond with my baby, can I handle his 8 year old son's visitations which already stress me out, when I am learning to be a new mother and want my privacy, will we be able to afford groceries this week.... those are just a few worries and I have had feelings of escaping and disappearing with no one knowing where I am at! When his son came over last, I had a complete emotional breakdown and cried all day and into the next day (in my bedroom alone of course) wondering if I made the best decisions being in this situation after being single forever! What helps is I have the sweetest most understanding loving husband. I still have all the same worries daily, but I dont breakdown every single day about them. Am I normal? Will things be okay? Yes I cry at weird things on tv! And I don't have many people to talk to. Can anyone relate or encourage me? I feel alone with all this sometimes. I never knew having in laws would be so stressful, do other people deal with this too?
