Emotional

AeL347AeL347
in 3rd Trimester

I thought I was doing great with my moods... but lately the littlest thing will set-off the waterworks.  After-the-fact I can just laugh at the silly things that upset me.  I am soo excited to meet baby... my DH & I are anxiously awaiting the little one's arrival... we are excited to see if it is a boy or girl. 

So, I am so happy and everything... but somedays I will just cry... and for a really long time.  My midwife said this is normal... but I definitely feel so abnormal!  Anyone else with me?  These hormones, moods, body changes, and playing "the waiting game" is just a lot to handle!

    I'm sorry!  I feel for you!  Every little thing makes me cry too!  My eyes are so puffy from crying last night!  I have cried everyday this week!  Its insane.  Everything is very overwhelming and not knowing what to expect is hard!  Even thinking about the baby being here makes me cry!  I'm so excited, scared, tired and stressed! 

    Try to do something fun and relaxing today or this weekend!

    I feel the same way too.  Our hormones are crazy and there is such a life changing thing about to happen to us.  I just feel overwhelmed sometimes.

    My midwife said the most meaningful thing to me... she said that pregnancy is the most empowering and vulnerable time in a woman's life... and that TOTALLY makes sense! It is just so different than I ever thought it would be. And I just feel bad for my DH because he tries to understand... but he really doesn't know what it is like. :)

    Oh you are totally not alone.  I cry all the time. And I know what you mean about being happy, but overwhelmed too.

    Actually the other night I actually cried after laughing hysterically at the Daily Show. It's like I was laughing and crying at the same time. That was freakin weird.

    The emotional rollercoaster is so hard, I can't stand it. Poor DH, he never knows how I'm gonna swing.

    For me trying to hold back makes it worse so I just decided not to fight it and go with it.

    Hang in there, I'm sure it will get better sooner or later.

    I don't THINK I've been super emotional...Maybe I should ask my DH.  He's the one who would be the subject of any mood swings.  No crying for me, but I've been sleeping so terribly at the end of the day I'm just a zombie - maybe I just don't have enough energy at the end of the day to be moody!  I feel for ya, though.  Maybe some pampering or relaxation will help get you out of that "funk"!
