I still cry at everything!

pb_bride · December 2012

I never used to cry much (if at all) before I got pg. During pg, I cried pretty easily but still under control, and I thought I'll be back at my normal self after LO is born.

NOT!

I cry even more these days! I cry when I sing lullaby to baby M. I cry when I read bedtime stories to him. I cry when I think about things we'll do together when he gets older. I cry when I think back to the day he was born. These are all happy tears, BTW, but I scare my DH b/c he doesn't know why on earth I'm crying so much (and he assumes me crying = me unhappy/upset).

Does it get better? I don't even recognize myself anymore!

It gets better! I was the same way. So emotional. I cried at everything, good and bad, my whole maternity leave. Once I started back to work I started being more me. I figured I would cry even worse once she started DC. But I ended up having a stomach virus and was so sick her first week, I was too busy trying not to vom that I didn't even cry about it. Anyway. It's totally normal and gets better soon. Now I'm mostly overwhelmed with how awesome E is and am so happy, but don't cry about it anymore.

It'll get better. I still cry at things I never would have, but I think that's part of being a momma!

It does get better, but I think becoming a mom makes you permanently more sensitive to most things baby related, especially when it comes to your own LO.

Like PPs said it does get better. All the stinkin hormonal changes. Plus its very consuming to be overjoyed with the LO you wanted so bad. All those emotions have no where to go but out. Lol

I'm a cry baby now. Anything can set me off. Tonight it was the last page of Guess how much I love you. Last week it was because my daughter threw up. I hope it gets better!

I don't think I cry as much as I did when I was pg and right after I had the kids but it didn't go away for me. I get emotional when reading certain books or thinking about big life events coming up in the future all of the time! I even kiss both of my kids (most) Thursdays at 12:20pm and Fridays at 5:24pm because those are the days/times they were born! My husband thinks I'm crazy! I was actually tearing up the other day watching some family/baby commercial on TV and DH looked at me and said, "Oh my God, you're not pregnant are you?" LoL. I think part of it is just being a mama!

I think I'm always prone to a good cry, but I think you probably haven't shed all your PP hormones yet. I'm sure you'll get less weepy in the next few months, especially once you are sleeping better again. But now that you are a parent I'm sure you'll just naturally be slightly more weepy than before.

It definately gets better but I am much more emotional now than I was before I had LO's.
