What's your absurd pregnant meltdown?

CoachMama 83 · June 2013

Allow me to set the scene. DH is in the bedroom, I am in our bathroom, having just gotten out of the shower. I happen to catch a peak at my naked body in the mirror. Begin meltdown.

Me: Omg!!!! (start sobbing)

DH: Are you okay?!?!

Me: (opening door) My boobs are hideous!!!!

DH: No baby, you're beautiful!

Me: Beautiful?! (Shakes enormous chesticles ferociously to & fro) I look like a fat Russian man! (Slams door and cries)

So there ya go. Hormones-1, Me-0. Now, please feel free to share your most ridiculous hormonal freak out so I feel less insane! Oh, and I apologize to any fat Russian men who were offended by this - I'm sure your titties are much sexier!

I just had a meltdown at work because my parents are visiting from CA for the first time in almost four years and they chose a restaurant my husband can't eat at because of severe peanut allergys. I broke down on the phone with them and started crying like crazy because I was stuck in the middle of the drama between my sister my parents and my husbands strong opinions and I couldn't make them all happy. My family and my coworkers all think I'm crazy now.

Oh, here's mine:

Driving alone from work, hear James Gandolfini has died on the radio, immediately burst into hysterical, gut-wrenching, wracking sobs.

Note: I do not, nor have I ever, watched The Sopranos. Nor have I ever seen a single movie he's in.

It's inexplicable.

I was watching Forrest Gump for the 1,100th time and bawled, hysterically, when Forrest and Jenny found each other in Washington DC... when she runs out in the water... And she's all like FORREST! And he's like JENNAY!

DH walked in on my sob fest, looked at the TV, looked at me, and walked away slowly.

I dropped my dog off at the groomer and cried for 30 minutes..

I picked him up 3 hours later and almost cried out of joy..

Alaws88 · June 2013

Me: OMG babe look at this! What is this?! Did I just pop a strech mark?

DH: looks like one

::cue sobbing mess meltdown. Even threw my body on the bed in the most dramatic way bawling::

DH: wait isn't that where your scar was? From when that dog bit you?

Me: oh.. Yeah. It's just my dog bite scar!! ::happy as can be::

..... This happened about a month ago. DH will never let me forget it lol

Ok...first....I love you, fat russian man and all. This made my day :Early on in pregnancy I had hidden away a chocolate peanut butter easter egg in the rice cakes. I waited almost a whole week before going to retrieve it and it was gone. I amnbsp;embarrassednbsp;at the range of emotions I wentnbsp;through...anger, sadness, loss, and then eventually the tears of selfpity. It's not like I could just run out and get another easter egg! Easter is OVER! WHO COULD DO THIS???It was truly anbsp;tragicnbsp;moment in my life.nbsp;

I LOVE that you hid them in the rice cakes. LOL

And that would be tragic, Reese eggs are the best Reese's of them all. I would have for sure had a meltdown

MannaPants · June 2013

I've had several! But I'll recount the most recent.
DH thinks it's very funny to tickle me as I'm extremely ticklish. Well, he tickled me so much I was crying, but then the crying turned into actual sobbing. Like, miserable, full-on, tears and snot sobbing. I have absolutely no idea why.

Mine was over ice cream. I wanted a smores blizzard from DQ and DH tried to take me to sonic instead since it was closer. Cue the tears!

Me: We should get coldstone
DH: You have a better chance of me stopping for a donut
Me: OH YEAH!!! A donut sounds awesome!! Dunkin' is right up the street!
**Dh takes another street and gets on the freeway.....I start to cry in the passenger seat**
DH: Oh do you really want one? Are you CRYING!?
Me: No *sniff* I'm not crying... *through lots of tears* 
Oh no!!  And crying over cravings is THE WORST because you feel like such a dumb little kid.  Which only makes you want comfort food EVEN MORE.
Yeah, I still haven't had my stupid Dunkin' Donuts. DH had the nerve to ask me what I was going to get from there, when we got home. I just death stared at him and walked away. 

Replace donut with soft serve ice cream from McDs about three weeks ago.

DH...oh, you were serious?...as he drives onto the interstate.

Me...you can assume that for the next six months I am NEVER kidding about food.

DH...hits the McDs as we exit the interstate.

Good save DH, good save.

dnt27 · June 2013

Here's mine....

Me: I want a DQ s'mores blizzard.

DH: You've had one everyday this week, dear.

Me: So what are you saying? starting to sob

DH: Honey if you really want one I'll go get it. Stop crying, you'll get wrinkles. he said this joking around to make me laugh

Me: doing the ugly cry and speaking in a broken voice inbetween gasps of air Now I'm really going to get wrinkles!

DH went and got me some DQ though! I was a hormonal drama queen.

ETA: Excuse the poor grammar, I'm mobile bumping.

I am desperately searching for a petite maternity cocktail/fancy dress for my z Tahoe shotgun wedding and I needed a size chart and Zulily wouldn't even let me BROWSE their stuff or read anything on their site without registering. Cue meltdown. My SO looked afraid. I was sobbing. He said, let's use my "junk"email address. Me: sob, no, sob,.it's the principle, sob, of the thing! I can be petite or I can be pregnant, but not both! Sob sob sob. Pretty pathetic.

I had a very similar situation with my last pregnancy! DH and I were flying with my MIL to NYC for a babymoon, and we were going to the opera so I needed some very formal clothes. I finally found a (non-maternity) dress that worked ... but I had no shoes. They needed to be formal AND walkable, and flats always hurt my wide feet, and my high-heeled boots were old and crappy looking ... I held it together while dress-hunting, but when I talked about the shoe situation with DH I found myself sobbing on the cell phone in front of the travel-size toiletries at target!

Yesterday MIL took my 14 mo old out for a walk, and four minutes later ... I almost melted down because I missed him!

I haven't had anything TOO bad yet but my two so far...

I was shopping with my mom and had asked her what size I should get something in. She thought about it and was like "eeehhhh .. I'm not sure". She didn't even say or mean it in a bad way. I walked away and went in a clothes aisle and tears fell. Lol. Laughed at myself later.

The 2nd time I had been craving a frozen lemonade from Panera Bread. The girl who makes the drinks knows I'm pregnant so she made it extra special, lemon slices in it and all. I'm walking out to the parking lot and what happens? It freakin falls to the ground!! I just looked at the ground like "DID YOU REALLY TAKE MY DRINK FROM ME!!!!????!!!!!!" Then my mom said I turned and gave her the pouty lips... She gave me her smoothie. Lol

None yet this pregnancy but my last pregnancy I went crazy on the pet smart vet front desk. My husband was deploying and I decided to fly to my parents for a few weeks. I found out I would need a note from the vet for my dog to be able to fly with me. I had just had a full physical and shots updated 48 hours prior so I went back to the vet to get the note. The lady at the desk told me they'd have to charge me for another visit and physical for the note. I told her that was unacceptable and asked to speak with the vet. She refused and told me I should have asked fir the note when I was there 2 days ago. I told her I didn't know I needed a note then and asked her if she would she like for me to get in my time machine and go back two days. Yeah, I was a little crazy.

Someone loves my inner (ok...outer) fat Russian man!!!!! You have made my WEEK! Lol

The one that will go down in history for my DH and I is my first meltdown. Driving home from a wedding out of town we were joking around, laughing, having a great time! Through my laughter I start saying "I'm gonna have to cry!" Hubs glances over at me like, "what?!" and then here come the water works! For no reason! It's full on ugly cry too and it lasted a good 15 minutes. My poor hubby is trying to ask, are you ok?! what's wrong?! All I can say is "nothing, I'm really happy! I just really had to cry!"

Momtothreelove · June 2013

I posted this a month or so ago but mine was a delimeat disaster! I asked DH to get items from grocery store and text him the list. I told him exactly how I wanted the ham cut, so it was shredded. He came home with the wafer, sat in the case ALL day nasty ham.
I initially swore him up and down, f bombs and all then I sobbed uncontrollably. The next morning we both laughed our butts off but it was a tough night!!
At least I know I'm friggin nuts!!!

Last night SO and I were watching Deadliest Catch and I cried on two separate occasions. One captain's feelings were really hurt about losing respect from his deck hand. I just kept saying "oh my gosh, look how sad he is! You can see it in his eyes! He's really hurt and angry but he doesn't wanna cry.." So I cry, cry, cry for him.
SO is like "yeah...he's sad"
And then on this other boat, there is a new guy and he was hired under the impression he'd get to do some boat driving.. Well he got his chance and he sucked at it. He was so nervous and scared. I was blushing uncontrollably for him. When the captain said "okay, you're done" he had to do the walk of shame and all the other deck hands who have been there for a long time were being real mean to him.
I was balling watching him hang his head and broom crab down. I just kept thinking "oh man, poor guy."
Waah wahhhhh waaaaaah!

I'm here lurking I was told November than it switched to December! First I must say I absolutely love this post.

I remember recently I was texting my BF and completely was a day off so he was at work. I went on google and saved this picture to my phone that said Never trust someone who takes hours to text you back! And sent it to him hours later he texts me back and im like SEE HOURS LATER MY POINT EXACTLY! He's like I'm at work today, did you forget what day it was. And than decided to look at the calendar and I realized I was wrong. I felt like such a freak!

SweetLaura286 · June 2013

Father's Day. Sobbed by myself in the middle of the card aisle. Couldn't stop crying just tried to hide it whenever someone walked by. I had to go the complete opposite of sappy on cards for DH and my amazing dad. So opposite that DH got a dog and baby poop joke from our dog and future baby!

cwl3530 · June 2013

I'm a big Tim Tebow fan (no judging lol) and had a total breakdown when he was picked up by the patriots and could not keep #15 lol. I told my husband that the player who already has that number should just "give it to Timmy" although looking back, I see how adsurb that sounds LOL.
