Emotional

danandkam · September 2013

I have sat and cried all morning. I think mine is a mix of feeling miserable, lack of sleep, and realizing that I am down to a few days left with DD1 as the only child. Anyone else being a cry baby?

I cried last night because we were out of mandarin oranges. Your reasons are far more legitimate. It's your baby, and you can cry when you want to.

ETA: I do hope you have a more cheerful rest of today, however!

I cry like 4 times a day over nothing. I'm not sad, I feel fine! I'm sure it's just crazy hormones!

Amcdonnel1028 · September 2013

I cried at a near constant basis during first tri. It got a lot better during second tri. And now third tri is resembling first with almost every symptom.

Last night I ugly cried because I miss my mom. She lives in CA and won't be able to be here when I have Jr.......aaaaand now I'm tearing up again as I'm typing. Dammit!!!! My boyfriend was so sweet and supportive, which almost made me feel worse because both of his parents are dead, so he can't even talk to them, never mind see them. Sigh. Pregnancy needs to be done now.

I feel like it's first tri all over again too!

This is ALWAYS me...

...crying is a sign of weakness...whoa, flash back to when I was 5 and my brother said that and then pummeled me for being a crying baby.

SnoopyLuv · September 2013

No, I feel like an emotionless void. Fun stuff.

Crinita · September 2013

Yep, I'm outta control. I am trying to restrain myself but I am super hormonal and emotional. I was doing great sans anti-depressant in the 1st and 2nd trimesters, but now I am realizing that I will probably have to go right back on it as soon as the babes is born.

The worst is the anxiety and the obsessing over small things, which leads to feeling totally unnecessary amounts of despair. Even though I know this rationally, it is almost impossible to stop. Very frustrating. It is a bad cycle.

babyLOLO13 · September 2013

I'm not crying or going crazy. But my insomnia has been so bad lately and every nightly pee break (5-8 total per night) results in me cussing up a storm. So there's that.

"Goddamnit motherfuckin bladder piece of shit pee..." etc. etc..

I tell myself this every time I get up and want to punch something.

shelliescove3 · September 2013

I cried last night over spilled milk... But it was chocolate and it went all through the refrigerator... I also get emotional about being overwhelmed... Dd not potty trained, worried she won't like her little sister lol, over being pregnant and uncomfortable and terrified of what's to come lol.

I always say, "There's no crying in the kitchen!" I make myself follow this very strictly at work (not to say I don't let it out on occasion at home, but it's still rare).

"There's no crying in baseball! No crying!"

KerCo51 · September 2013

I cried for like 3 days straight last week when I found out that I need to have a c section. And the smallest thing would set me off. I am having my baby on Wednesday and I am having so many feelings of being overwhelmed... even though I am as prepared as I could be.

sfshorter · September 2013

Don't watch then end of Father of the Bride 2 like I am doing right now. I'm trying really hard not to burst into tears. I about killed DH then cried for two hours yesterday because he tried to tell me I couldn't have a cup of coffee.

LaceyV13 · September 2013

I just started crying in the middle of Walmart because my husband said I was moving to slow. Then in the car I bawled my eyes out the whole ride home and I'm still crying like an hour later. I am just so done being pregnant. I'm a miserable mess.

I bounce back and forth between crying and wanting to rip everyone's heads off. The hormones certainly don't help, but I'm an anxious mess lately, as we near delivery and I'm thinking constantly of my DD who was stillborn at 39 weeks last year. So I feel you on being an emotional wreck. I may just move into l&d because of how often I'm there now, between extra monitoring and my freak outs between appointments. The end of pregnancy is terrifying for me.

You are allowed to be emotional...everyone else needs to woman up! And weird internets hugs for you! >:D<

Mama2be12345 · September 2013

I was up for 3 hours last night stressing over tiny details about what I still needed to buy to prepare for the nursery. I had a wonderful baby shower yesterday with family and we are completing our registry together, and practically done anyway, but I'm a stressed out basket case anyways! Ah I just want to stop worrying about tiny things, I think I'm just realizing how much our lives are about to change and I can't turn my brain off! I agree time for pregnancy to be done, ready to just move on it the next part!

I thought that it was a good idea to watch step-mom this morning on HBO... Cried for a solid hour.

That is NEVER a good idea. One and done. I can never watch that movie again. Same with Marley and Me.

CousinVicki · September 2013

not really. except i did cry watching the duggars last week. so i guess it's starting lol

sweettwilight16 · September 2013

Perhaps we all need a group hug

I don't think I'm crying more. I do get emotional when I stop and think about things though- like when I was working on the nursery yesterday and was putting away all of the little outfits... :x

I'm definitely more irritable at times- like when people are stupid at work, it's a little harder to stay professional. I attribute that to just being uncomfortable and tired though.

knottied2a666e3e38a2a87 · September 2013

I cried in self pity after having lunch with a childless-by-choice friend Friday. And also in shame because I didn't have the nerve to bring up my hot topics with a potential pediatrician. But then I got a massage and it was better.

EmJ&B · September 2013

I'm not crying but I hate everyone. Lol

calibr8te · September 2013

I admit to crying at some pretty random stuff these days, but more often than not, my 'emotional' has gone completely the other way.

This is more my speed this past week:

Mae208 · September 2013

I cried the other day when my 2 year old accidentally head butted me during a fit. He saw that it hurt me and he tried to do it again on purpose and that hurt my feelings like you wouldn't believe!

LeaLea123 · September 2013

I cried in the car on the way to drop off DD at her dad's house because I felt like it was our last few minutes together with her being an only child. Just thinking about that makes me upset.

Fishfam4 · September 2013

I'm taking everything so personally right now. I've cried no less than four separate times today alone. I'm def going to need to start the antidepressants back up once LO is born, I can tell when I'm spiraling and the lack of sleep that I anticipate with a newborn will only exacerbate the problem. Today's drama has me wanting to not notify my family (parents and siblings) of LO's birth at all-inconsiderate as they were today. I'm hoping I grow up and forgive them before the birth because I know that is selfish but right now it seems like a viable option.

I'm feeling stabby at the moment. I jokingly asked my mom where my ab muscles went. I was seriously curious- do they get stretched out over everything, are they pushed up or down? She decides to interpret it her own way and tell me I don't have them because I haven't been working on them. Like I'm supposed to be doing situps while 8 months pregnant! And then she says "Maybe it will give you an incentive to get in better shape". Um, what? My doctors expect me to be 20-25 pounds below my pre-pregnancy weight after the baby is born, because of the weight I've lost from following the GD diet. I'm in the best shape of my life right now! That's no way to talk to a pregnant lady!

That's pretty messed up! Congrats on getting healthy but ya that's fucked up that your mom would say that to you now! Was she joking or just being mean spirited?

She's just a bitch. Her mom is the same way. I avoid my grandma when she comes to town because she constantly makes little comments like that. I think she thinks she's helping, offering "good" advice. I just hope I can break the cycle and not do the same to my daughter.

I'd probably avoid her too. You'll do fine. The first step in breaking the cycle is recognizing the problem!
