Clicky Post- please settle a debate with my husband

twobluelines · November 2013

Tonight my husband and I little spat. In the middle of it I started to cry. My husband looked at me exasperated and told me that I crying to emotionally blackmail him into getting my own way (which by then was that I wanted to eat dinner because I was pregnant-starving). I am trying to convince him that pregnancy includes crying. ... he challenged me to make a poll. So ladies: anyone else cry while pregnant?

laowaigringa · November 2013

Sorry, I haven't cried at all yet. But I'm not a crier anyway. My SIL said that she would periodically burst into tears for no reason while she was pregnant, though - but she's more of a crier normally. So I don't think that helps at all, but I would say that I would not think it strange or unusual for someone to cry while pregnant. You can blame hormones for everything!

AnnikaD20 · November 2013

Crying went from a somewhat rare (maybe every few months?) occurrence to something that happens almost daily. I cried 3 times today. Having no control over my emotions is something that I hate about pregnancy.

ETA: I cried this morning because the thermostat was set too high. This is a straightforward problem that could have been resolved in 30 seconds, but I went ahead and cried about it anyway.

notthecheat · November 2013

I cry when I'm extremely sad, mad, frustrated- basically when I'm overstressed. Pregnancy has very much lowered my stress tolerance level. Result? More crying.

tesskerr · November 2013

I never cry usually. I cried about 4 times today.

OSUWifey09 · November 2013

I'm a pretty emotional person to begin with, but pregnancy makes everything more heightened for me. I don't cry at the drop of a hat, but if I'm stressed out or upset, I'm now much more likely to cry than to not.

Tylynngrace · November 2013

I never used to cry but pregnancy and now post partum depression have cause crying fits at least twice a day.

nolagal79 · November 2013

I never cry - but since being pregnant it's a daily occurrence. Over what you ask? Well yesterday, it was caused by reading a baby book, Friday morning it was caused by catching a red light on my way to work. Ugh - I hate not being in control of my emotions!

sugarland726 · November 2013

Sorry Mr. BlueLines, crying is a normal occurrence in pregnancy, even for things that may seem to not need crying over. But what I don't understand is the argument over her wanting to eat. She's hungry...so she should eat. Why fight about it? It's not like it really affects you, right?

susieandmarty · November 2013

Whenever Dh and I argue now - usually small things like what's fir dinner or picking up around the house I bust into tears. Sometimes they are ugly cries. He gets so frustrated by them and so do I.

Shannahbee · November 2013

I usually never cry. The other day I started crying after DH commented on how much more emotional I am all of a sudden, now that I've hit third trimester. Enough said.

cpm1223 · November 2013

I haven't cried much. The last time I did was when I was telling H about a Chevy commercial I heard on the radio. I couldn't get all the words out, started balling, and then laughing because of how silly it was that I was crying. Why didn't your H want you to eat? If my H doesn't feel like eating or isn't hungry and I am, I eat without him!

pennstated912 · November 2013

I didn't cry a lot until the middle of second tri. Now, I cry (and I mean, ugly cry) for pretty much any reason. It could be a song on the radio, a commercial, my FIL telling a story or an actual legitimate reason.

hurricanekb · November 2013

Still not a crier.

Jackapatamus · November 2013

While having coffee and a donut yesterday, I started crying, because it reminded me of being at my grandmother's house having coffee. I started crying because she is no longer around, and I'll never have coffee with her again. My husband gave me a hug and said it'll be ok. He knows that when I'm pregnant lots of things can make me cry!

Pinknights · November 2013

I'm not much if a crier overall, but I have during this pregnancy. A few times especially during fights. I think it's very normal. My SO has said the same thing and I look at him like he's crazy.

peanutmuse · November 2013

I picked yes, but I wish there was something in the middle of yes and no. I have cried, but it was under circumstances when I might have cried anyway. So I'm not 100% sure.

ccip82 · November 2013

I ugly cried last night because DH ate the rest of my baguette that I was saving to go with my soup.

I usually never cry over something this trivial.

ScarlettDahlia · November 2013

Well, normally when DH and I have an argument, I just get pissed. Lately I've been crying when we have arguments.

and then I cried last night when we unloaded the cars after the shower and there was no cake. I would not normally cry because of not having cake, lol

nikkijd17 · November 2013

I just had a super Sunday morning meltdown because I'm exhausted, my body doesn't seem to work between the back pain and the damn carpal tunnel, and my loud pregnant rhinoceros snoring made my DH move into the spare bedroom last night. Add hunger on top of that, and the meltdown level goes to red.

valigrl21 · November 2013

I was a crier before I got pregnant, still am and probably always will be. I might cry a little more due to pregnancy, but not significantly more.

bellamatson · November 2013

I only cry when I get so mad and want to punch something and I can't.

Husband knows when it happens to run for cover, or get hit with the next thing in my reach. Lol

twobluelines · November 2013

@Sugarland726 to be fair to my husband the fight want about me wanting to eat. It was because I put something in the back of his car carelessly and it tipped over while driving so he was mad that I was careless then he brought up that I keep so much stuff on my night stand that I knock things over in the middle of the night. So I pointed out that We had bought shelves 3 months ago to solve that problem and he hasn't put them up. So he said ok let's put them up more and I started crying because I didn't want to put them up NOW I wanted to eat. Which all sounds very infantile as most arguments do in the after math.

iwalktheline · November 2013

I cried while watching elf the other day... Because I really wanted it to be Christmas and its still over a month away.

blue_elle · November 2013

I voted yes, but being overly emotional hasn't been constant for me. When it pops up it's maybe a few days or a week long thing were I just feel really emotional randomly, then I'm back to normal.

Cara1024 · November 2013

I cry all the time. Even when not pregnant.

jwp325 · November 2013

I cry pretty easily not pregnant, but it's gotten worse while pregnant. I've cried at commercials, movies that wouldn't normally make me cry, and the other week I had tears streaming down my face at the end of an episode of How I Met Your Mother. My husband accepts that it's part me and part hormones fortunately.

4lilmunchkins · November 2013

I'm not normally a crier, but today I cried ugly all morning. I was upset because the cat was sitting on my laptop and left tons of fur all over it, then the dog was barking for no reason, DS claimed he asked for pancakes and I had to get up from my breakfast to make pancakes, causing me to spill my milk and make my cereal soggy. Then DS said my butt looked big. DD asked if she could go to her friends, I said yes, then 5 minutes later she was saying I told her to wait. Stupid little things that I wouldn't normally bat an eye at but today they all happened at once and I completely lost it.

Kbrittonhart · November 2013

I am normally one of the toughest cookies in the batch... Unless I am pregnant. I didnt believe the hype about pregnancy making you sensitive until I had my first child. It is truly something that is hard to control!!! However, I actually like being pregnant because I'm able to release my emotions more easily instead of holding things in and being the "strong one." The things I cry for while pregnant aggravates me sometimes though *lol* So tell him it is definetly because of your hormones and you will be back in a couple of months

gina0485 · November 2013

I am more sensitive and cry easier now but to be honest I don't know that it's a huge change from my normal. I'm more likely to get very sad or extra happy or frustrated and react whereas I wouldn't have reacted prior to pregnancy. Sometimes the reaction includes tears.

aessary03 · November 2013

I didn't notice any increased emotions while pregnant. Now, after Ozzy was born that's a different story. So much so that my doctor started me on anti-depressants. Sorry, I'm not much help to your cause. One thing ... I'm not a big crier. So it takes a lot to make me break down and shed a tear usually.

suupercute · November 2013

I am not sure if I am crying more frequently as a result of the pregnancy but I am definitely more sensitive and get annoyed much more easily. I also notice that when I do cry, it last longer and is uglier than before.

ashybear · November 2013

I am traditionally a big crier: Commercials, movie previews, stress, joy... But it's actually mellowed during pregnancy. Though I did cry this morning when a group that's here on retreat, a children's Choir, did a mini-performance of Christmas songs for the staff.
