Compiling a list of funny reasons why we cry during pregnancy :)

krasburykrasbury member
in August 2015 Moms
I know there are a lot of posts starting out with "I cried today because..." but I wanted to ask a question about these. I am compiling a list of these and was wondering if anyone would be interested in contributing (not giving away names or any personal information, just the stories themselves)? I've been posting my funny reasons for crying on Facebook and my other friends who are pregnant, as well as other mommas, have been joining in on the fun. I just think it would be fun to have these to read over again later because, when we look back on them, they are sometimes really funny. Example, a friend of mine said she ate two cookies every night before bed during her pregnancy and her husband one night ate some cookies and only left her with one. She said she looked at him and screamed, "What am I supposed to do with only ONE cookie?!" and he ran right out to the store and bought her more cookies. If you would be interested, please post your stories here! I would love to add them to the list.

    I have not been super emotional but i did have one moment that HAD to be the hormones.

    Before our baby was even conceived or before we were even trying we bought a small toddler rocking horse that my husband's aunt was trying to sell at a yard sale. It was the first thing we bought for our baby, who wasn't even a baby then.

    A couple of weeks ago FIL was at a yard sale and bought another very similar rocking horse at a yard sale. This was in a little better shape and looked a LOT like my horse that I ride and show. (We are a horse family). We don't need or really even have room for 2, so we DH suggested that we take one to MILs house. She babysits a couple of kids and then obviously our baby can use it there when she gets older.

    He thought his parents would be offended if we took them the one that they bought plus it was in a little better shape, made some noises, and looks like our horse. I literally bawled because I didn't want to get rid of the other one.

    I decided that while pregnant you cry because things become a big deal again for no reason (due to hormones of course). Its like your a kid again and you have to cry about something tiny that happened bc obviously its the end of the world. I had this light bulb when my step daughter cried bc it started raining so she couldnt swim and she said she didnt know why she was crying about it, but that it just made her so sad that the sun went away before she could get in the pool. Lol I feel like all my cries are like that right now.

    Back in January I was only a couple months along and the coffee shop I worked for had suddenly closed down with less that an 8 hour notice, I was heart broken because I loved my job and customers. My husband told me that I could be a stay at home mom because we are financially stable, so I started to think of maybe doing volunteer work at the animal shelter a few miles from my house. BIG MISTAKE!!!
    I started bawling because I knew I would want to take them all home, but I couldn't because I am allergic to cats and we don't have enough room for the dogs, and how sad it was that our 2 pups have a loving home and these animals needed one. I cried so hard I couldn't breath and my husband was trying so hard not to laugh at me because it was the most UGLY cry I had ever had.

    I cried because the McDonald's soft serve machine was broken. I REALLY wanted a soft-serve...

    I cried the other night bc my son had a stomach virus. My husband asked me why I was crying so hard. I told him it was bc I loved how he looked up at me with so much love and trusted that I'd make it all better. He laughed and said, "yeah.. He trusts that you're going to clean up all the puke on the floor!"

    I cried the other day because I had just finished washing my super-dark-pain-in-my-ass-hardwood-floors and my husband came home from work, walked right past his slippers and left a trail of sweaty footprints all the way to the basement stairs. I know, just a floor, but I literally lost all sense of sanity when he did it...LOL

    Because Jennifer Lopez finally got her man in "Maid in Manhattan". Mind you, I have literally NEVER cried at a movie in my life. I just don't, but that one came on TV and sucked me right in- now it's the only movie that has made me cry, haha

    I once cried because a train on parallel tracks moving at the same time as my train suddenly turned away and disappeared into a tunnel. I suddenly felt so sad.

    My SO and I were at the grocery store in the juice aisle, I walked over to grab the apple juice we normally get and she says, "oh, this brand is on sale, do you want to get it instead?". I started crying so hard. She kept telling me that it was okay and we could get whatever juice I wanted. The catch is, I don't even drink the juice so I honestly couldn't care what brand we got but for some reason it made me so upset that I cried my eyes out in the middle of Kroger. It was a little embarrassing to say the least.

    My sister and nephew were over and he wanted to watch the movie Up. Mind you, the beginning has been decently sad to me before but not cry sad. When the old lady died I cried so hard, out loud. My sister laughed and asked if I was okay and I said it was just so sad and I had to go fix my make up haha.

    @Awigg14 I can totally relate to that! When my husband and I went to the zoo on our babymoon, we saw a family of chimpanzees and the parents were playing with the baby and I bawled like a baby!

    I cried at dirty dancing because Patrick Swayze passed away and was "just so handsome" (that's what I blurted out between sobs to my husband as he looked at me like I was crazy) Looking back it's hilarious but at the time I was just SO devastated.

    I've been a fairly picky eater during my whole pregnancy and back in February the fiancé brought home donairs, but not from my usual restaurant. I ended up crying because there was way too much meat on it and the cheese had melted into one solid lump. I still feel bad because I acted so ungrateful but he just laughs about it.

    I just got done crying because my baby shower is on Sunday and it is going to rain, it is supposed to be outdoors.  On top of that no one has bought anything off of my registry, I am afraid no one will come at all.  So stupid I should not be upset about this, just get your stupid umbrella and eat some cake it will all be fine.

    I cried yesterday because we went out to lunch and the restaurant had changed my usual items - I usually get blackened chicken deviled eggs and brussel sprouts that come with a caramelized onion chutney mixed in. Well..the eggs were now pesto deviled eggs and the brussel sprouts had miso and cilantro mixed in. I lost it... :( My husband kept trying to talk to me and I told him to stop asking me because it just kept making me think about them haha. I feel stupid now but I was REALLY looking forward to my normal foods that I get there.

    @Brodie and Chevelle one or our favorite places changed their menus and I couldn't find my usual meal on the new menu and began panicking! I eventually found it, but I was so upset that they had gotten rid of it and it was the only thing I get at the restaurant and have for years.

    I cried yesterday because my OB office called to confirm my appt. And they schedualed me with the wrong dr, even when I specifically asked to be schedualed with my dr. And the appt card I have says I was schedualed with my dr....now they say she is off that day and booked the rest of the week. My DH thinks I'm crazy for crying but is also mad that they screwed up.

    @MalonT23 and @netters625 my husband's side of the family is having a shower for me today with their entire family (most of which I haven't even met outside of the ones who are close by) and a handful of people RSVPed, but nowhere on the invitation did they put where I was registered or even that I was having a boy...I've been a nervous wreck. It's hard to tell what I'll end up with and I have a feeling I'll get at least one girl outfit. I am so thankful for them having their own shower for me, but it's been stressful because I have enough toys and clothes now, I want a car seat and those types of things now. With five weeks to go, I am panicking. My mom and I are going tomorrow to buy whatever I don't get at the shower today. That way I can be a little less stressed

    I'm not "allowed" to look on mine, but I have that feeling also. I already know so many people giving me clothes, I cried to my mom the other day that my baby wasn't going to have the supplies she needed. My mom told me to suck it up lol. It was pretty sad and I did sound ungrateful, not at all that I wanted to.

    I cried today because my husband told me we could go for pancakes for breakfast, but when we got there it didn't open for 10 minutes so we decided to go get him a coffee. The place we went makes crepes and he convinced me that we should have those instead....it was too sweet, I just wanted pancakes!

    In the beginning when my body was adjusting to the hormones, I cried because it was 10 o'clock at night and the "egg roll place" was closed. I also cried when a serving dish that I never use broke. The movie Noah made me cry because it made me feel stressed. Most recently I cried because I discovered stretch marks.

    I cried because my BIL. Got h and I Olive garden ( which isn't close to our house) and they messed up both my food order and desert order. The guys were laughing at how hard I was crying! But, because it was so far, we couldn't do anything about it. :(

    I haven't been emotional at all this entire pregnancy.. Until last week. Now if I get slightly hungry, meltdown. Also at night when I'm trying to fall asleep but the heartburn prevents me from getting comfy, I really lose it then. I feel like a toddler. :-S
