Super Emotional!

Jparke2 · September 2015

Well, it looks like I've officially become an emotional, crying pregnant lady! I'll be 6 weeks tomorrow and up until now I've felt very moody and irritable, and a little bit more emotional than usual. My only instance of extreme emotion came the other day in the car because a Beatles song came on the radio, which made me tear up and then laugh hysterically at how funny it was that I was crying over a song, and then ANOTHER Beatles song came on right afterwards and I started sobbing. I thought it was an isolated incident, until today. I've cried five times today. I cried when I wanted to clean the kitchen but the smell of the food in the fridge and the smell of the trash made it impossible for me to be in there. Then I cried when DH took the trash out and did the dishes to make it a little better in there for me, and cried a little later when he basically implied that I was exaggerating on my fatigue level/nausea. Then I cried on the way home from the grocery store because DH got super frustrated at how long it took us, since he wanted to go home and watch football. And finally, I had a plug-in scented oil thing in the bathroom that fell out of the outlet and shattered all over the floor. Glass and slippery scented oil EVERYWHERE. I sobbed. My husband thinks I'm insane.

How is everybody else feeling? Anyone else feel like they've gone crazy?

::hugs:: Yes, I was definitely overly sensitive and less patient than usual yesterday. When I had DS, the crazy tears came and went every so often until almost 2 months after he was born.

Oh no! Glad I'm not the only one, though! At least I know it'll all be worth it in the end!

Oh yes - I definitely have crazy times.

Last weekend, my husband was out of town, and I started freaking out because I was like "how am I going to take care of this house, these cats, AND a baby, AND do my job?! Oh my god I've made a terrible mistake!" I bawled so. hard. Like I haven't cried like that since I was a child. I even emailed my therapist and was like "If I fail at this, I literally fail at life!"

Then I remembered I had a husband and that he'd come home in a couple of days.

And I laughed at my email to my therapist.

Aw! That sounds awful, I totally relate! I was thinking the same thing, "how am I going to do this by myself!?" only my husband was sitting on the couch at the time watching football! He'll have to really enjoy this last football season of freedom because by this time next year, he isn't going to get to spend a whole day on the couch watching football anymore!

Oh oh, and then...I'll be like in the car and a song will come on (e.g., see the lyrics in my signature), and I will start bawling, put my hand on my pelvis, and be like "This is how I feel about you, little amoeba! (what I call the baby...)" it's really kind of hilarious.

Haha aw thats too funny! That is exactly what happened to me when The Beatles songs came on! I kept thinking anybody driving by might look in and super concerned for me

I randomly cried a few times over the weekend, and got really emotional last night when DH and I were talking about some serious changes in our routines/ lives with Baby Bit (our nickname for the baby) on the way. Then I cried because he told me we couldn't announce the pregnancy in true HP fashion at the wedding on Halloween. So irrational. But kind of hilarious.

I've been crying nonstop too. I can't even explain what is making me cry half of the time. My first pregnancy was completely different, I had horrible physical symptoms (crippling leg & back pain, 9 months of severe morning sickness) but emotionally I was on cloud nine, nothing got to me. This time I feel pretty much fine physically but I'm a wreck emotionally. Ugh. Not sure which is worse.

I cried yesterday morning because DH wouldn't let me sleep on his side of the bed... in my defense I sleep there during the day when I'm asleep and he's at work or at
