Why my pregnant self is crying..

cabu14 · July 2016

I've seen this on other BMBs and I thought it might be time to start it here...

Any silly reasons you have shed tears recently?

Teach123 · July 2016

Yes, but now I can't remember. Pregnancy brain.

OH and I got in a fight in the middle of a Menard's (a midwestern home improvement store, similar to Home Depot) over the weekend that resulted in me crying. The reason? He wanted to build an open stair concept in our new house and I actually visualized (and vocalized to him elaborately!) the scenario of our future child, at only 6 months old, somehow busting through the child safety gate, crawling all the way to the top of the stairs, squeezing his or her way in between the steps, and then falling 8 feet onto the hardwood floor below, and then I visualized the trip to the ER, the little baby casts, and the doctor coming out and telling us "we're sorry, there's nothing we can do" and how we'd have to contact a funeral director. I was near-sobbing.

He was like, "Okay, fine, I'm on your side, maybe an unnecessary risk, but can we both agree that the chances of us having to contact funeral director as the result of our baby catapulting itself through an open staircase from 8 feet is SO INCREDIBLY UNLIKELY?"

Because the waitress brought the most beautiful plate full of beer battered french fries that I had ever seen. -no lie.

AlabamaRedhead · July 2016

The beginning of UP. Damn you Pixar.

BAJDesigns · July 2016

I walked into the kitchen this morning and announced "I'm just so cranky and I don't know why!" and promptly started to cry. DH made up an impromptu song and dance called "Crank Monster" until I was laughing instead.

Kurtni · July 2016

@AlabamaRedhead Uggh, and to think that's a freaking kids movie.

mjschenk · July 2016

Because I saw the cute video on Facebook for the 100th time of the baby growing in the moms tummy lol oh all the feels.

Emma61210 · July 2016

I cried last night at the end of toy story 3.. It's always made me cry but I was sobbing bad!!

And tonight I cried because chick-fil-a changed their BBQ sauce recipe and it's terrible!!

Lkatz1826 · July 2016

Watching The big dinosaur with my son! I was crying throughout the whole thing!

colleenkevin · July 2016

Because a mommy deer and her 2 baby deer were my backyard and the circle of life...

christac1010 · July 2016

@colleenkevin Yes! I cried when a bunch of cars stopped to help a mother goose and her baby geese cross a busy street! Nature and the circle of life will get me every time!

I cried the other day when DH tried to play a practical joke on me. He was pretending he couldn't get me my favorite ice cream and I started crying. He quickly ran in with the ice cream. Needless to say he'll never play a joke on his pregnant wife again!

Yah know, with the way cravings make us pregnant ladies feel... I can totally understand this.

LOL

clichedemorgy · July 2016

Because baby hats.

Literally stood in target, clutching a baby hat and sobbing about how cute it was.

Carly79 · July 2016

Love this discussion. I cried this morning on the way to work when I passed a truck hauling pigs to the processing plant. I live in the Midwest, this is a very normal site for me.

curlysue22 · July 2016

@AlabamaRedhead - I just cried at the end of Up! (I didn't see the beginning or I'm sure that would have had me sobbing too).

sagoon · July 2016

Because I watched a video where a horse and a goat were best friends.

emy730 · July 2016

I bawled at a Travelers Insurance commercial yesterday. It shows a father and daughter relationship and I just lost it.

AlabamaRedhead · July 2016

@Carly79 Don't do it girl. You will be a mess!!!

ChaoticWolf · July 2016

I cried late last night while my head was in the toilet, because I thought my MS was gone and I had been feeling better the last week. I felt so betrayed, like my body had given me the all clear to be normal again, and then laughed in my face and ramped up the puking to a higher level.

Also DH needs to clean the toilet better.

TinaBelcher · July 2016

Because Chicago was on the radio. Don't look at me, I don't want you to see me this way....

Then the next week because the Fugees were on the radio and the injustices they rapped about 20 years ago are exactly the same and ::sobbing::

Boudie49 · July 2016

I was super excited about my roast beef and cheese sandwich I was going to have for work today, I even told my husband how excited I was last night before I went to bed. I woke up and remembered we're going out as a group today to celebrate a co-workers retirement. I was so sad I wouldn't be able to eat my dream sandwich today.

gonetothesea · July 2016

Because I caught a pikachu in the Pokemon Go game, but it got away. Haha.

TexasGal24 · July 2016

Thank you for starting this thread today!! I've been so emotional lately and I just needed to know I wasn't alone. When I've cried recently:

This morning, I had my first cup of coffee in 3 months (very watered down with lots of cream) and I sat on our back stoop chatting with my sis for 5 minutes. I felt so normal so in-my-own skin for those short minutes, it was like I had my body back. Then I started crying.

I tried to watch Father of the Bride and I didn't even make it past the opening credits and I was bawling. I turned it off because ain't nobody got time to cry for 2 hours straight.

DH and I were watching One Born Every Minute and he saw a baby being born and jumped up kind of freaking out. I thought it was absolutely hilarious and he was kind of playing it up because I was laughing SO HARD. Then he said "ugh, I couldn't do that!", and I literally went from laughing hysterically to crying hysterically and I couldn't stop. He felt so bad and said he only said that to make me keep laughing. But it just scared me when he said that!

I also cried listening to Bob Marley's "Could You Be Loved".

This doesn't count all the other times when my eyes watered up for no reason at all.

nolemomma14 · July 2016

I was puking this morning and peed a little while that was happening so that deserved a cry.

Then I cried because the puking has been worse this last week than the previous 12 weeks of pregnancy.

It's still early in the day. Excited to see what else brings tears today

Carly79 · July 2016

@boudie49 I would have eaten the sandwich before I left or when I got back

bab&tjp · July 2016

The other day I was texting my husband and I asked him if he could take a picture of a bill for me so I can pay it (at work) and he text back OMG like he was irritated I was asking him such a simple task. I then proceeded to flip out about how it was a simple task and I wasn't asking much. He said whoa, calm down it was supposed to be OK and it autocorrected to omg. I just went in the bathroom to cry b/c I was so worked up prior HAHA

Carly79 · July 2016

I feel bad for those that have to live with a pregnant woman normally. Last night however, my husband was asking for my grumpiness. I was already in a bad mood, my son was not going to sleep, and I was frustrated. We eventually decided to try a drive, it resets my son and usually he's out in a minute. While driving, I was at a stop light, in the turn lane and no one was around and my husband had the audacity to give me crap about not using my turn signal. Normally it's a running joke, I'm usually pretty good about it but if no one is around I kind of feel like it's a waste of effort

So, long story short, he decided to poke the bear and it set me off. Seriously, don't they get it??

katesmama0706 · July 2016

A friend said something to me about having "unnecessary money" as in, they're so loaded she doesn't need this extra money her Etsy shop is bringing in and I literally fell the shit apart. I threw myself a lovely, snot filled sob fest pity party because I want unnecessary money and right now I'm looking down the barrel of a very expensive few months. Wtf? Who even says they have too much money?
After I was finished I looked at myself like "umm seriously?" So many hormones.

Edited cause TB ate half of it

hayhay2501 · July 2016

@katesmama0706 that is unbelievable! Like something someone says in a over the top comedy. I would love some unnecessary money!!

I started crying today because it was 93 degrees out and I walked 15 minutes to my train only to find every train was cancelled from the station (London CANNOT handle anything over 85). I then called my husband and he told me to just walk to another train station and get a different line. I burst out crying and said "fine I guess you just want me to collapse on the sidewalk AND DIE." Not sure what I expected of him... But he did think I was on the verge so he met me at the other train station and we got dinner before going home.

Not my finest moment!

katesmama0706 · July 2016

@hayhay87 right? Had I not been so shocked I would have been like "well feel free to cut me a check any day, I'll gladly take it"

Also, I'm with London. Anything over 85 is awful and everything should be cancelled. Which has also made me cry several times this pregnancy, like crying is going to change the weather.

amaren-2 · July 2016

My old dog got a hot spot on his back. The vet isn't 100% sure it isn't fungal/ringworm and wants me to be careful with him so I don't get anything bring pregnant. I just want to cuddle my heart dog.

Smiley-1980 · July 2016

This morning when my daughter woke up she said she has a nightmare that she was walking alone outside and couldn't find me. I was so sad that she felt scared and alone.

Mylitta · July 2016

Wow... I'm not crying but others may wish I would. I've just noticed that I'm annoyed almost always and it doesn't take much for it to slip into angry.
Except actually with my H/family. I'm a little overly sensitive to them... I think I just don't want to be angry with them.

mrshuse525 · July 2016

I just watched the bachelorette and cried when they got to Luke's date and he made her "walk the road to his heart". It was so sweet, he had flower petals and candles and everything LOL

My husband thinks I'm crazy but I sat there and sobbed anyways.

Edit: I can't put a sentence together tonight.

Dinozaur · July 2016

I'm in my last college class, and I was feeling excited about being done so I watched the live streaming of my school's graduation ceremony the other day. I cried when the graduates walked in because I was just "so proud" of them. I don't even know any of these people.

Lecool · July 2016

We ordered pizza for carryout, but I accidentally called the wrong location so when we got there, they didn't have our pizza. The other location was less than 10 minutes away but I was so hungry.

Vivi20 · July 2016

I cried the other day while I was cleaning the kitchen. There was no reason, I just felt the tears coming as I was wiping down the counter. That was my latest crying episode. But I've cried over many, many silly things lately.

JessLeonard23 · July 2016

I've had three outbursts so far...

1. Watching the original Independence Day on the 4th of July, which I've easily seen 50 times. That part when the explosion is coming through the tunnel and Vivica A. Fox, her son and their dog are trying to get away. Mom and son bust into a maintenance room, but the dog is a bit slower, and they're yelling its name, and the explosion is getting closer and closer... The dog is totally fine, and I KNEW that, but I couldn't help bursting into like...gasping-for-breath tears. And then my husband was laughing at me so hard that HE started crying, which made me feel worse.

2. We went to see The Secret Life of Pets in theaters (probably the last time we go to a movie in the theater for a while...). There is one scene (SPOILERS) where one of the dogs is remembering his time with his previous owner, and they show that his owner was an older gentleman, and I realized that he was absolutely going to be dead...so naturally I burst into tears. When we got out of the movie, one of our friends asked which part had made me cry so much, and as I opened my mouth to tell her, I started crying again.

3. On the way home from a weekend trip to Austin, we were in the car and I was dancing to some '90s music. Dancing is a generous term for how I move to music, but either way, I gave myself the giggles...and then they turned to sobs, OUT OF NOWHERE. Swear to god, it's like being on acid or something. I don't know if anyone else has this happen, but all three of these outbursts also included my mouth like...instantly filling with saliva, so it's like I was leaking from every hole on my face.

Very attractive, I'm sure.

Carly79 · July 2016

@katesmama0706 What in the world is unnecessary money?? Even if I had extra coming in from somewhere, I wouldn't dare call it unnecessary, there is always something to use it on. Even if it is putting it in savings for a rainy day.

Carly79 · July 2016

@mylitta I have been flipping back and forth between being annoyed/angry and crying. I feel bad about the annoyed/angry phases and as much as I hate crying unnecessarily prefer that.
