Why My Pregnant Self is Crying - 8/1

UnicornsPlease · August 2016

Hey everyone! This weekend my husband and I took a stroll thru a Babies 'R Us so that he could get familiar with some of the stuff we'll need down the line. I saw a product that horrified me and I started crying right in the middle of the store. It was some sort of double-boob hands-free contraption for pumping breastmilk that I'm sure is very useful but... seeing the lady hooked up like a cow just made me lose it. All of a sudden it was too much and I didn't WANT to be a cow, etc etc. Of course, I don't think breastfeeding mamas are cows...but something about that image really got to me.

Of course it passed, and I was happily pushing strollers around a few minutes later.

i was looking at cute baby announcements and I was like omg this is SO cute, and totally teared up.. totally....

RunBooRun · August 2016

DH showed me a super soft, fluffy polar bear when we were out shopping. I love polar bears and the thought of our LO having a little stuffed bear was so cute!

I got teary watching the news this morning.. When a little girl had a tea party with the police officer that saved her life a year ago.

When I was saying good bye to my extended family this week after our vacation, I started tearing up and then just started balling. I always made fun of my mom growing up for getting emotional when saying goodbye and here I was breaking down in front of everyone. No one knows I'm pregnant so they all thought I must just really hate saying goodbye. Oh hormones...

@emgem819 My parents are coming for a visit this week and I'm already fully anticipating losing it when they leave.

A football player who played for my college team died recently in a car accident and they had a memorial at the stadium for him this weekend. They posted the memorial video they played on FB and I watched it and of course cried my eyes out. Poor kid was only 24, so sad :'(

Sazzical · August 2016

None of my pants fit, in a hurry to get to a family function. That would be not only crying, but also throwing stuff. First tantrum, felt super sorry for the hubs.

smevan11 · August 2016

Today I made lunch at the local Ronald McDonald House with my mom's group. So sad to think about sick kids and grieving/stressed/sad parents. Of course I'd probably tear up even if I wasn't pregnant.

Yesterday I cried because I feel so physically lousy, I have no energy and I feel like I am never going to feel any better. Deep down I know this is not the case, but none the less it was a full on sob-fest. Then I ate a quesadilla and felt much better...

totally with you on this one

SoraLk · August 2016

Was in the bathroom stall at work when the light cover fell just outside the stall. I cried a good bit over it. =(

Spartanrd4 · August 2016

I just took my cat to the vet and he is usually pretty good at the vet besides being upset and having to be in the pet carrier. Well today he was so crazy, hissing and agitated that the vet couldn't safely examine him or anything. Now I have to give him a sedative and bring him back on Thursday. He scratched me up pretty good on both arms....I was just so upset by the whole thing I cried in the car on the way home. I've never seen him act like that before :'( if I am like this with a pet...what will I be like with a child?!

Burrberrymum · August 2016

I was watching Home for the billionth time with my 3 year old, and I cried TWICE. Once when tip finds her mom, and they hug. Second time was when the Gorg comes out of his creepy mask and grabs his rock with the little baby gorgs inside and left. My daughter was looking at me like I'm crazy... I've never cried at that movie before, or any movie really!

kiki75 · August 2016

Because my H just spent 25 hours in Maui and even though I logically know it's for work and I'd rather he have nice overnights than crappy ones, I'm still kinda jealous. Oh? How was that breakfast outside with fresh pineapple juice? Mmm-hmm. Good swim in the ocean? Nice smoothie this afternoon. Swell. I'm going to go home and eat some leftovers. And then because I asked my friend who is 7 months if she had daycare arranged because we do live in one of the areas that tends to have super long waitlists and I realized she might not know and tried to tell her. She acted like I was being ridiculous "I just can't think that far ahead right now. I have to focus on the current stuff." Noted. From now on, when I know stuff that might be helpful, lips zipped.

kap1988 · August 2016

Because of @longliveregina quoting What to Expect When You're Expecting

skcasey526 · August 2016

Legit held back sobs watching Inside Out, and last night when my dinner was less than satisfactory. Oh, and when I felt guilty at bed time because I didn't get enough quality time with one of the dogs...lol

smevan11 · August 2016

@Kiki75 yeah yeah yeah it's for work but they don't have to actually do any work while they're there.

catrb89 · August 2016

Ugh crying because I selfishly had been using salicylic acid face wash and apparently you're not supposed to do that. Bought a new pregnancy-safe skin care line and it's going to take forever to ship. Byebye money.

wintersong · August 2016

This morning I cried so hard ask8my my husband to stay home from work bc my son woke up every 20 minutes from 12:30 to 5:30, when he was up for the morning. Duh, he had to go to work. All I accomplished was making him feel guilty.

Mr. 18 months is so wired right now. I'm never sleeping again. I actually googled if sleep deprivation causes miscarriage (it doesnt).

Schumerator · August 2016

I got slightly teary yesterday over my nostalgia for fall coming up. Thinking about the crisp air, perfect football Sundays, carving pumpkins, ugh! I just couldn't take how much I love fall!

Finallyhismrs07 · August 2016

Because I made the mistake of reading this adorable story at work..............

EALasagna45 · August 2016

I cried today because my RE released me to my OB this morning. I know it's a super positive thing to be happening but all of the staff there was so wonderful and I'm going to miss them!

OMG! What is wrong with you! You can't post that here! Lord help us all....

and @EALasagna45 That's such wonderful news!! It probably is hard to leave a really good staff though, hopefully the next people you see are just as awesome!

skcasey526 · August 2016

@EALasagna45 my u/s and discharge appt from my RE is next week- it is weirdly sad and wonderful! So bittersweet.

EALasagna45 · August 2016

@Schumerator Thank you!

I was in the process of finding a new OB while we were TTC and although I've had only one appointment with her and we mesh really well, it's still weird going to a new office. I'm hoping this staff is just as good!

@skcasey526 GL at your final appointment next week and congrats!! It's so true that it's a bittersweet feeling, that's the best way to describe it. I was keeping my cool until the receptionist gave me a hug on my way out lol

kjd291 · August 2016

Because my DD has been being babysat by Netflix and fed only prepackaged food all week and I feel like the worlds worst mom.

Aww don't be too hard on yourself! You are growing another human! She might not be able to understand that, but I'm sure she thinks you're doing a great job

kjd291 · August 2016

@Schumerator

thank you! Now your encouraging post is making me teary.

RunBooRun · August 2016

This morning I walked into the kitchen and then immediately walked out. It spelled like bacon and I couldn't take it. I sat on the couch and cried a little, while DH sprayed some air freshener.

mrsyimster · August 2016

the thought of zika... this morning... made me tear up.......

msirni0 · August 2016

@ealasagna45 that will be me tomorrow! I'm excited to be movi on but I will miss the staff at my RE's office SO much!

i cry a lot of the time. One thing happened to good family friends of mine that truly was heartbreaking and I would cry if I wasn't pregnant, but I also cry bc I can't eat anything.

EALasagna45 · August 2016

Congratulations @msirni0 & GL at your final appointment tomorrow!

That's so awesome you had fabulous staff at your RE's office too. It seriously makes all the difference.

mtmama2 · August 2016

@mrsyimster This makes me cry regularly! We were supposed to wait 8 weeks after we got back from Mexico to start trying and we ended up only waiting 6 weeks. Neither of us had any symptoms but I will not be able to stop worrying about Zika until we have the anatomy scan and see how everything is progressing....well really, not until I have the baby in my arms and can see with my own eyes that everything is fine.

and now I'm tearing up again, ugh...

kiki75 · August 2016

@SienaC Where in Mexico were you? They've kind of given Mexico a somewhat unfair blanket warning. It's a huge area with many places not being very friendly to the mosquitos in question.

Spartanrd4 · August 2016

Why did I think it was a good idea to watch the movie Ghost on HBO?

librarymom917 · August 2016

I saw the preview for the Deep Water Horizon movie and I just lost it, DH works on a land rig and it just was too close to home, didn't help that he's currently at work until Tuesday. I just cried until I got a headache. I hope he doesn't want to see that movie because I know I won't be able to watch it.

potato3000 · August 2016

I teared up watching Bad Moms (which was an amazing movie -- you all HAVE too see it) when the little girl is crying to her Mom at the spa and at the end with all the interviews of the actresses and their Moms

mrsnc · August 2016

So DH decided to bring up the conversation about what our preferences would be after we pass away (cremation, burial, wake, etc.). He does this out of the blue. About a minute into him talking, I had to interrupt him and remind him I'm pregnant and incredibly emotional. You just can't do that! We are young, 31 and 26, and while logical me understands it's a good conversation to have just in case of some freak accident, pregnant me is bawling and almost yelling at him to postpone this conversation for about a year!

mtmama2 · August 2016

@Kiki75 We were in Playa Del Carmen which is just south of Cancun!

kiki75 · August 2016

@SienaC It doesn't look like Zika is particularly active in that area. I totally understand freaking out (Zika scares the crap out of me, too) but logically, you really should be totally fine.
