Why my pregnant self is crying 3/18

What's triggering the waterworks this week?

[Deleted User] · March 2018

The bunch of kale I pulled out to make with dinner tonight was so beautiful. It was also organic, and grown right here in the USA.

I'm tired and achy and a little crampy (like normal uterus expanding cramps, nothing worrisome, just ouchy) and as I started to fall asleep in my chair I forgot that my husband wasn't here and decided that he should be in charge of the baby for the rest of the night cause I just don't feel good. Then I remembered that he isn't here and I still have to do all the things by myself. Crying.

Dateline...I mean you know it has no good outcome, but still brings on the waterworks!

Netflix. Watched Benji with DD and he's just such a good dog (he also doesn't die! It's a good family movie). Also the new Queer Eye, I would watch all the episodes but I need to go to bed. Thank you Netflix, my sinuses have been flushed for the day

Michigan State lost today. They are soo good at making last minute shots. I bawled for over an hour after the game.

I have a doctor's appt today and I just cried for over an hour about how I was treated by my former provider from my pregnancy with DD vs how well my OB listens now. Yes, I cried about how I was treated 5 years ago.

And then I rage cried because I don't know if it's the difference in provider, the fact that I'm no longer an unmarried college student on Medicaid just to make sure my kid had insurance when she was born, or both.

It's been 5 years and I still want to punch the midwife who insisted that I must be a heavy smoker for my placenta to be so degraded at 2 days past my due date. Nope, that would be the blood pressure that no one listened to me about.

@knitknitread Those all seem like incredibly valid reasons to cry, with or without pregnancy hormones.

stothi · March 2018

@knitknitread well now I'm crying! I was going to write I'd cry too, but then I teared up. I'm happy you are getting better treatment now, but it sucks so much that you didn't get it before. Hugs.

knitknitread · March 2018

Thanks @stothi and @SkilledSailor It took me a really long time to even be able to talk about it.

@knitknitread I'm crying for you too-I had a terrible experience last time too, birth trauma is real, it's not in your head. I'm SO SO GLAD for you though that you have such a great new provider!

I’m watching someone give birth on tv and she is having a long hard labor. It is making me sad for her, scared for myself, and excited that I am finally getting my chance to be pregnant and have a baby.

HGTV house reveals. Lately when homeowners tear up, I sob along with them.

This song. On repeat all day long. A beautiful message with beautiful music and I can’t stop listening!! (Lin Manuel Miranda + Ben Platt = magic)

TW: a girl that DH knew when he was a kid just passed away at 9 months pregnant I think, not sure if it was during birth or not, from a ruptured uterus. I didn’t know her, and DH wasn’t super close to her, but we’re both sort of devastated out of terror. DH is really, really upset and scared and I’m trying to tell him I’m like, abnormally healthy and there’s nothing to worry about, but it’s just scary and sad.

I usually have funny reasons but this one is sad and scary. Hope I did the TW spoiler thing right.

stothi · March 2018

@ashh2018 oh, no. That's awful. I'm so sorry.

nlc8424 · March 2018

@ashh2018 I'm so sorry, that is devastating.

pourmeanothermocktail · March 2018

@ashh2018 I'm so so sorry, that's completely awful.

klj0228 · March 2018

@ashh2018 I’m sorry, that is terrible!

I went to target today to just look at stuff in person and get ideas of stuff I want. Instead I walked out crying overwhelmed with all the different choices. Why are there so many choices of everything?!?!

jhjocelyn · March 2018

@klj0228

two words.
baby bargains ...okay 3 words..book.
Lays out easy charts, what you actually need to know, and why.

So much less overwhelming!

klj0228 · March 2018

@jhjocelyn added to amazon registry then purchased it so I can get my welcome box. Two birds, one stone.

jhjocelyn · March 2018

@klj0228 Yay!! You will not regret it! It is now my standard gift to friends and family who are expecting.

Today was just quite the day, lots of little things that just are bubbling up under the surface and enough to make me teary.

Also, my manager held a bake sale fundraiser for a location organization that helps kids/families with Down Syndrome and she told the team that they raised over $1200 in 4 hours. This is very near and dear to her since her child was unexpectedly born with Down Syndrome this past fall and she was trying to give back. She told us how this was very therapeutic to do for her and how she was emotional while counting the money raised and I cried right along with her as she was describing it. I'm such a sap lately!

klj0228 · March 2018

@nlc8424 that is an awesome amount of money raised in a bake sale! A very sentimental/exciting reason for tears.

My husband indicated that he might not actually be home when we thought he would, so it might not "only" be another 8 weeks before he gets home. No time frame for how much longer was given, nor was an explanation of why. This means he may very well not be home in time for the anatomy scan and he didn't bother to ask how the NT scan went. When I brought up the NT scan and my frustration that he didn't ask, he explained that he was busy and tired so he didn't get a chance. I'm very much having a straw that broke the camel's back moment.

klj0228 · March 2018

@stothi I am so sorry about the news on your H coming home. I’m sure for him it is really hard to be away and distancing himself from what is happening at home helps make it easier. That does not help you feel loved and supported though which makes it even harder on you. Maybe things will slow down for him later today and he will get a chance to chat with you more about the NT scan.

knitknitread · March 2018

@stothi I am so sorry ❤

nlc8424 · March 2018

@stothi my love tit is a big big hug. That is awful on so many levels I am SO sorry. I'm sure he feels his hands are tied with work obligations and he's just not tied into the daily things you have going on, including any OB appointments. How frustrating. How often do you get to talk? I know I would be fuming in your shoes, but once calm I would express to him how you're feeling and ask more about the circumstances of his delaying being home. And I would also see if it might be feasible to sneak a trip out to him soon for your sanity. Again, big hugs.

I watched Land before time. Then this scene came on..

DD sang along to The Beatles.

This morning I was driving to work and in a fantastic mood, listening to Bruno Mars station through Bluetooth in my car when traffic slowed for an accident up ahead. There was an ambulance, a couple of police, and a fire truck, and then I saw a school bus and lost it. I didn't even know what happened but just started thinking of the worst and started crying. I didn't see any damage to the bus, there were 2 other cars involved, and I'm hoping that the bus driver just pulled over because they witnessed the accident.

I have cried way too much this week. We lost out on a really beautiful, perfect house yesterday. I tell myself not to get my hopes up every single time, but it's impossible. I had already been imagining bringing the new baby home to this lovely house, playing with DS in the yard, and my family coming to visit us there. It hit me hard. Then today I started really missing my mom and I've been wishing so hard that she would just move down here already. I know she will eventually, but I want her to be here when the new baby arrives, so she can be as involved as she was when DS was born. I can't even picture not having her there for the birth.
