Why My Pregnant Self is Crying

fromcatstokids · April 2019

I dropped a container of peas on the floor, and it went everywhere. Instant tears. Like crying over spilt milk, haha.

My body is betraying me!! I have been getting some major swelling in my ankles and feet. But last night was different. when I got home the swelling went down in my left foot but not my right. I had to call my on call Dr. (which cost $30) and he told me to wear compression socks, elevate my foot, and drink more fluids. Unless its hurting or discolored not be concerned. I have to work so I am hoping to make it through the day. I cant afford to take any time off. Last week was the sprain and this week its the swelling. And on top of that I woke up with the worse charlie horse ever in my left leg and today it hurts to walk on it. This third trimester got my body all jacked up.

There is an old man who walks his Scottie outside our office every day. We have a lot of people who walk their dogs by our office, but I've taken a liking to this old man and his Scottie. Today, he walked by without his dog. I can't get the sad thoughts out of my head. :'(

cindler · April 2019

Update: The old guy walked by this morning with his dog at his side. The pup was looking spry and happy!

gingermama46 · April 2019

@cindler I was about to ask about this because your post yesterday made me so sad. Glad the pup is ok!

indulgentgypsy · April 2019

@cindler oh good! I was worried about the dog

fromcatstokids · April 2019

@cindler Thank goodness!!
@samanthak46 & @indulgentgypsy Glad I'm not the only one who got misty-eyed reading that yesterday.

indulgentgypsy · April 2019

Not crying, but ready to tear up because my JoJo kicked and it made me think it's only 60 more days until I get to meet her.

greeneyedgirl12 · April 2019

@indulgentgypsy I just realized after reading your post that if my placenta (previa) doesn't move, yesterday was probably the 8 week countdown mark before I get a scheduled C. It was more of a holy S*** moment for me (probably partially cuz I'm a FTM), but part of me wanted to cry...

leylea89 · April 2019

@indulgentgypsy I just had a moment like that. I’m in the 90 day countdown today. And in 90 days it’s my birthday. Ami kicked my hand a few times (any time I lay down and rest my hand on a spot, he responds to the light pressure) it always makes me giggle when he shows off like he’s being funny. And then I’m like holy crap! In just a few months I’m gonna hold you and I got scared and excited and sad because I’m gonna miss this unique type of bonding with him.

leylea89 · April 2019

@greeneyedgirl12 when is your next ultrasound to find out?

greeneyedgirl12 · April 2019

@leylea89 I have OB Tuesday, and MFM Thursday. I think it’s mostly MFM’s call, since they’ve been the ones following it, plus I’m seeing one of my normal OB’s partners this week so I’m at least familiar with her if she’s the one on call or whatever. Also not sure when the final decision day is, may be this visit, may not be...

Trying not to cry in the backseat because I tried to arrange a dinner last minute with friends he wasn't enthusiastic about, we had a small tiff, then ended up having to cancel when we got to the restaurant with said friends because M had a complete meltdown, crying into the floor. I also forgot the items I was supposed to bring for said friends. Did I mention we drove an hour to get out here? Anxiety is so high and I just want to curl up and so.

My younger brother has been staying with us for a month or so between moving out of his last place and closing on a home. It's been difficult having someone ten years (in the height of his 20s) my junior staying with us, cramping our style, interrupting our routines.

This morning, he packed up the rest of his stuff and moved out. And now I'm SAD!!!!

gembud · April 2019

I cried for a good fifteen minutes cause I remembered the movie homeward bound - yuppp

kingdommom · April 2019

Cried today because I want to get my spring cleaning done and my flower beds weeded and ready to plant. But all I wanted to do was lay down and nap which I did. I went grocery shopping this morning and it totally wiped me out! Also my veins are acting up and popping out everywhere! It's like all the sudden my body realized it's in the third trimester and the "honeymoon phase" of pregnancy is over😭😭

scp2585 · April 2019

Cried today because Purple Rain came on my Spotify and I remembered that Prince has died.
Ouch.

cindler · April 2019

This is what I woke up to...

hakele · April 2019

Haha. Me, too! @cindler

One of the students at my school committed suicide last night.

cindler · May 2019

@indulgentgypsy oh wow. That's a horrible thing to go through, I've been there. Sending you and your school love. I hope you've got some support procedures everyone can rely on as you all deal with the tragedy in your own ways.

indulgentgypsy · May 2019

@cindler fortunately we do have really good support procedures in the district, and people in place this morning to help the kids and the staff. He was a brother or cousin to one of my kids (my sped kids) and I know she is going to be a mess. And it's triggering because of past suicides in my family. Makes me want to go hug my honey and my kids, but can't as I am at work.

jenniferjoy37 · May 2019

@indulgentgypsy Oh my goodness. I’m so so so sorry! That’s so difficult to go through, even when not pregnant. I hope that you get a chance to hug your babies tight later. Hugs.

gingermama46 · May 2019

@indulgentgypsy oh no, sending thoughts to you and your students. How awful

cindler · May 2019

@indulgentgypsy

momma.

leylea89 · May 2019

I’m really sorry @indulgentgypsy. Loss in a school is one of the most emotionally taxing things to go through even with support. Teens and pregnant teachers are already hormonal so it’s really hard to process. Much love ❤️

I have a customer at Starbucks who transitioned from female to male. When I found out, I made sure we all knew to call him by his new name because we’d mostly all known him before since we’ve known him for 2+ Years as his former self.

Well yesterday he he brought us Krispy Creme donuts to say thank you for accepting him. I happened to be the manager on duty who got to tell him we love him and he walked away awkwardly because he could see my pregnant ass was about to cry 😭.

I did cry. And I keep crying when I think about it. He’s a good person and he’s living his truth and I’m happy for him. That’s the most important thing to me. I’m still just really happy to know he feels safe in my store and cared for.

1) a Project Runway elimination (because the eliminee just seemed soooo disappointed in himself; I was heartbroken for him)
2) a movie. I never cry at movies (well. twice I have cried at a movie.), but this one character did something so selfless and that shit gets me every time.

cindler · May 2019

A little background... we unexpectedly lost our first dog we ever got in September. She was our only pet for a few years and was what took us from just a couple to a family. I got pregnant in October.

I just saw the ad for the movie A Dog's Purpose and the idea that this miracle LO is our dog reincarnated made me BAWL.

jennm0724 · May 2019

@cindler im sorry! That is exactly when I won’t see that movie, too emotional. I see the commercial and I look at my fur child and I get sad.

cindler · May 2019

@jennm0724 oh yeah, I'll never see the movie, but last night the commercial was all it took. I read A Dog's Purpose (very similar plot) and cried my eyes out! Refused to see the movie because I didn't want to cry all over again.

gingermama46 · May 2019

DH and I carpooled to work this morning. He said something really funny and I spit out my water everywehre. Then started coughing pretty hard then peed myself a little bit. Crying commenced after realizing that I had peed myself on my way to work. Happy Monday ladies

quinniebear · May 2019

@jennm0724 @cindler I can't even watch the preview for that movie ugh lol

hakele · May 2019

1. My car smells like pizza.
2. I left my leftover pizza in the car overnight and I was really looking forward to eating it for lunch.

Sad day.

finnflan · May 2019

Because grumpy cat died 😓

hestia-is-wearie · May 2019

@finnflan That, and this woman I follow on Instagram’s cat died and she gave her a Buddhist funeral. Took the cat to a shrine to give her a proper farewell. I’d never seen a more beautiful ceremony for a cat 😿

foodislove · May 2019

Kiddo flopped head first onto my face and I wasn't prepared to catch him. Skull to nose. Not ten minutes later took a book to the nose in the same spot and DH seemed to imply that it's my own fault for not being 100% on for flying toddler accidents. Burst into tears and am now hiding in the bathroom, left DH to do bedtime which he hates.

Still here 20 minutes later feeling like a failure at life. Work sucks, house is a mess, and I just want to be done with everything for awhile and it's just gonna get worse with two.

mamahmh2 · May 2019

@foodislove ouch !!! You poor thing. That had to hurt bad. We all deserve a 20 min bathroom pity party sometimes.
Hugs... I know what it’s like to be there and be feeling overwhelmed but you’re doing great and you’ll rock it with two. ♥️ Keep your head up ♥️

expatmom39 · May 2019

@foodislove No shame in a Bathroom Hide N Cry! Better to let it out. You’re in good company. ❤️

leylea89 · May 2019

TW: My sister’s experiencing her second miscarriage potentially right now since I’ve been pregnant. Originally she was due within a week or two of me and now she’s due end of November. I got my parents to take her to the hospital as I’m so far away. I have to work in just a few hours so I need to sleep.

I know how how she feels and so I’m really just devastated for her. My baby shower is next weekend and she’s supposed to throw it. I can’t even imagine making her go let alone set up for it any further. That’s just too much emotion too soon and not fair to her.

I feel so helpless being so far from her and unable to help.
