Hi girls, i really don't know what happened to me yesterday but i went to work, i was feeling a little bit tired but nothing unusual, i felt my baby low and heavy. 1 hour after i arrived at my office, i surprised myself crying in the corridor and i could'nt stop or move, nothing! My manager arrived and asked of course what was happening, if i had any pain or whatever, nothing but i was just crying!
We went to see the nurse who said it is completely normal, the hormones are playing with me!! I stayed with her a little bit and lye down, when she came back, she only told me one word and hop, in tears again! so she called a taxi and i came back home. The taxi was quiet but as soon as he asked me why i was going back home so early i cried, he was so embarrassed and so was it!
Because i am on holidays from Monday, my manager told me to stay at home today. So here i am, relaxing while the others are working.
Crazy isn ... !

Around 10 weeks into my pregnancy we went out with friends for dinner. My husband - who has a very very evil sense of humour - suggested a movie with Reese Witherspoon because she reminds him of his ex girlfriend (baring in mind we have been married 6 years!) Well, the flood gates opened and just would not stop. It was so bad that the waiter serving us thought it was his fault (poor thing was only 18) and I dont think he returned to work after that.

The best part - my husband said it to illistrate to our friends the fragility of pregnancy. ... We have since found out we having a boy which explains the sudden bursts of 'violent' anger on my part - too much testosterone! I sometimes wonder which ones worse.

Enjoy the time off.

Just reading through all the replys to your thread Charlotte has got me thinking...yes this hormonal bursting into tears is NORMAL! Thank god Im not going mad! We hear of baby blues but I didnt quite realise how emotional a time pregnancy can be! Our hormones are up the left all right! Some of us moreso than others. Its only when I look back on my previous pregnancy 8yrs ago that I realise...I had hardly a dry eye day the whole 8wks before I M/C. Some pregnancies are like that. This one isnt just quite on that scale, but I do have my moments...as my hubby says "Is the hormone back?" and gives me a hug. We do need to be able to show our feelings and talk to someone when we are down or just have some quite time to ourselves if we need it. Try to find a good girlfriend to talk to, who has gone through something similar, if hubby doesnt want to listen. And remember to laugh when we can and try and enjoy the good times in our pregnancies..so please god they will out number the sad times! Big hugs girlies xxxx tc Sharon 20wks

Hi girls,

I am Priyanka. I am 18 weeks pregnant, and I dunno why but the smallest thing makes me cry these days. Everyone keeps telling me emotional stress is not good for the baby, but however may I try, I just can't stop it. I hope its not gonna affect my child. I have a very loving and patient husband, but still sometimes we have arguments, and I cry buckets even at the smallest and illogical reasons. Please help..!!

Hi. I'm Jen. Just wanted to reply to charlottes message. I was like that as well and was happend last night. I was just crying when my husband drinks, actually not much and he just stay at home. But i was really crying and I don't know why! I was actually worried if my baby got affected. And I'm 24 weeks pregnant. Please advice...

Hello Jen just wanted to reply to your comment. Just a few hours ago I was crying hysterically. I had a good day at work, I came home and took a shower and out of nowhere I started crying really hard and quiet to myself. I thought about how fat I was getting and how I hated my husband for not being comforting enough. Anyways I think I'm actually going crazy. I'm 33 weeks now so your probably about to pop any minute. Hopefully things are better with you. With my first son I was not only emotional during my pregnancy but I suffered post partum depression for the first 3 weeks. I would cry at the craziest things and took everything to heart.

Hi girls
i'm also very weepy and needy this week especially. i'm 9 weeks since yesterday & have been fine up until we told our families last weekend!! i started to feel overwhelmed by family members starting to fuss over me and felt as though my husband was being sidelined. I'm constanlt looking for reassurance off him and testing him!! it's very draining. we're married almost 3 years and together almost 11 years. he's the best husband ever but sometimes i'd like him to be a bit demonstrative and a little more sensitive to little things he might say, that i'd normally laugh off, but not now with the raging hormones.
please help

I woke up this morning thinking everything was fine, normal day. By the time I was making breakfast I started crying and haven't stopped since. I thought I was truelly going crazy. One thing after the other breaks me down. I am 30 weeks and I don't remember this with my first one, but I guess looking back now i certainly had my moments. It imakes me feel better that I am not alone because it definitley feels that way sometimes. Good luck to all of you! Once our new bundles are here, hopefully we can get back to ourselves.

it won't affect yoru baby. It is normal for pregnant women to become emotional for anything. What is important is that you get support from your family or husband.

Don't forget to have some good time as well. It is not so much for the baby but more for you. You have to enjoy this great experience and have good memories of it.

I was as well crying like mad when I was pregnant. But a (big) piece of chocolat always cheered me up

Good luck to you

I am 2 months pregant and I feel like I am losing my mind. I have no one to talk to. My husband is the most impatient man I have ever met, and he has no time for me when I feel emotional. He screams at me, and says horrible horrible things. I cannot talk to him about anything. I don't know where to turn. I can't stop crying. I feel like I am losing my mind. What can I do to stop this b/c I feel crazy.

It's perfectly normal though!
Don't worry, at least you have sympathetic people around you, I had a friend who was pregant and her boss (a woman) was extremely bad about the whole thing, made it very difficult for her to have time off for her appointments and had an awful attitude towards her. She was one of those women who didn't like people having time off, ill as well. I can't stand people like that!

Chin up, girls!

Don't worry I am the same since the beginning of my pregnancy but it is getting better!
have a nice holidays, enjoy and chill!!!!!

who gave you any negative vibes by saying that I was down at the moment!
Hope you're feeling better. It can sound strange but yesterday, I burst out crying all night as well!
My boyfriend didn't manage to calm me down, I just let it all out! Today I'm at work and I almost burst into tears again in front of my colleagues but I went for lunch and cried outside!
You are reassuring me, it's normal!
How long are your holidays?? Are you going anywhere?
I feel like spending some time with myself so I'll probably go to the cinema after work. I won't have a lot of time to do that after the birth, I might take advantage of it now.
Smile and relax!

One day i was having a driving lesson, my intructor told me off 4 a mistake i did(well it is is job!) and i burst out crying, shame!!! He felt so bad, the poor thing! I mean i cry quite a lot when i'm upset, but if u are tired that's it, it's like u can't cope anymore. But i don't really feel bad, pregnant u are all fragile & need support from your partner lots, lots of cuddles & attention (you so deserve it!!!) Luckyly u are on holidays, rest, rest and rest again, you'll feel so much better 4 it Nat

Recently I moved to Japan since the road rules are different we all had to take a driving exam. I failed the first time and just thought nothing of it. The second time I tried I thought I did really good and the lady still failed me. I started crying hysterically while I was in uniform in front of strangers and my husband. The Japanese lady felt really sorry for me and told my husband that she really wanted me to pass. My husband passed his test the second time around so I was very pissed off and was really ashamed of myself. I have never been this emotional I felt really stupid. My husband brought it up again the next week and once again I cried like a baby. I don't know if he thinks it's suppose to make me feel better to talk about it but come on he should have known better because I went off like a mad woman.

i don't know how to explain but i cannot stop crying once i start morning sickness is getting me down feeling sick and tried all the time i am only three months pregnant and i am getting worried about the effect it will have on the baby i feel like i cannot go through with it! i feel like i would rather be dead than carry on ilke this the stress of work and trying to be there every day is so bad i am trying to get through this week as i have just been offered a permant job in a different dept i am so worried about them finding out and not wanting to employ me does everyone else out there feel this way!

Hi
Im 24 weeks preggers and i know totally how you feel when i was 3 months gone i would lie on the toilet floor at work and cry because i was so sick of feeling sick and tierd! Work are not the best at understanding my needs as my boss is a fella so i had to cope with it but it does get better honest! I cry at everything from Eastenders to Something really silly everything seems really bad! Im still crying at everything but ive been told its totally normal so my advice is just to ride through your pregnancy and enjot when you can !!
All the best x

you sound very low but it is completely normal, all that is because of the hormones and all the change in your body.
It doesnt affect your baby normally but it is necessary that you feel better and soon.
Have you got your partner with you ? can you speak with him about that ? or a friend you trust ?

About the permanent position, i have been proposed a permanent position just when i discovered i was pregnant too. I told them just before starting, i was 3 months pregnant and i had the job and will be now on maternity leave for 1 year so you see, everything is possible.

It is not easy to be pregnant, everybody is expecting us to be happy, in a good mood but in fact, it affects us a lot and it happens a lot that women really wonder if they really want this baby finally. i have been one of them and sometimes i just cried without any reason, just a deep sadness. I discovered also recently that i was low in iron and that play a big role in the mood, see with your GP if you dont need some.
This is it for the moment, try to relax a maximum when you go home, lye down, take a bath, listen the music you like, speak with someone, call your friend, i hope it will be ok.
Let me know how you are feeling,
Good luck!

oh charlotte good luck and i wish you all best with the baby!
