Moments that make you go WAHHHHHH!

[Elyse84]

I had my well i cant say first - but definantly the most dramatic cry baby pregnancy moment last night Since being UTD i have cryed at many many inappropriot moments over ridicluse (sp?) things, but last night was so far and beyong normal pregnancy tears!!

I watched Marley and Me - now i think this would get me upset at the best of times, i mean it is a VERY say movie, but i think my reaction was maybe a little over the top! To say i was crying hysterically is an understatement - i dont think i even cried this much at peoples funerals! I actually got myself to the point that i vomited and then gave myself an astma attack because i was sooo worked up! I just couldnt calm down! This went on for well over an hour - if i wasnt UTD i truely beleive that DF would have given me a valium to calm me! I truely can not describe how upset i got - at a movie!!! and to be honest even when i think of it now i am tearing up again!

So I was just wondering - has anyone else got them self completely worked up over something as silly as this during pregnancy?? I am not talking normal pregnancy tears.. i am talking soul shaking, cant breath, DP alaming hysteria!

Elyse - i haven't seen Marley and Me - my SIL warned me not to see it while pg - simply because SHE seen it a while back and got so worked up that she wasn't coping... she hasn't been preggers since Sept 2004!!

my most horrific teary moment was watching the last season of McLeod's Daughters about half way through my pregnancy. the episode where Alex died - i just lost it soooooo badly! was watching it in the bedroom, had to stop the dvd, walk out to the loungeroom (bawling the whole way) and snuggle DH. the whole time i was saying to him "don't you f'n leave me, don't you dare get hurt, i can't do this without you" and he's sitting there wondering what was happening! i dragged him to the bedroom and made him stay with me while i watched the rest of the episode!

the other time was the weekend before Black Saturday - we had bush fires locally. i was perfectly calm talking to people online, monitoring it, and then DH and my bro decided it was time for me to leave (the smoke was getting to me). bro was getting ready to come out and help DH prep the house, and DH told me to go and pack some clothes for us. he went outside to keep wetting down the house and i just fell apart - the simple notion of packing a bag to take tore me up and i couldn't do it. DH had to come inside and pack the bag for me, put it (and me) in the car and send me away - i just wasn't physically capable of doing it!

it's funny how much the emotional changes in pregnancy make small things (movies/tv/ packing an overnight bag!) will ruin you - it's completely normal (unfortunately!)

Yes have certainly had a few of those moments!! The one that stands out is the time I had made banana cake for DH to take to work & I went to make the lemon icing only to find I had no icing sugar....
Well - I was inconsolable, anyone would've thought there had been a death. I could NOT stop crying!! I was so devastated. I couldn't go & get more icing sugar as DH was about to leave for work, which defeated the purpose of making the damn cake.
I sobbed & sobbed. DH tried to console me but everytime he said "icing sugar" I cried harder & howled "stop saying those words!!" All he could do was rub my back & let me cry.
Anyway DH eventually had to leave, he was already late by this stage. It was a night duty so I was alone all night. I tried to busy myself but cried for hours. Eventually I calmed down...but everytime I remembered what happened I burst into tears again!!
BTW DH took some cake to work without icing. But that didn't help me because it wasn't my plan & plus I felt like he was only doing it out of sympathy.

It is an emotional rollercoaster!!

I cried, and sobbed on the lounge after watching a taped episode of the biggest loser finale just recently....i was so happy, so emotional that all these people had lost some wieight and made a diff to their lives.....- my 3 yr old daughter was hugging me and patting me saying 'its okay mum, tis okay........'. I was a blubbering mess.....

[Elyse84]

Briggsy Girl - Totally understandable about the bushfires, its funny what will set you off. We were affected by the fires too, and like you i was completely calm the whole time, didnt fall apart not even when dad messaged us goodbye (he was caught in it - luckily he survived though) We had the TV on religiously watching the builtins and i didnt cry at all until DF said ok enough you need to get some sleep. The thought of turning the TV off was enough to set me off. Completly irrational that a TV would make me cry like it did - but i suppose it was just the catalyst. Althogh - DF didnt change the channel or turn the TV off for 6 days after that! Its strange how together you can be in situations like that, dealing with massive confronting issues can be done without a drama, but little things can send you over the edge.

and i so know what your talking about with Macleods Daughters - the episode where claire died... horrific! That show has a way of getting to you!

Cheezlemonster - You poor thing! and being home on your own after it!

While pg - I cry over food.

All hell breaks loose if I break the yolk. You have me in the corner crying and frustrated because its not working - DH standing over the food trying to make me feel better - to no avail.

He doesn't let me cook often when I am pg anymore. Between that and the burn marks on my stomach because I havent yet learnt to stand back a bit... LOL.

I cried over the story of Christian the lion story.Even the promos for it sent me weeping.Its just such an incredible story, oh great here I go again now Im welling up thinking of him

[Mrs BB]

I watched Marley and Me - now i think this would get me upset at the best of times, i mean it is a VERY say movie, but i think my reaction was maybe a little over the top! :bo

Dont worry - I watched Marley & Me the other weekend and did the EXACT same thing! haha

[Taurean]

I think Marley and Me would make any woman cry - pregnant or not!! I'm not usually teary when it comes to movies but Marley and Me got me going - especially the ultrasound scene! I'd read the book (which made me teary too!) so I knew what to expect but still those tears flowed! Even DH had a little tear, LOL!

I'm finding that I get teary over baby/parent things on TV (like the story on Sixty Minutes the other night about this gorgeous little boy with heart problems) and songs about 'love' and 'happiness' (gush, gush!) get me going as I never thought I could love something as much as I already love Tarko (of course DH is level in the 'love' stakes!). Oh, I also get teary when I get frustrated and cranky - which happens over the most stupid things these days! Poor DH and our gorgeous spoodle are living with a psycho at times!!

[Evie76]

smiles4u!!!! What a cracker............. you sound like you should be pg!!!

Just hilarious.

[smiles4u]

Oh " Evie " throw those devine warm fuzzy thoughts my way as we have been trying for #2 for nearly 2years now ... though from memory when i was preg (which i just loved) was the one stage of my life i didn't say or do anything nutty & didn't go wwwwahhh, LOL

[grub17]

ROFL - crazy, hormonal pregnant women!

but sadly i must put my hand up and join the group.

i had a wig-out while reading a book. it was one i got for dh about being a first time dad. it was really funny so i started laughing, which turned into an extreme wheezing sort of laugh (the book wasn't THAT funny) ... this then morphed into a wheezing, sobbing cry where i had stopped breathing and was just dribbling... then this turned into a laugh cos i was crying???
anyway i went to and fro between extremes for about 10 minutes and was so distressed was actually goign to call DH to ask for help! lol.it was like someone kept flicking a laughing then crying switch. biiizzaaarrroooo. DH thought it was hilarious.

we also just went away for three nights and i was patting the dog the morning before we left and actually said to her "i'm so sorry we're going away, please don't be hurt'' then burst into tears. .... dh watching (unbeknownst to me) and gave me a hug in between his laughing.

i think dh thinks its great entertainment... so elyse no you aren't crazy. it's just those crazy hormones.

one of my friends had told me already to steer well clear of Marley and Me a few months ago when we were doing our IVF cycle. i'll watch it in a few years me thinks! when i'm emotionally more stable. lol.

DF said he didnt feel like lamb for dinner i burst into histerics.
DF thought it was funny. Very funny.

[~Serenity~]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

i soooooo know how you feel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i watched it last week and was crying hysterically for AGES!!!! and was thinking the exact same things,

so glad im not alone

[Lolli]

Hehe this thread makes me feel better. The last week or so, I've been shocking every mornign till about midday- I cry over nothing. Three times I've rang dh at work, sobbing- the last time was over the fact that he forgot to put the stroller back in my car before he left for work, so I was without one all day.

I'm trying to organise our wedding ceremony service atm and it's just ridiculous, I tear up thinking about God knows how I'll be on the day.
