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!)
