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.....

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!

[Inertia]

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.

[kitten76]

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

[Evie76]

I was in so many tears last Sunday because I couldn't find the pants I like to wear!!!

I was inconsolable. My poor DH. Then I started crying because I said something mean to him and didn't mean it at all - about the pants.

My dad then rang to see what we were doing for the day and I couldn't talk. So my mum and dad were then worried about what on Earth had happened to me. When I snapped out of it I rang them and said I was just having a really silly moment - they caught me at a bad time.

I burst into tears a few weeks ago when I opened a pack of m&ms and every single bloody one was yellow.

I have always DETESTED the colour yellow. Husband just laughed. I didnt think it was very funny at the time.

Just watched the movie Bolt for a 2nd time...and cried again too.

[Rooey5]

Hehe, this is a story Mum told me.

When she was pg with me, she and Dad had just bought their first home. Mum was very pg, and her new washing machine turned up in the delivery truck. So the young bloke doing the delivery brought it in, hooked it up and told Mum it was ready to go. She was all excited and came into the laundry to have a look and...it was the wrong colour.

Mum said she burst into tears straight away!!! The poor delivery guy was straight on the phone to his boss saying "I have a really pregnant lady here and the washing machine's the wrong colour!" Poor bloke packed up the machine, went and got her the proper colour and installed that one

Ahh, something to look forward to

[LimeSlice]

I can so relate to that!!
Im not even pregnant and I cried my eyes out watching Marley and Me!!!

Im a crier anyway though - not sure why - I burst into tears listening to songs on the radio, ads on TV, I was uncontrollable tonight watching Desperate Housewives, I cry for no reason at the gym watching video clips and running on the tredmill! lol

Cant say Ive ever made myself vomit though

The worst was definitely watching The Notebook 4 months pregnant....that was not pretty - I was crying in the first 5 minutes!! Made DH cry too though so I felt better - I could cry with abandon! rofl

[Evie76]

I'm sitting here crying at flaming All Saints - someone just found out a lady is holding a baby in a bus accident.

I'm just gone now........... after watching Find My Family too!! After some lady had to give up her baby!! AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGgg................

[angelaartsstudent]

I just burst into tears watching "The Zoo"

Oh man, I'm obviously rather hormonal tonight.

[ezymay]

LOL oh yes I had lots of outburts when PG. One that stands out is one night we had ordered take away and we were eating on stable tables in the lounge and I had gotten a glass of milk and as I sat down I spilt it every where. I cried and cried. Hysterically and inconsolably literally over spilt milk. DH didn't know what to do, he was in shock so he just cleaned it up!
You are not alone!

I may now sound like the crazy person here ... but a few weeks ago my electric can-opener finally died & i just burst into tears ... to get an understanding it's very easy as it was the last 'household item' i owned since having left home as a teenager (well sadly thrown out of home by my parents to be exact) nearly 25 years ago ... yeh, that's one old can-opener ... DP walked in the door after work seeing me give my can-opener a ' good-bye kiss ' & said to it with tears & in a joking voice "Thanks for always being there for me all these years " to head out the back door to throw it in the bin. I strangely felt like i should have buried it as it was kinda a friend for 25 years after all
P.S - .. And i'm NOT pregnant, LOL !!!

[LimeSlice]

oooh was that one of those phillips ones with the flip up arms???

[smiles4u]

Nah LS, ... it's a um correction 'was' a Kmart cheapy brand called KitchenMaster all those years back, ... so i'm guessing you've got another few years left in yours, LOL

[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
