I'm feeling terribly emotional and teary...

Is anyone else feeling like this? The smallest things make me cry and I just don't feel like I'm coping that well on an emotional level. :(

Hi Mrsr
This is totally normal, when i was around 10 weeks I was at work and just started crying for no reason at all and couldn't stop. I had to go home for the day and whilst everyone thought it was quite funny I was so embarrassed!
Even now I find that small things will set me off where they wouldn't have bothered me before.
You just have to go with it and remember it's more than likely just all those crazy hormones floating around!
Take care
:)

Mrsr - I still experience those bouts of rampert hormones now! I find it gets worse when i am over tired or feeling rather exhausted... But i too cried at work (when i worked) during early pregnancy, i would just burst into tears over nothing at all!

A cuddle always helps me ;) but i think you will find in a few weeks you will have gained some energy and won't feel so drained and tired all the time and you will feel you are able to cope emotionally better and start enjoying pregnancy.

Work is like a distraction for me, I find it easier to fight back the tears but when I get home and feel like crying, it's like I'm made to feel that I shouldn't. I'm struggling really badly.

Its all normal. I sat on the floor crying my eyes out, and all because the silly fool at the mexican shop forgot my guacomole with my nachos !! DH had to go back and get it for me.

take care of yourself

I'm sooo tired of feeling this way...I just read that it improves in the second trimester so there's light at the end of the tunnel! :)

I didn't feel like this with #1 at all so it's a shock to my system.

It definately does improve in the second trimester.. well i found it did for me, but not until just after the 14 week mark. As i said before, i think a big factor is feeling so exhausted and feeling the need to sleep all the time. I think it would be harder for you possibly this time around because you have little James to keep you on your toes at home too! Maybe you can explain to Chris how you are feeling this time, and he can take care of James a little more until you get to that stage where you are feeling perky again, and just get some extra rest until then - i promise it will help, i went through the same thing ;)

Im still doing the "bursting into tears at the drop of a hat" along with being incredibly tired!. I usually sleep for 4 to 5 hours a night, at the moment, 10 isn't enough for me! lol

but im only 8 weeks.

I know how you feel. i started crying yesterday because my pen wouldn't work!!!!!!!!!!

it cant last, it cant last, it cant last lol

stay strong, never mind the tears, im sure it settles, as the other lovely BB guys have mentioned!

Thanks Catherine...James is 6 and pretty self-sufficient and good at amusing himself which is a god-send and Chris is spending the school holidays at home with him which I appreciate so very much!!

I just want this to stop now. I just teared up because my stapler jammed. I feel so pathetic!

Awww.. that's really nice of Chirs! I was really lucky with Daniel, he was fairly understanding (probably because he didn't want me to scream at him and it shocked him to see me crying because i'm not normally one to break down) and cooked for me, did the housework and even told me to finish up work so i could get in more rest - then when i finished work, he booked me in for massages and facials (i just realised what a sweetheart he is). I hope it's not only like that with first babies... But now that i am back on top of things (mind you i still have my days where i will just break down, or will get worked up over nothing and start screaming - i swear that's not my usual self) he will still give me a back rub. Now i just have to try and find things to fill my time... *taps nails on desk*

Best of luck Mrsr - they are nasty hormones and you are doing a good job of getting though it (hurry up placenta - take over!!) ;) If you ever need to vent, feel free to email me.

Me too Mrsr and I am just over 8 weeks as well, and I am told it gets worse LOL!! I started crying yesterday over a Dixie Chick's song that I had never heard before and last night I watch Greys Anatomy that my DH had taped for me the night before and I cried over that as well. It is just something that we have no control over. I was crying and smiling and saying to DH "why and I crying" LOL!! Just another of the wonderful symptoms of pregnancy!!

Neatisme!! LOL - Gray's Anatomy brings back memories now... i'm not a regular watcher - but i watched that episode when the guy proposed to the blonde and then died and that snow patrol song! I think i was about as far along as you are now... gawd i cried so much (i cried like a family member died) and everytime i heard the song - which was overplayed - i would break down and cry...

Ok, i'm off - sorry for hijacking thread..

Catherine, what's your email address?

It's in my profile Mrsr - but it's catherine.good@hotmail.com ;)

catherine, where can I find a DH like urs??? Well girls, the hormones do settle, but you are never as immune to emotions as you were pre baby. When I fell with Kat, I'd cry over nothing. I remember one night when I was in hysterical laughter singing "Gloomph went the little green frog" and the next thing I know I'm crying telling DH I missed my mum! (I'd only seen her two days before!). I even cried when they took babe away from his mum in Babe and when Fly's pups were sold!!! Even after my pgcys, Dh banned any show that showed sick kids (so most doccos were out) because I'd bawl my eyes out and it's worse again now I'm pg again. I hate that I went from tough nut to crying over everything, but all that keeps going thru my mind is "whatif that were my baby/child?" "how does that child feel?" etc. ANd I end in tears again!
Pregnancy and mothering emotions. Lots of fun, but the connection you have to your bubs is sooooo worth every tear!
