Someone Asks Women The Silliest Thing They Cried Over During Pregnancy And They Deliver 30 Responses
Pregnancy can be a beautiful thing, some moms even experience a pregnancy 'glow,' but for the miracle that making a new life is - getting through those nine months can be pretty emotionally rocky. Women can feel like they are going nuts from all the mood swings brought on by all the pregnancy hormones and for the people around them, it can be hard to keep up.
One of the many hormonal side-effects is crying over the most random things. According to Lucy Puryear, M.D., psychiatrist and author of Understanding Your Moods When You're Expecting, this is a staple of the first trimester in particular. "Estrogen and progesterone are skyrocketing at the beginning of your pregnancy," she explained to Parents magazine, "The changes have big effects on your mood. You can be tearful one minute and happy the next."
To get an idea of just how major these mood swings are a Facebook group decided to ask women to share the silliest thing they cried over during their pregnancies. Scroll down to check out the ridiculously hilarious answers and don't forget to upvote your favs!

Agreed! but, try doing that when you are still deployed....my wife had a breakdown like that and I was stuck getting the email, replying the best I could in 5 minutes, and going on a foot patrol for a week. I wasn't sure if my attempts to help worked or not the entire time. It turns out that I calmed her a little, but her friend did the rest to reassure her.

Good husband. Takes a good man to know how to deal with mood swings. Just past halfway through my second pregnancy. Had my first mood swing of the pregnancy today.

I had the mustard cravings and called my neighbor's mother in my old neighbor can she get me some mustard. I truly understand.
The first trimester is marked by 'tears and forgetfulness', according to Parents magazine. "You're wearing your emotions on your fingertips, so you're much more reactive to everything," Jennifer L. Hartstein, Ph.D., a family therapist in New York City tells the outlet. "After your meltdown, you can get freaked out, thinking, What is wrong with me? This will get you upset all over again. Just remember that it's normal, and try to laugh it off and move on."

My mood swing today. Worked hard cleaning and sorting baby clothes. Wanted cookies and milk. Found out we were fresh out of cookies. Cried while eating chocolate covered pretzels instead. Wondered why I was crying over cookies. Remembered I just passed the halfway mark of my pregnancy, when my pregnancy mood swings usually start.

Grabbing the sausage naked is how they got into this fix in the first place!
Ever heard of pregnancy brain? This occurs in the early stages of pregnancy and is the result of sky-high levels of progesterone or the "calming hormone." Dr. Puryear told the outlet, "When I was pregnant with Parker, I once put my older son Peter's Legos in the refrigerator, and then I tried to serve him a cup of keys to drink!" says Caroline, a mom of two who lives in Oklahoma City.

I feel you girl. I was pregnant with my second child and craving a mint oreo blizzard. We got to Dairy Queen and they told me they didn't have mint. Needless to say I was pissed, stormed out and sat in the car crying. We went back 20 minutes later to get something else.

Lol! My workaround for that was: put the groceries as far up the stairs as I could reach and then walk up to them holding the rail, pick them up, and repeat until I reached the top.
Don't worry about all the tears because the second trimester delivers unbridled giddiness! Morning sickness dissipates and you begin to feel the baby move. It is possible that instead of spontaneous crying you will experience spontaneous giggles. In addition, you are more likely to be "in the mood" frequently thanks to all the blood pumping through your body.

I did it the same... pregnant with my second son..I left the older one at my parents house for one night ( preparing him for the days when I would be in hospital for labour)..he was the happiest kids in the world for this "adventure" ..and litteraly sent us home (he is 3 year old)... 20 meters away from my parents house I was crying In the car..I asked my mother, he didn't cry..
Thought the blues were over? Well, it all comes back around in the third trimester, which is marked by crankiness and power-nesting. The euphoric stage ends and pregnant women find themselves crabby and uncomfortable. There is an increase in oxytocin, the nesting hormone, which can manifest into powerful urges to clean and organize.

You know, I wonder if this is why some people I know picked the house next to the local ice cream and sandwich shop? 🤔. I think the wife was pregnant at the time lol
So how do you deal with all the ups and downs?! First, take comfort in knowing you aren't alone and that the out of control hormones are all a part of the process. Talk to other moms or soon-to-be moms for some emotional solidarity and advice. You can laugh or cry together. "If you're crying consistently and feeling down for more than two weeks without any pleasurable moments in between, or feeling worthless or hopeless, ask your healthcare provider for help," says Dr. Puryear. Postpartum depression can begin even before babies are born.

My mom, woke my dad up a 2AM because she wanted strawberries. He told her everything was close, but she started crying that she wanted strawberries NOW. My father got out trying to find a place that was still open, after driving around for an hour he found a gaz station that was also selling some goods. They didn't have fresh strawberries, so he bought strawberry jam instead. When he came back home, my mother was sleeping peacefully...

Yep, British colloquialism. To us not all loos are in, or referred to, as bathrooms - might just be the loo and a handbasin, which is often called a cloakroom if near the front door. Or a loo may be in a shower room. Brits don't really say 'go to the bathroom'. Just as likely to say going for a pee or to the loo, or lavatory, or to the toilet. The Duchess of Cambridge's mother got into trouble for saying 'toilet' in front of the Queen... it's considered 'common' to say toilet by some. There - a 'wee' bit of background to UK lavatory terminology!

Lost the receipt?, over here you you are not entitled to refunds on any food unless the store is at fault, wrong item given or something wrong. Bought the wrong thing or changed your mind?, no refund or exchange on perishable goods.

I can beat that, I cried because hubby wouldn’t drive to the store and get me York Peppermint Patty’s. I was craving them badly, he finally couldn’t stand my crying, left our house in the middle of a Wyoming blizzard to get me those patty’s. Still won’t let me forget it and the child I was pregnant with will be 41 in December.

I flat out had a meltdown when my now ex husband brought me a regular sized Snickers and not the king sized when I was pregnant with our daughter. Legitimate full on ugly crying. He wouldn't go back out for the right one. I ugly cried/ate that pitiful little candy bar and went out the next day and stocked up on the KING SIZED Snickers. Now, 18 years later, I hate Snickers bars.

I have two.... When I was prego with my oldest (almost 18 years ago God Help me) I was craving Chinese food soooo bad. I had a dear friend whom said "Baby girl if you and that baby want chinese food, you shall have it." he handed me a 100 dollar bill (there were a few friends over too) and he said, go get me X,Y,Z and with the rest you can get whatever you want. I don't want change back.... So I did, came back with mountains of food. The instant I opened the container, the smell made me sick and I couldn't eat it. I bawled my eyes out because I wanted it but couldn't and I felt horrible for wasting his money. He just laughed and said more for me. Greatest friend ever. The second was the stupid Simpsons. At the end of the credits, there's a baby in an ultra sound that laughs....I lost it and cried my eyes out for no reason. lol

My husband was such a jerk when i was pregnant :/ He brought us subway because it was the only thing i could eat i was so nauseated the whole pregnancy. He wouldn't watch our baby so i could eat it, he walked off and i couldn't get to it for 30 minutes and it was soggy by that point and i threw up from trying to eat it. Another time I caught a bad flu and i was so horrifically sick on top of the constant nausea and he just walked away from me saying he had to go to work and we had a big fight that he had to stay home to take care of our son because i couldn't get away from the toilet. Wish I had the fickle reasons above to cry over when i was expecting :(

SOOO I was pregnant during Shamrock Shake season and I came home with one after running around with my mom. It was only half gone, I set it on the counter and went to pee. Well my ex came home thinking it was old and he would be helpful he tossed it. I came out to my shake gone and LOST.MY.S**T. He offered to go get a new one to which I cried that I did not want to be alone while I was a wreck so he (logically) replied that I could go for the ride too and he would drive.... I screamed "DO YOU THINK I WANT TO GO OUT LIKE THIS LOOK AT ME RIGHT NOW". he ust threw his hands up and walked away at that point . The only other meltdown I had was near the end of pregnancy. My ex had gone upstairs to get on comfy clothes but I didnt want to get off the couch so he grabbed mine without me having to ask, he walked down the stairs and I BURTED into tears . He ran over asking if someone died because I was crying so damn hard lmao;

I had an absolute meltdown because I hadn't done dishes from the day before and my husband came home early with takeout to surprise me. I screamed at him about disrespecting me by coming home early when I still had dishes to do and started crying because he brought home pizza that I'd been craving for several days. I continued to cry because he was breathing funny and I thought he wanted to divorce me because of the way I was acting. We were happily married and divorce had never even been a thought in my head. When I remembered that I had pork chops for dinner in the fridge I started crying again because it was an absolute waste of money to buy pizza when we had food at home. He mumbled something about me sounding like my mother and I kicked him out of the living room so I could sleep on the couch in peace. It wasn't even dark yet. My one and only pregnancy mood swing.
