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!

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."

A lot of the food stories now make me wonder if I am pregnant. Gotta go pee on a stick.. I hope there isn't a different type of stick for guys, we just have the ladies one.

You don't need to be pregnant to be upset about this. It is infuriating in all conditions!

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.

re: Divorce suggestion...completely plausible and nobody would blame you at all for doing so.

So your husband is a fool because you did not describe properly what you wanted. Not much respect for your husband it seems. Cant see this marriage lasting very long.
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.

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.
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.

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 :(

Cried because I saw some people with children stranded by the side of the road. The children were dressed to go to the national soccer team's game in my home town. They refused my offer to give them a ride, as there was already someone on the way to pick them up. And also, who would get in the car with a crying stranger? Cried some more after they refused.

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 honestly had a hard time with pregnancy but somehow when the baby is born you forget all the bad things. But I remember I cried on baby and puppy adverts on TV. I also cried because I my husband got me rubicon passion instead of rubicon mango, it was one of my 3 only cravings.

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.

I almost lost my mind at hubs at a red lobster. I got my fave meal that was wonderful. He said he was going to the bathroom, instead, snuck off to the gift shop to get me a t shirt I'd laughed my butt off about. Problem was...he brought me a 3X. Even VERY pregnant, and Large would have been more than roomy. I almost threw it at him when we got in the car. But I spent dessert trying not to burst into tears. LOL I was wacko pregnant.

I once cried because I dropped a frozen pea and it rolled under the sofa and I couldn’t get it out and I was alone in the house. All I wanted to eat at that point was frozen peas, and I had emptied the last bag to my bowl and now I could not eat them all, because one was under the sofa.... I do not miss that aspect of being pregnant! Even I thought crying about it was strange when it happened, but I cried anyway! Oooh, the upset! 🙄😂

When I was pregnant with my first and the remote fell behind the couch. I couldn't get it and my husband was laughing at me. I cried... a lot, then screamed at him. I also got biscuits and gravy one morning. Of course, I took my dogs with me and while I was getting fuel they ate my biscuits and gravy. With my second I didn't cry as much. I only cried when my husband decided to watch a Dog's Purpose (disclaimer: do not watch this while pregnant).

Why is it that when people don't know how to respond to a woman's emotions it's immediately assumed she's PMSing?? It's annoying. Instead of assuming/blaming it on her "pyramid", did you actually take the time to find out the reason for her reaction? I mean she was your wife and it was the 1st time she acted like that in your presence...wouldn't you be concerned?
