If you have ever been pregnant or been around a pregnant woman when they watch a happy or sad movie, when they feel stressed out or when they are just sitting there and nothing is actually happening? You know that they can be happy one minute, go into a psychcoatic rage the next minute and end up in tears by the end of the moment.
I can’t remember being so hormonal with the other pregnancies but with this pregnancy, I have been off the chart with these hormones. Since the beginning of this pregnancy, I have been crying at everything or going into a rage and yelling at everyone. I am not one that cries in front of anyone unless it is a huge thing. I don’t cry at funerals or other sad moments. This pregnancy, I cry at everything!
A couple of weeks ago, I started to hysterically cry and Doug just couldn’t understand why I was crying. So between breathes, I tried to explain that I was crying because the puppy was getting more of his attention then I was. All he could do was laugh which just made my crying even worse. I mean really, I was crying over being jealous of the puppy, I am going freaking crazy!
Then there are the movies and tv shows that make me cry… I love to watch my romantic movies but I have been craving the romance, almost like I was forcing myself to cry. Even my tv show choices have had me in tears! I watch my normal shows like NCIS and Hell’s Kitchen but Grey’s Anatomy and This Is Us has triggered tears just a few shows into the season. There is a new show, The Good Doctor, about an Autistic doctor learning how to communicate with his co-workers and patients. Every single episode has had me in tears!
Now, add all my tears to the crazy dreams that send me into rages when I wake up in the morning and it is surpsise that Doug is still alive. The other morning, I woke after another one of those dreams that he was cheating on me with some skinny, pretty girl, and just started hitting him with my pillow. All he could do was turn around with a smirk and ask if I had “one of those stupid dreams again?”! No, I was just wanting to hit you becuase I had a happy dream. In my baby mama group, this has been a repeating topic of discussion about the crazy cheating dreams we have been having even though we know they are not real or going to really happen. Crazy, Crazy Hormones!
Currently, I am torturing myself by watching Call the Midwife for the third time! How can I watch babies be born and not cry? I can’t so bring on the box of tissues while I survive the last 11 weeks of this pregnancy. Also, wish my friends and family luck while they deal with temporary hormonal insanity!
**Weekly Update: We had a growth check on Wednesday and Evelynne is looking great. She stuck her tongue out which made a cute picture. She is weighing in at almost 3 pounds and growing right on track. Everything is keeping closed like I need them to so we have graduated from the bi-weekly ultrasounds which is kinda sad because I loved seeing her so often but she lets herself be known by moving all day and night.
You just sound like a typical pregnant woman and that is completely fine. The 3D ultrasound picture is very cute!
I feel like the oddball out as when I was pregnant I didn’t really have morning sickness and I only had two hormonal episodes (one was uncontrollable laughter), otherwise, I felt pretty normal. I’m guessing I just got lucky because everyone else told me similar stories to yours.
Hormones during pregnancy can be crazy and intense. When I was pregnant, I remember getting worked u0 over the sappiest of things!
You sound just like I was when pregnant:)
I love this! I remember lashing out at my friend and then crying hysterically throughout the rest of the day. I literally lost my mind. Not looking forward to that next time around. But I guess it’s emotionally cleansing?!?
As up and down as you feel now you will treasure these memories (blog posts) down the track for sure. Its such a special time 🙂
Mmm, that sounds familiar. I was a hormonal mess during my second pregnancy!
There isn’t much more exciting than seeing those sweet baby moves in the womb! Sweetness!
And don’t worry – those hormones will balance themselves out…eventually!!
Ugh, I don’t miss that part! I had weird episodes when I was pregnant.
Oh I remember these times when I was pregnant. One time I cried hysterically because my husband asked me what I wanted to eat and I didn’t know what I wanted. Lol
Evelyn looks wonderful and you are coping up great. when I was pregnant most part of my day was to read and listen to news. It does have some effect on my kids too
