Forum : Pregnancy

dont worry its so normal to be all over the place during pregnancy im just the same i cry at the slightest thing and over the stupidist things (last night it was because i was in the shower and forgot to bring the new bottle of shower gel upstairs!)
as for the missing your parent bit i can totally relate to: im only 21 and i lived with my dad until he died when i was 14. i still cry for him now and think about him every day, its so difficult with-out him in my life and i feel like he should be here for such big events in my life. we were very close and sometimes i put on his jumpers and just sob and sob for ages then feel a bit better. but i cant help but think that if he were here then i wouldnt be upset so much and he wouldnt miss out on my baby coming. i think to my self its all your fault yur not here for me when i need you most and tend to blame him for dieing even though i know he couldnt stop himself! but then i feel selfish for thinking bad of my own dad. i dont see my mum and havent for a long time as she walked out on us when i was little so dad bought me up. i have been with my husband for 6 years this saturday and if my dad had not of died then i never would have met him and i would have never got married or pregnant. but it doesnt make the heart ache of loosing him any easier. my husband never met my dad and i just wish that he could have they would have got on so well. im not gonna tell you it gets easier because i dont know if it does or not. because some days i still feel upset as the day he died. but i know my dad will be looking down at me and my baby proud as punch just like your mum and dad willbe looking down on you guys

Hiya. You are totally normal, honestly you are.

I burst into tears walking to work yesterday as a sparrow flew into the ground and flew off again and I was convinced that the week thing was going to die. I also cried the hardest I have since I was a child when I stubbed my toe, my god you would think the world had ended!!!

As with the feelings towards your partner I can understand as well, I can't stand the sight of him sometimes and avoid him at all costs even though he was (is) my best friend and lover. I spoke to my midwife about it and she said if she had a pound for every mother to be that has said that then she wouldn't be a midwife but a retired millionare midwife.

keep your chin up love, your body is making a little person which isn't and easy thing to do. :-) X

I am 28 weeks and 28 yr old and also cry for no reason!
My husband was away with work last week, and the day he came home, I got really upset in the night time, and can't explain why. Should have been over the moon he was back.
Sometimes I will just sit in the bedroom on my own, especially when my husbands two boys are there on a weekend.
Not said anything to my midwife about this, but I am worried that if I am getting myself worked up now (which has been the case for about 2 month now) will it continue after the baby is born and will I suffer from post-natal depression?

Hi Toni, i hide in the bedroom too i feel i can relax there and not worry whos watching me, men dont understand and you cant explain why and how you feel. iam away with work alweek next week and have got to share a room nowhere to hide if i feel low.
iam 22weeks+.
dont worry about suffering from post-natal depression xx

hi i,m only 7 weeks and i,m all over the place cry at something really silly like my partner went 2 his mums lol why should that bother me . i dont no why but it did just feel really tearfull is this normal at the start of a pregnancy is there anything i can do 2 stop this as want 2 be happy about being pregnant?

hi melly247 i was also a bit weepy at the start but as you progress it gets better. you get used to being pregnant. right now you dont know whats hit you. its shock. i am 21 weeks pregnant now x

Hi if it helps i'm 24 weeks yesterday i cried because work and my sandwich went soggy in the fridge at work, then i cried because the conservatory man cancelled, then i cried because my bolognese didn't taste quite right, i had chronic backache which also made me cry.....I've had a great day today though felt bouncy all day and my bab has been bouncing along with me. pregnancy makes you fat and generally unhinged and I'm slowly learning to go with the flow.
