super emotional?

[crayfishgirl]

I'm 13.5 weeks along and have been an emotional basketcase for the past three days....crying over things that don't merit tears, getting overly upset at news stories, having to close my office door and cry because I'm worried whether this baby is okay. My husband says I had periods like this with my daughter, but he doesn't remember when (and neither do I). I don't know if I'm hyper-sensitive because I lost my last pregnancy, if there's something wrong with me, or if this is completely normal for this time in my pregnancy (or pregnancy in general).

It really felt like it came out of nowhere and I feel like a total nutjob.

I was exactly the same with my first pg. With my son, I worked as a restaurant manager. I was in my first trimester and hadn't told anyone I was pregnant. So I spilled some hot coffee on my chest...it hurt a bit. But for some reason it set me off and I couldn't stop crying. I would think I was all composed and try to go back out on the floor and seat people or whatever and I just would start crying infront of customers . I had to go home. Lol, yeah my coworkers thought I was a nutjob...I mean it was just a little coffee right? This time around I haven't felt so emotional. But I know what you are going through s.

I was an emotional wreck with my recent pregnancy. I'd be weepy, mad, tired, frustrated, short on patience, and sad by suddenly shifting turns. I'm certain I was a nightmare to be around. At about week 14, DH made some comment about not being sure he could survive another pregnancy with me, and I tried to be a little less vocal after that. But it was terrible, like PMS all the time. Darn hormones! I think it did get better after about week 21, so maybe your's will ease up too.

With both of my DDs I have been a horrible hormonal wreck!

With DD1 I cried at funny commercials on tv!

This time, Ill admit I have had a lot to push me over the edge (moving away from my family, a high school friend died in Afghanistan and I couldnt get home for his funeral...)

I bawled five times this morning ALONE over the SAME THING!

And the other day my DH jokingly said NAG NAG NAG when I asked him to grab a pen for me and I burst into tears because I have been so sensitive about being lazy... I have SPD and it hurts REALLY bad to get up for something so small.

I was so emotional during the first 10 weeks, and didn't even "really" know that I was pregnant. I couldn't decide if I needed to go to a therapist for depression, or get a pregnancy test or BOTH!

It got better with me, a little easier. My hormones seemed to balance out pretty quickly, but there are still days when a song I have heard a thousand times will make me cry, or simple kitchen mishaps send me into a hysterical tizzy. pregnancy hormones!

Ack hormones! I was just watching re-run of Pixar's Monster's Inc & was practically bawling! Sigh....

And the emotions and crying seem to come back in third trimester! Yesterday I started crying when DH and I were out for our evening walk, because I was thinking about how none of our family members live within 500 miles of us, and our baby will not have any extended family nearby (that's another topic I guess). And today, a good friend's dog passed away, so I cried about that. I guess that's all normal though. I'm afraid to watch any movie because invariably I'll start bawling!
