I was that way right after I had DS. It was like I had so many emotions I just couldn't hold it in.

I've been this way for a few days now...

It's wearing me out.

I started crying at the beginning of "ER" this morning because I knew it was the episode where Dr. Carter's baby had died in utero and his girlfriend was going to have to go through delivery. I didn't even watch the whole episode, and it still made me cry.

I stood in my kitchen at 3:00 this morning, crying while I cleaned because I was so frustrated with my 14 yr old son for, well, being 14.

I cried when I watched the battered woman episode on Oprah today.

Cried when I talked to my mother-in-law.

Cried when I went to pee earlier and saw no signs of impending labor...

Crying all the time.

And totally not like me.

I'm getting a bit sick of it. LOL

DS is 3 weeks today. In the last 24 hours I've only cried twice, but gotten teary a good dozen times. Granted it's also my first day totally alone with both kids and no help from Dh or my mom, but still ...

Know that I'm there with you. It doesn't take much or anything specific to get the tears-a-flowing around here.

Awwww, why you cryin'? I still like you and we talk about you all the time. In fact, tomorrow is devoted to an all day cook fest for your meals. Meals will be delivered on Friday. I might even bring you a surprise.


Ok, back to the regular thread. Don't worry mamas! The crying is normal. Raging hormones, I tell ya.

Yep, another crier here too!! I just about cried today because MIL stacked teh dishes in the dishwasher "wrong" (for the second day in a row I might add!!) and then put my wooden cutting board in a puddle of water, again. I cried talking to my mom about my grandmother (she died at Christmas). I cry when DH tells stories about helping people at work. I cry watching tv at least once a day....

It's normal, we're all just hormonal

I cried several times after having my daughter 3.5 years ago. This time, I didn't cry at all until like 8 days after birth, and it was totally justified. My husband made a DVD and he had a slideshow of baby pictures with John Lennon's "Beautiful Boy" playing. Well, of course I'm going to cry! That's the only time so far. With my daughter, I cried out of estatic "I'm a Mom!" feelings. I'm already a mom this time, and frankly I have had less time to think about it. I also suspect less hormones with a boy? Don't know.

I was like that too after dd1 was born. About 3-4 days after her birth, I suddenly got very weepy, and it lasted for a few days to a week. It felt so weird--I didn't really feel "sad" mentally; I just felt like crying! I think most new mothers have that at least for a little while. The hormones are out of wack!

[MommyTeesa]

Yeah, with DD I cried several times in the hospital, not once with DS. I cried once about a week ago, but other than that I"ve been pretty dange even emotionally until tuesday night.

[turnipmama]

I was weepy for two weeks after birth, now i am back to normal...i could cry at the drop of a hat!

[Eaglevoice]

I think I cried four times yesterday. Today I cried when Katelynn went up to Kylie while she was asleep and started singing to her, then she kissed her head and said, "I love you, baby."

Ok, now I'm crying again just thinking about it.

[Doula Gina]

Yes.
