feeling really emotional

[mama_daba]

it seems like i have gradually been feeling more and more sensitive and emotional lately. and very vulnerable. just over the past few days. i feel like this must be related to hormones and the end of pregnancy and all the changes going on. i'm extremely sensitive to seeing anything with babies (human babies and animal babies). anyone else feeling way more sensitive than normal? i also am feeling sort of fragile and vulnerable and spending a lot of time close to my partner. he is working from home and i try not to distract him when he is working but i also get this feeling like i really need to be close to him so i just go into whatever room he is in periodically to say hi. at this point he has no big projects just little things so i can bug him a bit more than normal.

I've been much more emotional, too. Last night my DH called to tell me he was coming home, and I started crying on the phone because I missed him so much. Little things get me going, too, like when dinner cooks too fast or too slow, or silly commercials on television.

yes, definitely!! I cry for very "silly" reasons. I really just want to be left alone and only really feel like sharing anything with dh. Yesterday, I had a very relaxing afternoon with my 3yo. Then dh and my 8yo came home and there was a lot more activity and the kids were arguing. I just felt so overstimulated I had to sit outside and cry. No body really knew what to do with me, including myself. Now, however, I feel very relaxed and centered. It really is a moment to moment thing, though. I hope this is a sign of getting closer.

Oh, yeah. I am easily overwhelmed and cry at the drop of a hat. On Friday dh called to say he was coming home late and I just bawled on the phone that I needed him home NOW. Normally I would not be thrilled, but, really, there was nothing going on that I couldn't handle.

I remember feeling this way the last couple of weeks that I was pg with Sofie too, so I definitely think it means I am close. I hope so. I am not sure my poor family can handle much more of me... :

Clingy and emotional? You're gonna have a baby soon

Me too! I've been crying a lot and the more I try to stop it, the worse it gets.

I have been watching baby story's for 9 months and they never really got to me but now, at the moment they pop out and they are kinda floppy and wet and so innocent, I cry. lol It is time I think, time to hold my own :0)

perfectly normal what you are going through. It is end of pregnancy hormones.

With my DS I was very emotional. Cried for no reason etc.

With this pregnancy I was angry with DH for anything and everything.

Poor man couldn't win.
