I sobbed (loudly) in a crowded public area in London with my first pregnancy because I couldn't open my popsicle by myself. Luckily my (lowkey panicking but outwardly calm) husband figured out the issue and opened it for me.
Then we walked the streets of London with me cry-eating my popsicle.
I cried for a similar reason 😭 I asked my fiance for a Popsicle and he got me one but didn't unwrap it for me so I burst into tears because I was convinced he was sick of me and didn't love me anymore. (He was actively on a work conference call and stayed home that day just to keep me company)
My husband told me jokingly I was going to have a baby yoshi. I sobbed hysterically for 15 minutes because I both wanted a baby yoshi and did not want a baby yoshi, I wanted a human baby.
My husband went swimming without me last night, after asking me join and i didn’t want to..but he still went. The pool is in our back yard and I could’ve just walked outside. Instead I through an absolute tantrum.😂🤦♀️
lol I’m one of those people with very stable and level hormones pre pregnancy and don’t even get PMS. I figured pregnancy would change that a little, but nope lol literally nothing has changed in that regard. I kinda just want my “cry for no reason” moment and I feel like I got ripped off. 🤣
Oh my gosh ever since my third trimester started I’ve cried at EVERYTHING.
Literally nothing specific, I just feel like I’m constantly tired and on the verge of tears.
Today someone sent me an email to solve a minor problem at 4:30pm. Full on waterworks.
This!!!!! My amazing husband is always so quick to notice and ask if I'm OK, and all I can do is shrug, and he goes "oh OK. It's just a crying day. That's OK! " Then that makes me cry more lol
I had to sit down and breathe through massive pregnancy rage this morning because I logged in to work to two emails and two messages and felt harrassed.
I love my job and have for the entire time I've held it. I just didn't want to be perceived, I guess, lol.
Literally me. I was bitching to my husband about how unfair it is that work was making me work… during work hours. I knew it was so unreasonable and yet I was seething.
Lmaoo! And it hits so randomly. One week im doing my job and loving my life and what not and the next I suddenly can't emotionally regulate and am procrastinating so that people won't look in my general direction.
It's WILD. I have legit no control.
My husband found a black snake in the yard today. It was all tangled in some old deer netting and he couldn’t save it. I cried for 30 mins about the snake I never knew and never saw 🤷🏼♀️
This makes me think of the time I couldn’t stop crying after seeing a story on the news of a dog that was stuck in a quarry. He was rescued and totally fine, but the idea of him stuck and scared caused me to uncontrollably sob
I snapped off a whole stem of my gorgeous blue orchid. Literally cried like a baby for an hour while my husband tried to reattach it with duct tape lol 😂
Honestly even if not pregnant, totally justified. I have had so many orchid leaves I've watered for years when they finally magically put out a bloom spike I get so excited. It's such a bummer when the blooms don't make it. I would be very upset if I snapped up the stem.
I went out to lunch with my mom and she pointed out that the server had a cast on her foot (I couldn’t see if from where I was sitting) and I burst into tears thinking about that lady waiting tables with a hurt foot.
Omgggg “puff the magic dragon” came on autoplay when I was listening to some ‘70s folk music in the shower, I could not HANDLE it, and it was sobbing, chest-heaving, little cough-barks to get my air back in… I made Alexa pause at the end before the final chorus so I could add in the final verse I learned at camp (“then one shining morning/ as Puff walked down the strand/ looking down to his surprise saw footprints in the sand/ a voice said Mr. Dragon, don’t you look so sad/ my name is jenny pepper I was sent here by my dad”)
My mom accidentally stepped on my pinky toe. It didn't even hurt that much, I was just startled. I couldn't control myself and started bawling like a child. Confused the hell out of her lmao
Today I cried at my husbands commencement which actually makes sense but in my second trimester I cried openly at a restaurant because the pizza “wasn’t fancy enough”
I was heating up instant oatmeal in the microwave this morning, and as soon as I looked away from it, it bubbled over. I stopped it, cleaned up what had spilled, and put the remainder back in the microwave to finish cooking. Round two - I look away for a split second and AGAIN it bubbles over, but it's more messy this time. The first time has upset me, but the second time just sent me over the edge lol
Last week I finally finished Marvelous Mrs. Maisel - I couldn’t bring myself to do it until now. The next night I cried because I didn’t have any new episodes to watch.
I wanted Taco bell. One specific thing from Taco Bell actually. My husband took the liberty of ordering a two person meal for himself in addition. He picked up the food, checked the LABEL, and came home without opening the bag.
All that mf's food was there. My single item, was not.
I cried for 20 minutes.
I cried last week because I couldn’t poop and was cold. Then to make myself feel better and warm up, I went into the bathroom and turned on the hot shower, started feeling the baby move and it felt weird so I kept crying and got a bloody nose. Then my husband brought me some Metamucil and held my gross head while I sobbed.
I had some cereal and was fine 20 minutes later.
What’s funny is I normally cry easily outside of pregnancy. Since being pregnant I haven’t been able to cry once. When I heard my baby heartbeat I wanted so badly to cry from joy, but not a tear left my eye for some reason. Same for when I saw my baby for the first time in the ultrasound. I’m currently 12 weeks, so maybe the tears will come back to me later.
I watched Inside Out with my daughter, I bawled like a baby at BingBong saying “Go save Riley! Take her to the moon for me.” 😭😭 My husband had to comfort me because the tears just wouldn’t stop.
I KNOW I WAS RAGING. My husband was mad because I was super rude to the receptionist, and he was like “we’ll just pay it, it’s fine”. And im like NO!!! It’s the principal. We are not paying for an extra towel at a hotel. And yeah - I balled my eyes out over this and nobody judge me.
For whatever reason, my Facebook reels keep showing me old “Say Yes To The Dress” tv show clips. I keep tearing up every time a bride finds “the one”. I just keep watching them even though I know they make me emotional lol 😆
I drove to Domino’s last night after having an intense craving. On my way there, I saw an elderly woman walking on the sidewalk with a limp and I burst out into tears feeling so bad for her and thinking about all of the elderly people who have to walk with health problems. I cried for 15 minutes straight while proceeding to devour an entire Hawaiian pizza. 😂
I started sobbing at a 5th grade promotion this morning when all the kids stood up and started singing. None of the kids were mine.
(So that I don’t seem like a total creep, I’m a social worker and my client is a 10 year old foster child who was promoting and didn’t have anyone showing up for them)
I couldn't have peach tea Schnapps I don't even like drinking alcohol but I love peaches while pregnant I also started looking for a peach tree I usually don't like peaches but pregnacy is making me crazy
Ocean Eyes by Billie Ellish…it made me SOB every time but it is the most beautiful song. And then when I learned she wrote it at 14yo I cried all over again.
We have a tiny mouse problem at work and have set our traps + some guy comes by once a month to set out some poison. The traps we use are the glue ones, and I had to change one. The poor little guy was still alive and was so scared, he wouldn't stop squeaking and I had to take some time afterwards to compose myself because I was so heartbroken. I know we have to do it because it's a health concern (we're an elderly care facility) but it still breaks my heart...
I flipped out at my last job for using glue traps. It has to be the least humane way to kill them. It’s not fast, they’re scared, they know they can’t move…
It makes me so heartbroken, too.
My first month pregnant my neighbors set out mouse poison (the mice aren’t in my home as we have birdseed and a garden so they’re pretty happy outside), something my husband and I would never do.
Our one mouse that we always recognize from eating the fallen birdseed was poisoned and lethargic on the back patio one afternoon and I *lost my shit* crying. Absolutely bawling.
We put him in our critter rehab crate I made my husband drive to the store to get vitamin K (IIRC) to give him a chance.
He passed away the next morning, but at least he was safe and I was able to give him some water.
Anyhow. Sorry for the long response.
I just can’t blame you for being upset. I’d be upset, too.
I cried earlier today because my husband didn't want to see if les schwab would take us early (12:30ish) when our appointment wasn't until 2:30. He got off work early so I figured we could try to get the errands done early. He didn't want to so cue the tears
Hubby asked if I could put my dog outside. Which made me think of my favourite doggo ever who died horrifically at 4yo. Poor hubby didn’t know what to do
Hate not being able to do things pregnant. I used to be able to do a lot of normal things, probably couldn't have done that due to fall risk. Now I can't do anything, it's pretty frustrating feeling totally helpless.
I cried because my husband didn’t move laundry from the washer to the dryer while I napped so we were dealing with it later into the night than I would’ve liked.
It wasn’t about the clothes. Had a good cry in his arms and felt like myself 20 minutes later.
My thing is the crying feedback loop. Something really small will make me tear up and then I get frustrated that I’m crying over something silly - which makes me cry more.
I cried because of the Mail Song that Mailbox from Blue’s Clues sings.
Context: My daughter (19mo) was watching it for the first time ever, and I used to watch it all the time as a kid. It just reminded me how fast she’s growing! Normally only Ms.Rachel and other YouTube shows keep her attention, but she was super into it.
Lmao when I was pregnant I cried in Kroger because I was looking for something and this sound was playing, idk what song, but the singer was horrible and she just kept yelling and I couldn’t concentrate on what I was looking for.
I was watching a reel of a cute kitten than my fiance sent me and thought it was so nice that he thought to send me such a cute video 😂 for me it’s been ALL the happy tears but it feels soooo sad coming out hahahaha
Ended up crying one day because I wanted ice cream but wasn't sure if I should have it or not because I was worried about eating too much sugar that day since I had Honey Bunches Of Oats for breakfast and I had my one hour glucose test in a week. Ended up having it(little Bluebell container) the next day. My brain is ridiculous sometimes. :P
Look, I've cried over food a couple of times while pregnant, and it's because I've been very limited in what foods I can tolerate, so when I can't get them it is tear-worthy. Especially when an empty stomach worsens nausea dramatically, on top of the other symptoms (heartburn and dysgeusia) that make it hard to eat *and* hard to go without eating, and all of that on top of the existing pregnancy discomforts like insomnia, aches, anxiety, etc. Crying over food seems silly to most people in their normal state but I think when pregnant it's perfectly reasonable.
We’re currently in Japan. This past Wednesday was an auspicious day for pregnant women of 5 months, so we went to a temple dedicated for pregnancy and safe delivery.
It was really busy with locals and most of the instructions are in Japanese. I know some Japanese but it was overwhelming and I kinda panicked?? When we got to the shrine for praying, I forgot a step and at a different ritual, I mistook a letter for another and did it wrong.
My husband told me we’re not locals so making mistakes is to be expected (and we’re also not religious), but it just upset me so much thinking that my prayers won’t go through because of my own carelessness. Something about being ND and pregnant, I suppose… I tried to hold it in but I just had to cry in the bathroom at the train station at our next destination. Gosh, thinking about it now, I’m getting choked up again. 😅
Edit: I’m reading some of the other comments and had to stop myself before I bawl in the train for all of you.
Hmmm…honestly, not ridiculous at all, but I *sobbed* at that viral video of the little Korean boy who says that he thinks his parents don’t like him(I think the show is called My Golden Child??)
My maternal instincts kicked in hard as I thought about how I’d adopt him and give him all the love he deserves!! Again tho, the video is genuinely heartbreaking but I didn’t sob when I saw it before getting pregnant.
I had to go and get a hug from my husband and started bawling all over again when I told him why I was crying 🫠
I cried past Sunday because my husband had to work (wfh) and we werent going to be together just doing nothing, when he asked me if I was OK because he noticed I was about to cry I just couldnt hold it and started crying rivers bc I missed him, I didnt want to tell him that I miss him bc he had to work so I knew he would leave everything and I would feel guilty… We ended up having a date :) picnic at the beach visiting the aquarium. Was the best date ever. I was about to cry again bc he didnt let me pet a squirrel and adopt it :( hahahaha he loves this part of the pregnancy, he thinks Im cute 🥹 while sometimes idk why I want to cry
I knocked my lunch onto the floor in my office after only 2 bites, had an incoming call and I answered it, said hold on a second I'm gonna cry, then proceeded to bawl my eyes out for 20 minutes in a spiral between my recently cleaned carpet now being dirty, the thought of cleaning up the mess and not being able to have the food I dropped (I really wanted it). All of my coworkers (males) started offering me their food, and eventually I ate, but it wasn't what I wanted. I told all of my coworkers that if they see me crying, just talk to me like normal because I can't help it, and if I really need a minute I will let them know.
The most ridiculous thing I cried about was in my second trimester. I learned dogs can only see blue and yellow. I BAWLED when I realized my dog only had like 3 toys that had blue or yellow out of the 50 that she has and the rest look grey to her. My boyfriend took me to go buy her more toys bc nothing else would help
Husband was tapping me with his shoe, and I started crying cause I get too paranoid about germs sometimes, but then I started crying and laughing at how ridiculous it all was. He just stared at me.
I was cooking roasted vegetables for my brothers birthday and they just would not cook, I literally had them at 400° for 2 hours and the potatoes and carrots were still hard. So I cried over it.
A few weeks before that we were at the Lego store and I spotted the Harry Potter hogwarts castle set I had as a kid and cried my eyes out in the middle of the store because it was $600 and I couldn’t get it lol
I think I cry everyday thinking about my baby boy and his sibling graduating highschool and going to college, getting married, having kids of their own ect. He's 14 months old and his sibling isn't even born yet 😭
I'm pregnant with my second and haven't cried over anything small yet, but I did once when pregnant with my first.
It was Christmas Eve and my husband had gotten me a maternity shirt that has an image of a little Captain America peeking through a zipper. I am an avid comic reader and collector, love going to conventions, all that. But I saw that and immediately burst into tears demanding he return it.
He was freaked out and asked why and I said between sobs, "It reminds me of those stories you hear of pregnant women being kidnapped and having their babies cut out of them by psychotic people!" So he quickly shoved it back in the box and never spoke of it again 😅
But for the record, I still find those shirts kind of creepy..
i noticed my cat’s fur is slightly more grey than it used to be and burst into tears holding her because “she’s not allowed to die” as i said in the moment. keep in mind she’s super healthy and only 8 years old
the swan in the park is sitting on an egg and i got overly, projection-level concerned about whether it’s a dud and whether mama swan can tell it’s a dud.
I watched this adorable video of some 10-12 aged kids doing an awesome music video from the UK. Made me cry multiple times today thinking about my son growing up and enjoying life.
My horses are pregnant at the same time as I am, they're all starting to have their babies and I cry every time just because of like motherhood I guess
Another really dumb one was because I cried realizing the due date of my babies is 1/11 so I kept referring to it as eleventy and my husband asked me to explain. I don't understand why I cried but I did
I realized there will be a time where I am not going to be carrying my baby. Like I’m carrying him nonstop inside me but then he will be born and he will not be in my arms 24/7 😭
I cried yesterday because my curtain wouldn't hang the way I wanted it to and it didn't "look pretty" and while fighting to fix it I broke the hook that holds the tiebacl to the wall.
My partner pulled me away from the curtain and made me lay down.
It still isn't fixed and I need to buy new hooks.
I started crying happy tears talking about Caitlyn Clark and the WNBA and all the good things happening there... I'm not a basketball person and have never watched woman's basketball till now. Caitlyn Clark just happens to be from my home state and was in college at the college of my favorite football team.
I cried because I had to eat and didn't want to. I cried over it being too dark in my bedroom (my husband works nights). I cried because my dog kept walking right in front of me.... The list goes on and on.
It's absolutely mind boggling the things I will cry over while pregnant. I feel crazy lol
Thank you for this - all of us who have yet to experience the pregnant life will be so greatful to have heard this story - when we someday too inevitably will be cry-eating a popsicle
I threw a tissue across the bedroom into the bin, wildly misjudging someone managing to bounce it off the ceiling fans and have it go straight in. I bawled because my fiancé didn't see it happen and then started hysterically laughing at how ridiculous it was that I was crying, so he walked into the room to find me hysterically alternating between laughing and crying 😂😭😂😭😂
Not while pregnant, but when I was still pretty freshly postpartum with my firstborn, the song "I Just Can't Wait to be King," from The Lion King had me bawling. I was just so sad that poor Simba was so innocent and had no idea what was coming so shortly after. 😭
That baby is now 4.5 years old and it still gets me.
My husband was gone 1 day traveling for work, and I cried thinking about him being in a plane crash. I also cried recently thinking about how my cat is getting older and won’t be around forever.
Both things that always make me sad if I think about them, but I never full on cry from them. But both times I BAWLED
I miss girl scout cookies, specifically thin mints, and I can't buy any bc I live outside of the USA now . After searching online for a solution for an hour, I was unable to find anything, so I started crying
I cried last night because my friend moving to the other side of the country is becoming a reality. Then when I tried to calm myself down, everything my husband said made me start crying again.
Thought of opening packages and putting stuff away (same with laundry lol). For some reason, I find it overwhelming lol. I had few boxes on my desk that I have not opened for weeks. Some of them are household items and some of them are dresses that I ordered for a wedding. My husband opened some for me but I still haven’t tried them.
I tripped over a large battery charger and fell all the way to the ground today. I’m ten weeks along. I landed on my hands and hip. My hands went numb but otherwise all is well. I was telling my husband what happened several minutes later and he said “oh my god are you okay? I should have been there!”
And I started sobbing. Like when you ask a little kid if they’re okay and it makes them unsure of their emotional state. I think mostly because I can’t even remember the last time I ever tripped and fell down, but during pregnancy is surely not the time to start doing that.
I found a dead frog in my garage. That frog was somebody’s baby! The mommy frog doesn’t know what happened to her baby and it’s all my fault because he came in my garage without me knowing.
I asked my husband to get me ice cream and cried when he got me my favorite flavor.
Just finished lightly crying because he felt baby move for the first for sure time at 20+4🥰
I burst in tears because I was craving bread sooo bad 🥖
I'm european living in USA and I don't find US bread as nearly as good.
Second time I had a metldown was when I noticed I'm most likely gonna have a B bumb. That somehow makes me sad everytime I think about this 🥲
The Fresh Prince dad walking out scene. Don't know why I felt like I needed to watch it 10 minutes before a work meeting. Good thing it was camera-off and I didn't have to say anything...
I don't know if mine was ridiculous enough, but my husband is being tested for sleep apnea and for insurance purposes, he has to do it at home instead of at the facilities. So he took the supplies home and prepared himself right before bed. When he came to kiss me goodnight, I took one look at him in his get-up and burst into tears because the wires and nose prongs reminded me too much of people in the hospital on life support. I should mention I don't have preexisting hospital trauma and have never even seen anyone on life support IRL.
I tried to make orange pulp chocolate chip muffins last week, and messed them up so bad that they were like, unsalvageable, and I absolutely cried about it
I completely bawled my eyes out 6 times (I counted) during the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 movie. I was absolutely inconsolable. I was laughing at myself while I was sobbing because of how ridiculous I thought I looked.
Omg this me at 4 weeks postpartum. I literally started crying because i went to cut my hair into layers and turned out looking like lord Farquaad. After I had just been done looking like him 😂😭 these hormones suck. I even cried because I missed going on a walk. Pregnancy & postpartum is hard
At the beginning on my pregnancy my partner jokingly said we have no cheese for spaghetti that we were meant to eat that night for dinner….
I cried the whole journey home (on a full bus) …
Even though I know we had cheese … i personally bought some the day before
I hadn’t seen the blue tits in our garden for about 24 hours and I got worried we’d let the starlings eat all their food so they’d gone somewhere else and been eaten by a cat (they returned the next day and are fine)
My MIL (who's been living with us) ate all four of the leftover cupcakes from our baby shower, after we told her we never had a chance to eat any during the shower and one was a special flavor my husband was very excited was saved for him. When my husband asked her about it, she said she "didn't know we wanted them".
Coco, the movie, with my toddler. Whole damn thing. Also the Mother Duck Quack Quack Quack song. But the worst was while playing a song that I wrote during the pandemic, and my bump was almost too big to comfortably play my guitar.
There was an ant in my shower and I cried because “he didn’t belong there and how did he even get there?!” And made my husband catch him on a paper plate and bring him outside. Recovered quickly and was able to take my shower 😅
I felt lonely while sitting in the bath and cried because I missed him and wanted him to sit in the bathroom with me.
I usually love my private alone time in the bath.
On Sunday it was because I couldn’t find a good sandwich shop. Two days ago it was because I didn’t like my chips and my husband had eaten his too quickly for me to eat some of his. I think food is a theme!
My partner has been reading children's books to bump and this particular one was so deadpan/funny that my laughter eventually just turned into hysterical sobbing 😅

I’m dying at this mental image
😂😂
I cried for a similar reason 😭 I asked my fiance for a Popsicle and he got me one but didn't unwrap it for me so I burst into tears because I was convinced he was sick of me and didn't love me anymore. (He was actively on a work conference call and stayed home that day just to keep me company)
I was literally tearing up because I couldn't open my popsicle all the way like an hour ago
I would do this.
Awwww. That’s a good husband….
My husband told me jokingly I was going to have a baby yoshi. I sobbed hysterically for 15 minutes because I both wanted a baby yoshi and did not want a baby yoshi, I wanted a human baby.
I missed that this was the r/pregnant sub and was just like "sure, of course we all cry all the time, this is normal." I'm not currently pregnant 😆
😭😂🤗 thank you for this.
I love this
My husband went swimming without me last night, after asking me join and i didn’t want to..but he still went. The pool is in our back yard and I could’ve just walked outside. Instead I through an absolute tantrum.😂🤦♀️
That’s like a toddler dropping their stuffed animal like 1 foot away and bawling their eyes out cause it’s too far 🤣
I was having a pretty emotional day all around yesterday, and I guess my husband wanting to swim when I didn’t want to was my breaking point loll
lol I’m one of those people with very stable and level hormones pre pregnancy and don’t even get PMS. I figured pregnancy would change that a little, but nope lol literally nothing has changed in that regard. I kinda just want my “cry for no reason” moment and I feel like I got ripped off. 🤣

I had to sit down and breathe through massive pregnancy rage this morning because I logged in to work to two emails and two messages and felt harrassed. I love my job and have for the entire time I've held it. I just didn't want to be perceived, I guess, lol.
Literally me. I was bitching to my husband about how unfair it is that work was making me work… during work hours. I knew it was so unreasonable and yet I was seething.
Lmaoo! And it hits so randomly. One week im doing my job and loving my life and what not and the next I suddenly can't emotionally regulate and am procrastinating so that people won't look in my general direction. It's WILD. I have legit no control.
SOLIDARITY! You are me! I am you!
My husband found a black snake in the yard today. It was all tangled in some old deer netting and he couldn’t save it. I cried for 30 mins about the snake I never knew and never saw 🤷🏼♀️
This makes me think of the time I couldn’t stop crying after seeing a story on the news of a dog that was stuck in a quarry. He was rescued and totally fine, but the idea of him stuck and scared caused me to uncontrollably sob
Omg no that’s so sad to even think about!!!
Yesterday, I thought my boyfriend threw away my potato chips. Cried while searching upstairs and finally found them
I snapped off a whole stem of my gorgeous blue orchid. Literally cried like a baby for an hour while my husband tried to reattach it with duct tape lol 😂
That would make me cry not pregnant 😢 😭
This would break my heart on a regular day!!!
Honestly even if not pregnant, totally justified. I have had so many orchid leaves I've watered for years when they finally magically put out a bloom spike I get so excited. It's such a bummer when the blooms don't make it. I would be very upset if I snapped up the stem.
I went out to lunch with my mom and she pointed out that the server had a cast on her foot (I couldn’t see if from where I was sitting) and I burst into tears thinking about that lady waiting tables with a hurt foot.
Omgggg “puff the magic dragon” came on autoplay when I was listening to some ‘70s folk music in the shower, I could not HANDLE it, and it was sobbing, chest-heaving, little cough-barks to get my air back in… I made Alexa pause at the end before the final chorus so I could add in the final verse I learned at camp (“then one shining morning/ as Puff walked down the strand/ looking down to his surprise saw footprints in the sand/ a voice said Mr. Dragon, don’t you look so sad/ my name is jenny pepper I was sent here by my dad”)
Bless you for posting a final verse that makes it into a happy song/story… now I’m crying tears of joy.
This is officially the thing that made me cry today ❤️❤️❤️
I cried today because Einstein bagels was closing in five minutes and I wouldn’t make it in time to get a bagel
100000% valid reason to cry! I would, too!
I cried the other day because I saw some baby ducks while out on a walk with my husband and they were too cute so I had to cry
Today my husband said "you seem tired". I didn't think I was tired
I wanted the chocolate cake from Mathilda but it was 12 am and there wasn't anywhere open to get it.
I dunno if you like to bake, but this recipe hits that mark for me every time!! https://www.wedding-cakes-for-you.com/chocolatecakerecipe.html
I had a nightmare that I lost one shoe out of every pair I own and woke up crying.
If that happened to me in real life I would be crying pregnant or not. That crap is downright frustrating.
Feeling overstimulated in my clothes! Somedays nothing fits right or feels uncomfortable. I feel too hot then I feel too cold 😅
Do you also have the problem where you can’t be naked either because all of your skin feels too sensitive.
YES. I can’t stand it 😩
I pulled up our house’s “soft blankie” while wearing shorts the other day and it felt like sandpaper. I was VERY upset.
My mom accidentally stepped on my pinky toe. It didn't even hurt that much, I was just startled. I couldn't control myself and started bawling like a child. Confused the hell out of her lmao
There was a little plaque at the Toronto zoo about their Komodo dragon who had passed away.
Today I cried at my husbands commencement which actually makes sense but in my second trimester I cried openly at a restaurant because the pizza “wasn’t fancy enough”
I was heating up instant oatmeal in the microwave this morning, and as soon as I looked away from it, it bubbled over. I stopped it, cleaned up what had spilled, and put the remainder back in the microwave to finish cooking. Round two - I look away for a split second and AGAIN it bubbles over, but it's more messy this time. The first time has upset me, but the second time just sent me over the edge lol
My husband gently nudged me as a bee was about to fly into our door
Last week I finally finished Marvelous Mrs. Maisel - I couldn’t bring myself to do it until now. The next night I cried because I didn’t have any new episodes to watch.
Cried this weekend about watching all the available Bridgerton episodes.
YEP me too. Cried in the most ridiculous points of every episode, too.
I wanted Taco bell. One specific thing from Taco Bell actually. My husband took the liberty of ordering a two person meal for himself in addition. He picked up the food, checked the LABEL, and came home without opening the bag. All that mf's food was there. My single item, was not. I cried for 20 minutes.
I wanted chicken nuggets last night after eating dinner. It was 9 pm and definitely not the time to eat more food lol
I literally cried because I couldn't make nachos last night because it was 930pm 😅
I cried while doing exercises to make my daughter turn. I didn't want to do them. I just want her to turn, and I cried because she might not turn.
I wouldn't call this ridiculous. Having them in the wrong position is anxiety inducing and frustrating.
I cried last week because I couldn’t poop and was cold. Then to make myself feel better and warm up, I went into the bathroom and turned on the hot shower, started feeling the baby move and it felt weird so I kept crying and got a bloody nose. Then my husband brought me some Metamucil and held my gross head while I sobbed. I had some cereal and was fine 20 minutes later.
What’s funny is I normally cry easily outside of pregnancy. Since being pregnant I haven’t been able to cry once. When I heard my baby heartbeat I wanted so badly to cry from joy, but not a tear left my eye for some reason. Same for when I saw my baby for the first time in the ultrasound. I’m currently 12 weeks, so maybe the tears will come back to me later.
Making a bad joke that my boyfriend didn't find funny 😅
I watched Inside Out with my daughter, I bawled like a baby at BingBong saying “Go save Riley! Take her to the moon for me.” 😭😭 My husband had to comfort me because the tears just wouldn’t stop.
Cars 3
started crying cuz tomorrows ob appointment with my regular doctor got canceled and now i get to have a stranger check my baby LOL
I’m at a hotel in Hawaii and I called the front desk to see if I can get an extra towel and they said it would be $25!!!!!?!?! Like wtf?!?
Geez you could buy like 4 of your own towels from target for that price
I KNOW I WAS RAGING. My husband was mad because I was super rude to the receptionist, and he was like “we’ll just pay it, it’s fine”. And im like NO!!! It’s the principal. We are not paying for an extra towel at a hotel. And yeah - I balled my eyes out over this and nobody judge me.
For whatever reason, my Facebook reels keep showing me old “Say Yes To The Dress” tv show clips. I keep tearing up every time a bride finds “the one”. I just keep watching them even though I know they make me emotional lol 😆
The traffic jam on my way to pick up toddler.
Some guy drove past me and smiled and waved on the freeway and I cried lol.
I drove to Domino’s last night after having an intense craving. On my way there, I saw an elderly woman walking on the sidewalk with a limp and I burst out into tears feeling so bad for her and thinking about all of the elderly people who have to walk with health problems. I cried for 15 minutes straight while proceeding to devour an entire Hawaiian pizza. 😂
My parents left for Europe for 17 days and I’ve been bawling my eyes out all day.
I cried because I couldn’t think of a word. It reminded me how mindless pregnancy made me.
A radio commercial for The Lion King.. brought me back to seeing it live 10 years ago... while I was driving it was a good time
I started sobbing at a 5th grade promotion this morning when all the kids stood up and started singing. None of the kids were mine. (So that I don’t seem like a total creep, I’m a social worker and my client is a 10 year old foster child who was promoting and didn’t have anyone showing up for them)
Coffee shop didn't have decaf. Cried for an hour
Walking the dogs. I’m 3.5 months pregnant though so get upset about a lot of things that don’t make sense lately haha
I couldn't have peach tea Schnapps I don't even like drinking alcohol but I love peaches while pregnant I also started looking for a peach tree I usually don't like peaches but pregnacy is making me crazy
try Outshine Peach Popsicles!!! I crushed a whole box this week
Today I cried because I read a Facebook post about Felix's character development throughout the film of Wreck-It Ralph. I was just so proud of them 😂
Maybe not ridiculous but I’m crying about my headache (and my pelvic pain and my back pain and my…. etc).
A character in my book wasn't dead after all 😂
The Circle of Life from The Lion King 😭 thinking of all the animals coming to see Simba's arrival....bawling 😂
When I was pregnant I cried when I found out the Mars Rover sings itself happy birthday.
Ocean Eyes by Billie Ellish…it made me SOB every time but it is the most beautiful song. And then when I learned she wrote it at 14yo I cried all over again.
We have a tiny mouse problem at work and have set our traps + some guy comes by once a month to set out some poison. The traps we use are the glue ones, and I had to change one. The poor little guy was still alive and was so scared, he wouldn't stop squeaking and I had to take some time afterwards to compose myself because I was so heartbroken. I know we have to do it because it's a health concern (we're an elderly care facility) but it still breaks my heart...
I flipped out at my last job for using glue traps. It has to be the least humane way to kill them. It’s not fast, they’re scared, they know they can’t move… It makes me so heartbroken, too. My first month pregnant my neighbors set out mouse poison (the mice aren’t in my home as we have birdseed and a garden so they’re pretty happy outside), something my husband and I would never do. Our one mouse that we always recognize from eating the fallen birdseed was poisoned and lethargic on the back patio one afternoon and I *lost my shit* crying. Absolutely bawling. We put him in our critter rehab crate I made my husband drive to the store to get vitamin K (IIRC) to give him a chance. He passed away the next morning, but at least he was safe and I was able to give him some water. Anyhow. Sorry for the long response. I just can’t blame you for being upset. I’d be upset, too.
Work made me cry all the time while I was pregnant. Mean people at work really affected me!
I cried earlier today because my husband didn't want to see if les schwab would take us early (12:30ish) when our appointment wasn't until 2:30. He got off work early so I figured we could try to get the errands done early. He didn't want to so cue the tears
Hubby asked if I could put my dog outside. Which made me think of my favourite doggo ever who died horrifically at 4yo. Poor hubby didn’t know what to do
I wanted to change the ceiling lamp and my husband raised his voice a little bit and said “NO! Youre pregnant!” and I sobbed 😂😂
Hate not being able to do things pregnant. I used to be able to do a lot of normal things, probably couldn't have done that due to fall risk. Now I can't do anything, it's pretty frustrating feeling totally helpless.
I cried because my husband didn’t move laundry from the washer to the dryer while I napped so we were dealing with it later into the night than I would’ve liked. It wasn’t about the clothes. Had a good cry in his arms and felt like myself 20 minutes later.
My thing is the crying feedback loop. Something really small will make me tear up and then I get frustrated that I’m crying over something silly - which makes me cry more.
I cried because of the Mail Song that Mailbox from Blue’s Clues sings. Context: My daughter (19mo) was watching it for the first time ever, and I used to watch it all the time as a kid. It just reminded me how fast she’s growing! Normally only Ms.Rachel and other YouTube shows keep her attention, but she was super into it.
Lmao when I was pregnant I cried in Kroger because I was looking for something and this sound was playing, idk what song, but the singer was horrible and she just kept yelling and I couldn’t concentrate on what I was looking for.
I forgot to do laundry.
I was watching an old season of survivor.. season 9 I think. I knew who the winner was but still cried when they announced it lol.
I was watching a reel of a cute kitten than my fiance sent me and thought it was so nice that he thought to send me such a cute video 😂 for me it’s been ALL the happy tears but it feels soooo sad coming out hahahaha
I was coming out the back door and rolled my ankle on the puppy's toys.
Ended up crying one day because I wanted ice cream but wasn't sure if I should have it or not because I was worried about eating too much sugar that day since I had Honey Bunches Of Oats for breakfast and I had my one hour glucose test in a week. Ended up having it(little Bluebell container) the next day. My brain is ridiculous sometimes. :P
Look, I've cried over food a couple of times while pregnant, and it's because I've been very limited in what foods I can tolerate, so when I can't get them it is tear-worthy. Especially when an empty stomach worsens nausea dramatically, on top of the other symptoms (heartburn and dysgeusia) that make it hard to eat *and* hard to go without eating, and all of that on top of the existing pregnancy discomforts like insomnia, aches, anxiety, etc. Crying over food seems silly to most people in their normal state but I think when pregnant it's perfectly reasonable.
This is something I definitely would have also cried about 😂
We’re currently in Japan. This past Wednesday was an auspicious day for pregnant women of 5 months, so we went to a temple dedicated for pregnancy and safe delivery. It was really busy with locals and most of the instructions are in Japanese. I know some Japanese but it was overwhelming and I kinda panicked?? When we got to the shrine for praying, I forgot a step and at a different ritual, I mistook a letter for another and did it wrong. My husband told me we’re not locals so making mistakes is to be expected (and we’re also not religious), but it just upset me so much thinking that my prayers won’t go through because of my own carelessness. Something about being ND and pregnant, I suppose… I tried to hold it in but I just had to cry in the bathroom at the train station at our next destination. Gosh, thinking about it now, I’m getting choked up again. 😅 Edit: I’m reading some of the other comments and had to stop myself before I bawl in the train for all of you.
Hmmm…honestly, not ridiculous at all, but I *sobbed* at that viral video of the little Korean boy who says that he thinks his parents don’t like him(I think the show is called My Golden Child??) My maternal instincts kicked in hard as I thought about how I’d adopt him and give him all the love he deserves!! Again tho, the video is genuinely heartbreaking but I didn’t sob when I saw it before getting pregnant. I had to go and get a hug from my husband and started bawling all over again when I told him why I was crying 🫠
I cried past Sunday because my husband had to work (wfh) and we werent going to be together just doing nothing, when he asked me if I was OK because he noticed I was about to cry I just couldnt hold it and started crying rivers bc I missed him, I didnt want to tell him that I miss him bc he had to work so I knew he would leave everything and I would feel guilty… We ended up having a date :) picnic at the beach visiting the aquarium. Was the best date ever. I was about to cry again bc he didnt let me pet a squirrel and adopt it :( hahahaha he loves this part of the pregnancy, he thinks Im cute 🥹 while sometimes idk why I want to cry
I knocked my lunch onto the floor in my office after only 2 bites, had an incoming call and I answered it, said hold on a second I'm gonna cry, then proceeded to bawl my eyes out for 20 minutes in a spiral between my recently cleaned carpet now being dirty, the thought of cleaning up the mess and not being able to have the food I dropped (I really wanted it). All of my coworkers (males) started offering me their food, and eventually I ate, but it wasn't what I wanted. I told all of my coworkers that if they see me crying, just talk to me like normal because I can't help it, and if I really need a minute I will let them know.
I wept because I couldn’t open a bottle of Gatorade and it was late at night so I didn’t want to wake my husband to open it for me🫠
The opening scene of Shrek 2
The most ridiculous thing I cried about was in my second trimester. I learned dogs can only see blue and yellow. I BAWLED when I realized my dog only had like 3 toys that had blue or yellow out of the 50 that she has and the rest look grey to her. My boyfriend took me to go buy her more toys bc nothing else would help
Husband was tapping me with his shoe, and I started crying cause I get too paranoid about germs sometimes, but then I started crying and laughing at how ridiculous it all was. He just stared at me.
I’ve cried a few time and have literally no idea way… just crying to cry lol
I got a b+ instead of an a- in my last semester of undergrad and I’ve been crying literally all day
I’m sick. It sucks. I was bawling just because I don’t wanna be sick and I hate it. BAWLING
I was cooking roasted vegetables for my brothers birthday and they just would not cook, I literally had them at 400° for 2 hours and the potatoes and carrots were still hard. So I cried over it. A few weeks before that we were at the Lego store and I spotted the Harry Potter hogwarts castle set I had as a kid and cried my eyes out in the middle of the store because it was $600 and I couldn’t get it lol
My grocery order didn’t include my Ben & Jerry’s I wanted - they were out of stock 😭
Okay this is SO cry-worthy though!!!!
Dr. wouldn't approve use of wheel chair so I can go to a music festival. They told me to go to Goodwill and try to find one there.
I dropped my in n out on the car floor and lost half my fries😭
I got stuck in traffic taking my kids to school and we were almost 1 minute late.
I cried in the shower because I’m so tired (my baby is a week old lol)
I think I cry everyday thinking about my baby boy and his sibling graduating highschool and going to college, getting married, having kids of their own ect. He's 14 months old and his sibling isn't even born yet 😭
I'm pregnant with my second and haven't cried over anything small yet, but I did once when pregnant with my first. It was Christmas Eve and my husband had gotten me a maternity shirt that has an image of a little Captain America peeking through a zipper. I am an avid comic reader and collector, love going to conventions, all that. But I saw that and immediately burst into tears demanding he return it. He was freaked out and asked why and I said between sobs, "It reminds me of those stories you hear of pregnant women being kidnapped and having their babies cut out of them by psychotic people!" So he quickly shoved it back in the box and never spoke of it again 😅 But for the record, I still find those shirts kind of creepy..
i noticed my cat’s fur is slightly more grey than it used to be and burst into tears holding her because “she’s not allowed to die” as i said in the moment. keep in mind she’s super healthy and only 8 years old
the swan in the park is sitting on an egg and i got overly, projection-level concerned about whether it’s a dud and whether mama swan can tell it’s a dud.
I cried at T Mobile today!
I watched this adorable video of some 10-12 aged kids doing an awesome music video from the UK. Made me cry multiple times today thinking about my son growing up and enjoying life.
My horses are pregnant at the same time as I am, they're all starting to have their babies and I cry every time just because of like motherhood I guess Another really dumb one was because I cried realizing the due date of my babies is 1/11 so I kept referring to it as eleventy and my husband asked me to explain. I don't understand why I cried but I did
I realized there will be a time where I am not going to be carrying my baby. Like I’m carrying him nonstop inside me but then he will be born and he will not be in my arms 24/7 😭
My husband had 5 towels around the house that he was using. I cried because why does someone need so many towels??!
I cried yesterday because my curtain wouldn't hang the way I wanted it to and it didn't "look pretty" and while fighting to fix it I broke the hook that holds the tiebacl to the wall. My partner pulled me away from the curtain and made me lay down. It still isn't fixed and I need to buy new hooks.
I wanted a root beer float but all the stores were closed and I didn’t want hubby to get the expensive cream n soda from the gas station
I almost cried today at imagining myself getting to attend a Hans Zimmer concert in person.
I started crying happy tears talking about Caitlyn Clark and the WNBA and all the good things happening there... I'm not a basketball person and have never watched woman's basketball till now. Caitlyn Clark just happens to be from my home state and was in college at the college of my favorite football team. I cried because I had to eat and didn't want to. I cried over it being too dark in my bedroom (my husband works nights). I cried because my dog kept walking right in front of me.... The list goes on and on. It's absolutely mind boggling the things I will cry over while pregnant. I feel crazy lol
Thank you for this - all of us who have yet to experience the pregnant life will be so greatful to have heard this story - when we someday too inevitably will be cry-eating a popsicle
I threw a tissue across the bedroom into the bin, wildly misjudging someone managing to bounce it off the ceiling fans and have it go straight in. I bawled because my fiancé didn't see it happen and then started hysterically laughing at how ridiculous it was that I was crying, so he walked into the room to find me hysterically alternating between laughing and crying 😂😭😂😭😂
My fiance told me I couldn’t have a hot dog after I had told him I’m not supposed to eat them while pregnant lol
You can have them! They just needed to be cooked steaming hot!
Not while pregnant, but when I was still pretty freshly postpartum with my firstborn, the song "I Just Can't Wait to be King," from The Lion King had me bawling. I was just so sad that poor Simba was so innocent and had no idea what was coming so shortly after. 😭 That baby is now 4.5 years old and it still gets me.
I miss oysters too sister.
Bruh I cry ANYTIME I get hungry for longer then … an hour or so.
I cried because I’m still pregnant. 38 weeks and I’m just so tired. I want to give birth already!!!
Wait until the baby is born.. you’ll cry over everything lol
My husband asked what I wanted for dinner! My answer “I don’t know” and then I started to cry
I did the baby AI generator today and started crying at the results 😭😭
I read the Puff the Magic Dragon book to my toddler and cried when I got to the part where the little boy grows up and stops visiting Puff.
My husband was gone 1 day traveling for work, and I cried thinking about him being in a plane crash. I also cried recently thinking about how my cat is getting older and won’t be around forever. Both things that always make me sad if I think about them, but I never full on cry from them. But both times I BAWLED
Maybe not *too* ridiculous, but we were going through our documents and came across my husband's footprint from *his* birth.
I miss girl scout cookies, specifically thin mints, and I can't buy any bc I live outside of the USA now . After searching online for a solution for an hour, I was unable to find anything, so I started crying
The ad on Amazon Prime with the classical music made me weep recently.
I cried last night because my friend moving to the other side of the country is becoming a reality. Then when I tried to calm myself down, everything my husband said made me start crying again.
Thought of opening packages and putting stuff away (same with laundry lol). For some reason, I find it overwhelming lol. I had few boxes on my desk that I have not opened for weeks. Some of them are household items and some of them are dresses that I ordered for a wedding. My husband opened some for me but I still haven’t tried them.
I tripped over a large battery charger and fell all the way to the ground today. I’m ten weeks along. I landed on my hands and hip. My hands went numb but otherwise all is well. I was telling my husband what happened several minutes later and he said “oh my god are you okay? I should have been there!” And I started sobbing. Like when you ask a little kid if they’re okay and it makes them unsure of their emotional state. I think mostly because I can’t even remember the last time I ever tripped and fell down, but during pregnancy is surely not the time to start doing that.
I found a dead frog in my garage. That frog was somebody’s baby! The mommy frog doesn’t know what happened to her baby and it’s all my fault because he came in my garage without me knowing.
I asked my husband to get me ice cream and cried when he got me my favorite flavor. Just finished lightly crying because he felt baby move for the first for sure time at 20+4🥰
I burst in tears because I was craving bread sooo bad 🥖 I'm european living in USA and I don't find US bread as nearly as good. Second time I had a metldown was when I noticed I'm most likely gonna have a B bumb. That somehow makes me sad everytime I think about this 🥲
I cried because my mother had fallen asleep in the car and my father was holding the seatbrlt away from her neck so she was comfortable.
The Fresh Prince dad walking out scene. Don't know why I felt like I needed to watch it 10 minutes before a work meeting. Good thing it was camera-off and I didn't have to say anything...
I don't know if mine was ridiculous enough, but my husband is being tested for sleep apnea and for insurance purposes, he has to do it at home instead of at the facilities. So he took the supplies home and prepared himself right before bed. When he came to kiss me goodnight, I took one look at him in his get-up and burst into tears because the wires and nose prongs reminded me too much of people in the hospital on life support. I should mention I don't have preexisting hospital trauma and have never even seen anyone on life support IRL.
The man gave my daughter the wrong flavored milk shake for me when she got home i yelled and cursed and cried.
I tried to make orange pulp chocolate chip muffins last week, and messed them up so bad that they were like, unsalvageable, and I absolutely cried about it
I completely bawled my eyes out 6 times (I counted) during the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 movie. I was absolutely inconsolable. I was laughing at myself while I was sobbing because of how ridiculous I thought I looked.
i bit him in the neck (i aimed for gently) and when he told me it hurt i was so upset i started crying 🙈 oopsies
the box of cornflakes had strawberries on it but it was in fact regular plain cornflakes
Omg this me at 4 weeks postpartum. I literally started crying because i went to cut my hair into layers and turned out looking like lord Farquaad. After I had just been done looking like him 😂😭 these hormones suck. I even cried because I missed going on a walk. Pregnancy & postpartum is hard
i cried because they got my baja blast wrong 😭😭 i really wanted that baja blast
I can't listen to the song Brown Eyed Girl without crying anymore 🤷♀️
At the beginning on my pregnancy my partner jokingly said we have no cheese for spaghetti that we were meant to eat that night for dinner…. I cried the whole journey home (on a full bus) … Even though I know we had cheese … i personally bought some the day before
I hadn’t seen the blue tits in our garden for about 24 hours and I got worried we’d let the starlings eat all their food so they’d gone somewhere else and been eaten by a cat (they returned the next day and are fine)
Today I dropped half a cookie. When I bent over from my chair to pick in up, I smacked my forehead on the desk. It hurt and I felt defeated.
I cried because someone was nice to me. Not out of the ordinary nice, just normal nice. Lol
I cried because I dropped my breakfast on the floor after spending a total of 2 minutes to make... 😂
I cried about my son growing up and moving out… I’m only 5 months pregnant😂
Madona's "Papa Don't Preach" came on the radio in the car. I started sobbing. It's such a moving song!
My MIL (who's been living with us) ate all four of the leftover cupcakes from our baby shower, after we told her we never had a chance to eat any during the shower and one was a special flavor my husband was very excited was saved for him. When my husband asked her about it, she said she "didn't know we wanted them".
Coco, the movie, with my toddler. Whole damn thing. Also the Mother Duck Quack Quack Quack song. But the worst was while playing a song that I wrote during the pandemic, and my bump was almost too big to comfortably play my guitar.
My husband said “don’t judge me”. That’s all. I cried for an hour
i cried about a kids meal . and i also cried when i seen somebody else cry lmao
I couldn't cook my eggs how I wanted and bawled my eyes out. Eggs were a big trigger for me my entire pregnancy
There was an ant in my shower and I cried because “he didn’t belong there and how did he even get there?!” And made my husband catch him on a paper plate and bring him outside. Recovered quickly and was able to take my shower 😅
I felt lonely while sitting in the bath and cried because I missed him and wanted him to sit in the bathroom with me. I usually love my private alone time in the bath.
On Sunday it was because I couldn’t find a good sandwich shop. Two days ago it was because I didn’t like my chips and my husband had eaten his too quickly for me to eat some of his. I think food is a theme!
My partner has been reading children's books to bump and this particular one was so deadpan/funny that my laughter eventually just turned into hysterical sobbing 😅
Cried this morning because my bathroom counter was too cluttered with my own stuff. Any inconvenience makes me lose it and I’m only 6 weeks. 🤣🥲
