Hormones?

[SupermansLady]

Okay gals, I just posted on another thread, and got weepy thinking about my DH. Do any of you have this over emotional, super attached thing going on right now with pregnancy? I think it's just the hormones, cause it comes and goes.
I mean, last night all he did was reach over and hold my hand on the way home from work (nothing new, he does it all the time) and I just started bawling like a baby cause I love him so much and feel so blessed to have him.
Just wondering if this is me or pregnancy or what? What do you think?

Well, I haven't been pg in a while...but boy do I rememder the "weepies"!
One time I bropped a bowl of water, and just sat on the floor bawling! [crybawl] dh came in the kitchen and asked why I was crying...and all I could say was...I don't know!!! :wink:

So in answer to your question...I would guess it's hormones! [cheerful]

[breezykc2]

Yeah, you're normal! LOL
I wasn't too weepy during...but since I delivered three weeks ago and my hormones have crashed through the basement level out of the sky....geeze! Cry, cry, cry! LOL

Yes, I cry over everything. Even when I'm mad I cry. That's never been a response of mine. I'm an emotional person anyways, so this new development in my emotions seems like it's a river flowing. Even when I had that interview a couple weeks ago, I felt like crying because I was nervous! Never have I done that before. I'm starting to think that not only is it hormonal, but when you're pg, your tear ducts produce more tears. :lol:

I can totally relate. I am not usually a weepy person and never got like this with either of my other two pregnancies. This pregnancy has been quite different though.. I cry very easily! Almost daily it seems.. and half the time I dont even know why!

[SupermansLady]

Thanks girls! I feel better about it now. I am a very unemotional person for the most part. I don't cry, yell nothing like that. But since I got pregnant this time, I seem to go from one extreme to the other.
Mostly I have been crying whenever I think of how much I love my husband, son, stepchildren, Jesus.
I feel like a leaky faucet most days. Forget wearing mascara, I've even had the waterproof kind run cause I cried so much. :?

[LadyLavender]

I remember that! I was definitely a weepy pregnant girl sometimes- and towards the end of my pregnancies, I definitely was clingier with DH. I'm usually very independent, and at those times I just wanted DH to be in the same room all the time.

I cry over everything. My house isn't clean. [crybawl] My husband has to work late. [crybawl] I'm uncomfortable. [crybawl] My van needs an oil change. [crybawl] I need to stop and get gas. [crybawl] Need I go on???

I have been sooo weepy during this pregnancy it is ridiculous. About a month ago, our hot water heater went out. We called this dude to fix it and he couldn't come for 3 days! So, we boiled water for everything that we needed hot water for. Well, the day came for him to fix it. He came, it worked, dh and ds took a shower. I looked forward all day to taking a bath. When I went to take a bath, it was ice cold!! What do you think I did? Cried like a big old baby! [crybawl] [cry] [crysad] [crwy] For a long time! The guy came back the next day to fix it again and I finally got my relaxing bath!

So, yeah, I cry over just about anything these days. DH swears this one's a girl because I'm so emotional. We shall see!

total weeper here too! this pregnancy I've noticed that if I get atrong emotion it's REALLY hard to get rid of it. Like at the prenatal with the nurse- I started to cry and couldn't stop for an hour. Yesturday I got angry and stayed that way for the whole morning even though I had come to rational thoughts about the incident. I usually have intense emotions but, it doesn't usually take so long to get over it. so YAH, emotional hormones are RAGEing!

[4HisGlory]

I am a cryer too. The last BIG cry I cried so much I hyperventalated! every two seconds I ask my dh "Do you love me anymore?" way emotional.

[Godzgirl]

Totally normal. I'am a sensitive person to begin with but when i was pregnant i got emotional over everything. Sometimes i would even just feel like crying and not know what i was crying over. LOL! Aren't hormones fun? hehehe

[EmJo]

That happened quite a bit in my 3rd tri. Couldn't stand to see DH go to work, etc. Definitely hormonal, but a good hormonal reaction for a change. :wink:

[davidsmommy]

As I read over everyone's responses, I second,... no I twelfth that thought. Emotional? What? ;) I'm right with you.

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

[davidsmommy]

LOL, as a foot note to my previous message...

BEWARE SAPPY MOVIES!!!! Mr. Holland's Opus is on this evening... [crybawl] [crysad] [crybawl] [crysad] [crybawl] [crysad]

[KellyB]

Um I know this will be a very stupid question, but what is the heck is DS and DH and DD. I am confused??????????????

[4HisGlory]

not a stupid question, it takes a bit of research and questions, to figure all these abv. out.
DD= darling daughter
DH= darling husband
ds=darling son

Amy or Rachel maybe you can post the link to the sticky that has the abv. I know we have one somewhere.

I am def. more emotional during pg. I almost never cry - I've known dh since I was 18 (10+ yrs) and the first time he ever saw me cry was when I was pg with ds#1 - he was so surprised I don't think he knew what to do with me :lol: At least he knew what to expect this time!

Sometimes you just feel so blessed it's overwhelming [crwy] and other times it is something as silly as not finding matching socks that makes you just want to crawl into bed with some Kleenex and [crybawl]

[KellyB]

Thank you for clearing that up.

Hi Katie, :D

I got emotional and wonderfully sentimental with each of my pregnancies, and now I get that way each time I'm PMS"ing, too. I figure it's better than wanting to tear someone's head off their shoulders. :lol: I think this may actually have been part of God's design and not something negative, like so many people feel the side effects of hormones are. I ususally feel thankful, blessed and vulnerable during my hormonal bouts. Seems to only turn ugly when I'm not trusting the Lord. [whatthink]

Thanks again ladies for all the replies. I feel better knowing I'm not the only one going through this. I felt silly admitting it, but I cry every morning when he drops me off at work cause I just want to stay with him. This morning was especially tough because of the weekend.
Pray for him though - poor man isn't use to being smothered so much with attention. Saturday he wanted to go put gas in the truck and get a car wash (without me) and that turned into a tear fest! I don't blame him, he needs time away, but boy I hate it. :( :( :( :( :(
He just shakes his head at me and tells me he loves me....I have such a wonderful man....Okay, gonna cry again [cry]

:lol: That happened to me, too! My midwife named it "spousal attachment." :D
