Ok is this normal during pregnancy?

Question

I am 22 weeks and had been feeling just fine but all the sudden for the past couple of days everything makes me want to cry, sometimes I actually cry sometimes I just feel like it. Like today my husband came home and were gonna go to dinner so I was putting on a little make up and doing my hair and then I came out and started to cry, he asked me whats wrong and I said I feel like a huge fat ugly cow, he said your not your beautiful and I told him to stop lying to me, and it made me cry even more. Is this normal, why do I feel like this, is it just hormones? Is it gonna get worse? Sometimes there is no reason I just cry. I just want to make sure I am not the only one who does this. Because its not everyday sometimes I am perfectly fine, and I feel so bad for my hubby. any stories?

Answer 1

lol u sound like me

Answer 2

awww sweetie this is normal... and don't feel bad for him, you are the one that has to carry the baby 9 mths so don't stress cry as much as you want.

Answer 3

Yeap.... I am going through that right now. These hormones are ridiculous. I love my "baby bump" but sometimes when I am getting dressed or just looking in the mirror. I feel like I look huge!!! My hubby tries to make me feel better. But really it doesn't really help. I just have to get the tears out of my system. I have some days where I am tearing up and don't even know why. Its like I am having mood swings. Like you... some days I am perfectly fine... but then in a moment I can be in tears and for no reason. I even cry when I am happy. Its totally normal, its the hormones. Our poor husbands, jk ;)  Congrats on your pregnancy !!!

Answer 4

it is fine it is hormones. sometimes it can get bad or better. when i was pregnant with my son i was at my oldest figure skating show and started to cry when these sisters did an act together. i  was so shocked that i was crying. it wasnt even sad.

Answer 5

It is just your hormones. If you cried all the time, then I would talk to your Dr. Being preggo brings out your emotions and I remember (with my first) telling my husband how huge I was, and of course he was understanding and said I looked beautiful.  Do not worry, enjoy this time and get your sleep. :)  congratulations on your pregnancy!  

Answer 6

Hormone changes cause these emotions but listen to your husband. There is beauty in you and your new baby.

Answer 7

i'm really sorry...but as i was reading this i couldn't help but giggle at it...not to sound insensitive! its just...my daughter is 2 months old and i am reading this and remembering doing just about the same very thing.

i am still a little emotional but things are starting to even out and i'm not so teary all the time. hang in there...its all so worth it...my daughter is beautiful!

congrats on your little girl!!!

(for hope...my daughter is 2 months and i have lost all my baby weight and then some...it can be done!!!)

Answer 8

It is perfectly normal for you to feel this way once in a while.  It is all hormones.  Your body is going through changes on a daily basis due to your pregnancy and you will get to the point where they will just go away by themselves.  

Answer 9

It is just the way things go when you are pregnant. I think you should just tell your hubby (when you are sane) to just remember it will pass. I was the same way and it usually passes by like 30 weeks or so. It is different with everyone. I once cried because my husband forgot to get nuts on my ice cream. Good luck and it will pass.

Answer 10

Extremely normal, happens to everyone!

Hormones, girlie....

Good Luck!!!!!

Answer 11

Answer 12

haha i have to many to put up the page it is totally normal though good luck

Answer 13

Oh I get the crying thing. YES, it is normal. For me it hasn't gotten worse but it hasn't gotten much better.

My crying story happened about 2 months ago. I was in Chick fil A. I ordered diet lemonade and had my husband try it. He told me he didn't like it. I began to cry hysterically in Chick fil A because I was so upset he didn't like it. Then I just got mad. I finally recovered about 30 minutes later and I just had to apologize. We both laughed about it later because it was so silly.

Answer 14

Totally absolutely probably the most normal thing about pregnancy is the hormonal mood swings.  Get lot's of rest and give your self a break.  You are creating a human being inside of you.  What a miracle.

Take care after the baby is born too.  It took me a really long time to feel normal again.  The new mommy hormones are crazy too (baby blues).  And there is also a condition called postpartum depression that your doctor and your hubby should watch for after the baby is born.  It's really important to let your doctor and your family know if you are having any unusual thoughts or feelings after the baby is born.  Make sure to discuss this with your doctor he/she can give you much more information.  There is also a book called what to "expect when you are expecting" that you can probably pick up at any public library.  It has a lot of good info for first timers!

Answer 15

YES! It's HORMONES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

Answer 16

its normal I'm due dec 8 and i have the same thing but mine is every day cause of stress but with my other 2 pregnancy's it happened to it all in the hormones

Answer 17

The good news is that it can come and go.  

You may not be that way for the entire rest of the pregnancy.  I have had a few spells of it this go round.  Also around 20 something weeks and again at 30 something.  We are 34 and a half now, and I am fine...today :-D

Also be prepared for things like that after baby is born.

You've probably heard of postpartum depression, but it can be varied in symptoms and severity.  After my son, I had it the worst (for me) and people had to walk on egg shells for fear of either being yelled at or making me burst into tears.

Answer 18

right now i am feeling exactly like you. it's like if i've been pregnant my entire life...(i have a daughter who just turned one and i am 23 weeks pregnant too).

I am feeling like an"huge fat ugly cow" too, i wonder if my tiny butt will be back someday!!!lol

Answer 19

Hormones for sure.

Dont worry about it right now.Just a part of pregnancy.:P

Answer 20

OH..yes of course its those lovely hormones all of us have...
