Hysterical preggy moments...

Was just wondering what everyone elses completely hysterical unexplainable preggy moments have been. Come on, I know we've all had at least one.

I was pretty controlled my entire pregnancy but right at the start my hormones got the better of me. My hysterical moment (hours actually) was over a loaf of bread - not kidding.

My parents were coming back from Auck and had said they'd buy some Marx bread for me (we don't get it here and it's so nice and soft it's like normal bread which I can't eat). I'd been looking forward to it all week and had even bought several different sandwhich fillings to go with it. I was popping out so asked them to leave the bread on my doorstep but when I got home it wasn't there. I called to find out why and was told that Dad didn't want to leave it out so they'd taken it home with them and would bring in when they saw me next (they live 90 mins away and I see them once every fortnight).

I cried for hours until I fell asleep then later in the afternoon I woke up and cried some more. My DH was beside himself and ready to throttle my parents over it.

It's really comical looking back on it now but at the time I felt completely justified.

Hehehe Emma, me too!
I fainted at McD's in the St Luke's foodcourt when I was 4 months pregnant with Ella. So shameful, when I came round there were 2 burly security guys helping me onto a chair and my friend in hysterics crying "she's pregnant! she's pregnant!"

I had one really randomly hysterical moment. We were blowing up balloons for some celebration, and I couldn't even get it expanded even a little bit! I was trying so hard, but it just would NOT blow up. I was so peeved, I called it some names, threw it across the room and started bawling my eyes out. Didn't help that everyone else was laughing! I was so mad hahaha!

Apparently we're more hormonal in the first three months than any other time throughout the pregnancy. DH had just finished reading about it when the bread indicident happened.

Hmmmm, well the other night I went crazy at my brother over something. I didnt mean to yell at him, but it just came out, and then I started crying and yelling then went back up to my place and kept crying while DF hugged me, then I cried cos I felt bad for yelling, then cried some more cos I felt the baby kicking heaps and thought Id upset him! Then I cried even more telling DF how much I loved him and that I was sorry for crying then I cried cos I had forgot why I was crying!!!! LOL
My face and eyes were SO swollen afterwards and I felt heaps better lol.
Thats the only time Ive sort of lost the plot, damn preggy hormones!!!

I remember I had to ge the cows out of the paddock (on foot) and I was trying to be nice to them becasue they were all pregnant too, so was only walking around them quietly. But they weren't listening and I wasn't going to run around after them - ended up sitting in the paddock sobbing hard core until someone wondered where the cows were

I got real emotional last weekend - DH told me that a few of his friends knew we were pregnant - and had done for over a week before he bothered telling me. I got really annoyed and hysterical because I don't want them to know until after 12weeks, (after my m/c last time I found its really hard 'un-telling' people) and I was so ropeable when DH didn't apologise about telling his friends that I threw a little golf trophy at him, breaking the golf club and then stood on a bag of nachos that he was cooking and scrunched them all up.
I was so angry - and more so the fact he didn't tell me! I'm sure that me being super-hormonal didn't help the situation and I sat crying for about an hour afterwards just wanting a hug (which I didn't get !)
I had a great sleep that night though - the cry certainly helped me get tired!
I felt bad afterwards and superglued the golf club back on - looks as good as new!!!

LOL at the nacho chips Ema, spiteful! I love it!

My big nut moment with Paris was when we were supposed to be on our way to our antenatal class - of course THE most important one - about positions and how to breathe, I mean come on, of course at that time in my hormonal 28 weeks, first time mum scared as hell panic It was THE ONE I COULD NOT MISS... god forbid i forget how to breathe, lolol.

So, our car at the time was not terribly reliable, and the battery had been a bit dodgy, so mike of course decides to chance it and go to his grandparents business on the way to antenatal class - which already made me mad as hell cos i didn't want to be late, so we are pulling out of the driveway after dropping in to see them - running late, like i knew we would be cos it always happens, lol.

and the car dies.

DAMMIT, i went nuts at him and told him he knew that the battery was dodgy and if we had at least gone straight there then we wouldn't be missing the antenatal class and how on earth was i going to know how to breathe now??!! it was all his fault that he hadn't gone and gotten the battery recharged during the day and now his uncle wasn't there with his battery recharger.

After he convinced me that I shouldn't walk there by myself (cos i was fully going to.. even though i was big fat and pregnant, it was dark, the class was about half an hour's walk away, and we were already running late... I was going to walk there, I WAS GOING TO BE THERE!) after that, we went back inside his grandparents business, and i went mad again cos he didn't ask anyone to give us a lift there. I sat in his grandparents offices bawling my eyes out for close to an hour.   My sister's ex was working for them at the time and i overheard him saying to mike that "this happens at this stage of pregnancy, they cry over nothing, her sister did the same" to which i then went feral at him too because it was "NOT PREGNANCY RELATED! it was because of this and this and this".

I was kinda nuts.

funnily enough, i went to another groups class on another night to make up for it, was much later about a week before i actually had her. I was the biggest most preggy one there and all the others were only around 27weeks, here i was 37 weeks, they starred at me (probably hoping like heck they weren't going to end up that big)   and i didn't use any of the stupid breathing methods we were taught, nor did i find any of the comfy positions comfy.

I still maintain that he should have known his stupid car was going to stop working and that he should have planned for it.   To this day even though our car is far better, we now have our own battery jumper leads pack in the car.

Well, I had two preggy moments that were totally unlike me.
I'm not the sort of person that does this... so I blame the hormones completely!

The first one was at about 16 weeks. I REALLY wanted some Nestle Caramel Crumb chocolate. So DH and I went up to the supermarket to get a few things. I made a beeline for the confectionary aisle, expecting to find it. But no. There was none. Not even a price sticker advertising it. I stamped my foot and burst into tears. So I had to "settle" for Cadbury Caramello (my favourite chocolate!). But as soon as we got home I got onto the Nestle website and sent them a rather terse (irrational, more like) email, complaining about how there was none. I explained that I was pregnant and really craving it. So any supplies of it they had would be greatly appreciated in my house.
I got an apologetic email back explaining that it wasn't very popular so they stopped manufacturing it and that there was none left that they could send me. But by then I was over it and really embarrassed.

The second was at 30 weeks. DH turned 30 on xmas day so I really wanted to get him something special. He's a winemaker and mentioned some wine glasses he really wanted. I found some online for half price ($45 for two, instead of $45 each). So I decided to order 4 for him. Unfortunately my credit card had to be cancelled because there was some fraudulent use on it. So while I waited for my replacement credit card the sale finished so I missed out and had to pay the full amount if I wanted them.
I was pretty pissed off at missing out so I emailed them and explained my circumstances (including the fact I was heavily pregnant and hormonal). So they offered me 5% off the price. Woop. But I bought them anyway.
But I was still pissed off, so I told DH about it - ruining the surprise) - so he emailed them right away and managed to wangle 4 more glasses out of them for free! So we got $360 worth of glasses for $180. I was thrilled!

Funny how your moods can swing from one way to the other so easily
