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. ------------- http://lilypie.com">   http://lilypie.com">

I once made Willie go out and get toasted muesli coz Claire on Shorty St was eating some and it made me crave it - at 7pm at night!
And when my OB refused to induce me at 36 weeks like he said he would all along I cried for 2 days straight. Oh and I fainted in McD's when I was about 30 weeks preg with Maya - how embarassing! -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

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!" ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

Oh, you just reminded me. I was in the middle of town walking from the carpark to work when 8 months preg and slipped on some tiles and fell flat on my rear. It flippn hurt and it took me awhile to calm down afterwards. Luckily DH was with me at the time.
I was pretty big and looked like I was about to give birth any minute so everyone was staring at me as DH held my while I cried. A few people even stopped to see if they could help. ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

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. ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

I completely flipped out over my brother eating a slice of my pizza. It was mental and got teased for ages about it. Anyone would think he had eaten half the pizza or the last piece from the ruckus I created and then I sulked the rest of the night. Worst part is he had been nice brought me home chicken tenders as well

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 think my double dose of preggy hormones are setting in even though i dont have long to go.
but this afternoon i walked all the way down the drive to check the mail box in the wind and drizzle and i got down there and someone had put this gate across the bottom of the drive. i was like 2 meters away from reaching the mailbox and i could not open this friggin gate-it was made out of chicken wire and normal posts but i couldnt get it open so i stood there and cried for ages before walking back up the drive. df bought the mail home with home and all that was in it was a bank statement. ------------- Natasha Jayde, 1-01-05(7lb3oz) Caroline Elisabeth, 9-04-08 (4lb15oz) Izabella Kate, 9-04-08(6lb7oz) Lexi Brenna, 23-01--2011(6lb6oz) |

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 ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Lol The_Stuarts, I went to Countdown and did a $500 grocery shop on the Fri night before I was induced with the gremlins, I was struggling to walk around and we had two trolleys so I asked the checkout manager for help and she was like "when are you due?" and I was like "I'm being induced with twins tomorrow", the look on her face was priceless, she started panicking and was like "sit down, sit down, do you feel OK?" ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

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!!! ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  DD#1 Sept 08 DD#2 Oct 09 |

These stories are so cute and funny!! I haven't had any real moments, luckily. My DH doesn't really tolerate crying very well... which means I doubt I would get hugs either Emma!!
I also found out that one of my friends I told in secret about being pregnant told another one of my friends and I was so angry! I was mad to the point of shaking with rage! Looking back, it was completely over the top!! I have also found that I get grumpier a lot easier as well. I was really annoyed at work the last two days as one of the colleages I am quite close to (we sit next to each other) has been working really, really hard and not really talking to me as much as normal. Today was my last day in that role, and I found myself super grumpy that he didn't give me enough attention. I felt like a spoiled child not getting my own way! |

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. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

Oh bless some great stories here, might have to share them with DH so he can see I'm really not going insane 
The two biggest melt down hissy fits I've had are... at about 14 weeks I had a thing for McD's quarter pounders, tried to limit myself to one a week but man I adored them, one Saturday night DH says what takeaway do you want for dinner, I say Quarter Pounder, He says Nah thats too far and its too dark and cold to walk (in a pedestrian area 10 mins walk from house) lets get Pizza delivered, So I burst into tears and start sobbing I dont want Pizza I want a Quarter Pounder why did you even ask me what I wanted, you dont care what I want etc. Most embarrasing, he looked shocked and was all sweet and careful and got me bundled up so we could go get the Quarter Pounder on foot in 0 degrees 
The other one was upon finally finding a pasturised Brie in the supermarket I cut it open at home to find it wasnt ripe and I threw the knife across the bench and was sooooooooooo bone shaking angry I started heaving sobs and fists clenched and teeth grinding - the works. To be fair it was the final straw in a couple of days of disapointments and I just lost it. I stood in the corner of the bedroom shaking with tears and anger like a mad woman! I'm so lucky that DH is a calm fellow and realised it wasnt personal and just held me until I could breath again and was okay. Funny to look back on, deadly serious at the time lol. -------------

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 -------------

| On Christmas Day I was driving down to Wanganui as DP was racing there the next day. Stopped at petrol station in Te Kuiti to get a drink and handed the guy serving a $20 note. He turned to me and said 'have you got anything smaller' so I said No and handed him my Eftpos card instead. After a while he still hadn't handed back my $20 and was folding it up in his hand so I asked for it back, which he ignored so I grabbed it. He asked me what my problem was and I just lost the plot big time. I've never used so many swearwords in one sentence and was shouting really loudly. Heaps of people were staring at me. I was still shouting at him as I went out the door and got in my car. Really embarressed about it now. |

I remember getting pissed at kent over something, and it got blown out of proportion, and i hit him around the head with a book (thankfully it was just a magazine) and then i slammed my glass down on the bench, but slammed it so hard it broke and i cut myself, although i didnt notice for a while.
I then proceed to cry hysterically for about 45mins, and by the end of it i was crying because i was scared i had hurt my baby...i scared myself and kent and have never lost it like that since ------------- http://lilypie.com">

OMG I have tears streaming down my face from laughing SO much!!! These stories are hilarious!! I'm glad I'm not the only one!! These hormones make you do crazy things aye! I have resurrected this thread for mine and others enjoyment. lol
In the weekend we went to a good friends farewell party and of course I had to drive home. Hubby had had a bit to drink so was being a bit aggrogant. I HATE driving at night and in the rain at the best of times and he is telling me how to drive! eg pass that guy he's gunna hold us up, dip your lights! etc I got so mad I lashed out and hit him across the chest. He broke his sternum in a motorbike accident last year and it has never really healed properly (well not when you get thumped in the chest ) so he swore at me and used "woman!" in the same sentence and so then I completely lost the plot and he's telling me to calm down and concentrate on driving. Do not tell an irrate pregnant woman to calm down - bad move! So then I became a complete sobbing angry hysterical mess and had to pull over cos I couldn't see through my tears! I was sobbing so much I made myself sick. lol I cried all the way home (an hour!)
It is actually quite funny now I look back at it but was NOT funny at the time. -------------

| Great stories!! Makes me feel normal. My latest one was a sad one. Every morning on my way to work i see a little family of pukekos. Mother one father one and 4 babies. I feel like iv watched them grow up almost. Anyway the other morning i was approaching "their spot" and the mother(or father i cant tell them apart lol) and the 4 babies were standing on the side of the road looking at something on the road. As i got closer i realised it was the other pukeko (well maybe it wasnt but in my happy little family story in my mind it was) But they looked so sad just standing there staring at the dead father. Cried for the whole morning. And then had to tell partner which started me up again that night! |

Huntd, you just made me cry! My mum rung me in tears not long ago as she was driving along and a mother duck with ducklings ran out onto the road. Mum couldn't stop in time and killed every duckling. The mother just stood there. We were both in tears!
I''ve had a couple of fits but mainly cause I didn't think DH was being helpful. One of our dogs was barking and wouldn't stop. I was sick on the couch and DH didn't go out and stop him so I yelled at the dog, then DH yelled at me for not getting up!!! WTF??? He copped it big time and hid in the bedroom for about an hour too scared to come out. And I couldn't stop crying cause the leaves on the trees up Victoria Ave (Palmy) were such pretty colours. I never should have told the girls at work about that one. They remind me every day. ------------- http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wyI1oWn/">

Oh, and I had another fit at DH as he had a go at me about my driving. I did a U turn on a main road as a duck and ducklings (another lot) had wondered out onto the highway by Massey Uni. Scared they were going to get the same fate as the last lot of ducks, I turned the car around, shooed them off the road and back into the bushes. DH had a fit at me about road safety but I didn't care, the ducks were safe. ------------- http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wyI1oWn/">

Thanks Mrs_B. Sometimes I wonder if I'm going insane, and I'm also a little afraid, what if I never get back to my normal self? But reading all these stories makes me realise I'll probably be ok. (In the end). Yesterday we'd been shopping, which I don't really like at the best of times. But I told DH to stop at the supermarket because I needed some chocolate. We hadn't had chocolate in the house for a week and I really wanted some. I walked through the New World for about 15 minutes (but it felt like an hour!) and I couldn't find the chocolate. Finally I found it. Back in the car I broke down. It was all DH's fault. He had stayed in the car because he was tired, but I was VERY VERY tired. He should have gone in and bought me chocolate. I cried and cried. When we got home I didn't feel like choclate at all. |

I was telling DP about your stories. He said I'd better not be like that or he's changing his mind about the whole baby thing. I said that by then it'll be too late for him to change his mind. He didn't have an answer to that.
I don't remember having any overly emotional moments when I was pregnant. Though when DD was about 3 days old I cried for about an hour because I had run out of toilet paper (in Tauranga Hospital you had to bring your own) and I didn't have anyone to bring me anymore. |

Morning
I just thought I'd put my 10cents worth in.
Anyway last night I cooked chicken and vegies for dinner, anyway I didnt eat all of my chicken so I wrapped it and I put it in the fridge to eat today. Anyway DFP made his lunch this morning as usual. I had appointments this morning so I thought I'd have a late breaky early lunch and all morning I was thinking about my chicken. Anyhoo I got home about 10.30 and went to get my beloved piece of chicken out of the fridge to heat up and what did I find? The Gosh Dam Bones. I went of my rocker, I tried ringing DFP but range was terrible so I started txn him (very horrible things). I've txd him 14 times abusing him for eating my piece of chicken and leaving the bones, & I was saying he thinks Im just a dog coz he just left bones and radaradarada, Im soooo trying to get over it but I just cant, coz Im sooooo F**kd Off about it. He had a big thigh piece and drum stick there for his lunch so it wasnt like there was no food there, ( My DFP tends to take xtra food for his work mates) he told me to go and buy a cooked chicken from the supermarket but I dont want that chicken I want my chicken from last night..... I have told him on many occasions not to touch my leftovers coz I tend to think about them all the time and it just tastes so much better the next day LOL...But when I've been thinking about it and it's not there when I go to get it thats it someone is gonna feel my wrath... I know it's pathetic but thats just me at the moment, DFP has only got 8wks of my moods left and I dont want to sound like a real bitch or anything but I cant help it. I've had a cry over it and Im still pretty sh*tty about the whole thing, I actually feel like crying again LOL....

I haven't had any 'hysterical' preggy moments but I do get rather emotional. DH and I work different shifts so we don't see much of each other but occasionally he'll pop out from work for a quick break when I've finished for the day or I'll take a late lunch and meet him at the train station and walk him to work. I've been really sick with all day ms but I decided to wander down to the station and meet DH and walk him back to work. I'd thrown up before leaving and had to make a quick stop at the public toilets when my stomach threatened to empty itself again so I was running late and met him about halfway between his work and the train station. I explained why I was late and he said "you shouldn't have bothered coming then". I spent the next couple of minutes fighting back tears. He had to explain that what he'd meant was that I should have stayed in the office since I was feeling so unwell, not that he didn't want to see me. -------------

I had a major meltdown when I got up one morning and found out dh had eaten my munchos. I cried for an hour and a half. Then I found out he hadnt put the washing out like he said that he was going to. And when I rung he thought it was funny (he thought I was joking). I then told him that if you play hockey after work dont bother coming home at all. (minor overreaction on my part ). Needless to say he was home within the hour to hang out the washing, by then I was crying about yelling at him and being afraid that he would leave me.

Hahaha, just had a read through all of these again and just about wet myself laughing!
I had a good one the other morning when I was running late for dropping DD off at school. Well I was already feeling slightly stressed and upset with running late and having had to growl at DD to get her moving and then this woman in the car behind me starts tailgating all the way up the road. As I pulled into the street a cat ran out from under one of the parked cars so I had to brake for it, because she was tailgating she had to brake very hard which earned me some very unfriendly hand gestures and choice phrases from her. I carried on with steam billowing from my ears no doubt, using every ounce of self control I had to stop those preggy hormones from erupting. We came upon some opposing traffic and I chose to let them past. Well that was the final straw for her, she leaned on her horn and completely lost it. She was swearing and cursing me, thumping on her steering wheel and scaring the bejesus out of her kids and mine. The drivers coming the other way even slowed down to watch, she was that out of control. I very calmly explained to my kids that the crazy lady was having a bad day and continued to sit there for a good couple of minutes after the traffic had cleared while she burst several blood vessels behind me. When we pulled up to the school I got out of my car in all my pregnant glory and went up to hers and said "I am NOT going to run over cats or risk scraping my car just because you are upset about running late, you have NO RIGHT to yell or swear at me about the way I drive because you are behind me and you can not see what I can see" Then I completely ruined the effect of my tirade by bursting into tears and telling her she'd scared the crap out of my children and made them cry too and that I hoped she was proud of herself. I cried on and off about it all morning and gave myself a headache. Then when I was telling a friend about it that afternoon I cried again! At least I can blame hormones for my behaviour though, not sure what her problem was? ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

Oh CaraMel, poor you! TBH I think that crying on her was possibly even better because I bet you made her realise what a ridiculous idiot she was being. Go you! ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

This is all awesome. I feel like such a fruitcake at the moment...
For background, i'm a chef and in a kitchen of 25 there are only two other woman. So i'm deboning some rabbits, and i get to the last few and there is a really odd looking one, its about 1/4 the size of the other rabbits. So i pick it up and say to the male chef i'm working with "what the heck is this?!" and he told me it was just a really small rabbit. I was inconsolable. It was so so small, and i was going its too young to die, its too young its too small! I had to go outside and sit down for a bit with a cup of juice
