I cry everyday....over the weirdest things.....a song on the radio, my DH saying a curse word, my son's sneakers getting wet. I just never know when I may burst into tears!! My poor DH is afraid of me I think. I did not have this when I was pg with my son & I'm afraid of what may happen after I have the baby. I mean, I'm not sad or depressed....I just am very emotional I guess. Plus, my mom has me very, very upset. I asked her yesterday if she would be willing to watch our boys 1 or 2 days a week after my maternity leave is up & she said NO!!!!! She & my dad are both retired & are in good health. They keep busy doing "busy things" like cleaning & gardening, but they have nothing else going on (travel, book clubs, etc....). I have explained the huge expense of daycare to her & I just can't believe that she is not willing to help us finacially. But what has me most upset is that she is that it seems like that she just couldn't be bothered with her grandchildren. Am I asking too much of her? To top it off today is her birthday, so I have to see her tonight & preternd like nothing is wrong....I just know I'm going to lose it & start crying. UGGGGG!!! Sorry for the vent.

i'm sorry you are feeling this way kelly. there is nothing worse than feeling that you have lost control over your emotions. i know it must be overwhelming to think about child care, but things will work themselves out. i say try and have a good time tonight and then another time when you have calmed down a little bit you could have your mom explain to you a little more about why she can't watch the boys. maybe she has a reason that she isn't communicating to you. i hope that things work out. keep us posted!

i'm not pregnant ( yet), but i have noticed, in the last few TTC months, that my emotions around PMS time are sky rocketing. sometimes so out of control that i can't eat. friday and saturday were terrible, insomnia! i was crying all the time and had no energy to clean house or even answer the phone. when i get all moody like that i dread having to leave the house, almost panicked and i can't act normal. thank God it usually lasts only a few days and then i can go back to a normal variety of stress and sadness.

and about your MIL, my parents are like that with my sister. she is a single mom of a 3 year old (but engaged to marry) and my parents almost never watch her son. my dad says he is like this because he is afraid she will rely too heavily on them. he doesn't want his house to turn into a "day care". i don't see what harm 1-2 days a week would do (so long as its planned), really its selfish of them to act like that. good luck getting through to them.

Oh wow, I thought I was the only one crying over songs. I would hear love songs, and then just cry and cry, because they feel like words I'd want to say to my future kids, like "give me a chance". It's so sad... The other day, I actually turned off the radio, because with a new IVF cycle, I didn't want anything effecting my mood.

kcmour, you have a much better reason to cry, you have a lot on your plate. Sorry to hear that your parents are not willing to help out with childcare. I'm just crying because. Be tough, hang in there, you can do it!! And feel free to vent here anytime!

Well hopefully it will be all be worth it

I feel the same way. My hormones are going crazy. Last week I was crying out of the blue for no reason at all. This week I'm a raving lunatic getting mad at DH for no reason. I wouldn't want to be around me right now. lol

Thank goodness I am not the only one....I have been on Lupron for 3 months now and I am a emotional train wreck! I cry over everything, at home, at work, over songs, over things people say, My husband is scared to death to even say anything to me. lol. UGH....It's amazing what all of this does to a person.
