Normal to be weepy? (pregnancy)

[Jengerbread88]

Okay, I'm in the last month of my pregnancy... and I'm feeling really weepy. I feel like I should be trying to enjoy every bit of this, but honestly, I just feel overwhelmed.

My room isn't cleaned, so I can't even get the bassinet where it's supposed to go. I don't even have the energy to do it, so that's not helping. My mom is cleaning my brother's room, and has been moving everything out of it into the nursery, so the nursery is filled and I can't even get into it, so that just frustrates me and ruins my ideas of this... "perfect" nursery, having it all set up and ready, even if Zach isn't there to see it yet.

I'm frustrated with the baby shower because my friends who were going to help flaked, so now my mom is doing it, and she keeps complaining about having to do it because it's not really proper etiquette for her to do it. Anyway, because she's doing it, and she has work right now, I've been helping with things. Like making those popcorn boxes. But now our printer's broken and we don't have enough boxes done, and I just feel in over my head.

I feel like I cry all the time. I'm not depressed, I'm not upset about the baby... I just feel like every little thing is getting under my skin. I'm tired, I'm worn out, I'm hot, and I'm not enjoying this at all. I feel like it's more of a burden and I'll feel better when Zach gets here.

Is it normal to be totally weepy during the last month, or is it really not, and should I be talking to my doctor about it? I just... I seriously, even thinking about going outside in the hundred degree heat is enough to make me burst into tears. I'm trying to stay positive, and happy, and everything else, but it's just... Argh.

Sorry. Complaining over. I just want to know if it's normal to be weepy or if I'm just some ridiculous problem child at the moment.

Okay, thanks. That makes me feel better. My dad just walked into the room crunching ice (one of my big pet peeves). I burst into tears and went running out of the room.

Come on, Jen. It was friggin' ICE. Chill out. (no pun intended).

Awww, hang in there, hun. It's completely normal to feel so overwhelmed that you just wanna scream and/or throw something (or someone). And everything will be in it's own place when everything gets all organized and finished. It may not be "perfect" but it will be yours and Zach's. One day at a time, or even hour at a time. ((hugs))

totally normal. I remember my husband used to joke he would wish I would just go into labor so I would be normal again with my moods. Some women get it worse then others. Just take a little bit of time to do something you enjoy and relax. Just know itll all be worth it once he is here (oh and the perfect nursery...try not to stress over it. My in-laws told me with their oldest when they brought him home they just lined a dresser drawer for him to sleep in for the first few weeks because they didnt have everything ready yet!!)

Yup. Normal. I cry A LOT the last month of my pregnancies... a lot. lol (hugs)

hahaha i haven't been pregnant for 3 years and i'm STILL weepy! LOL

That makes me at least feel better. I don't feel as bad for crying about everything now. :P

It is totally normal. Cry your little heart out. Don't try to keep yourself from crying because your body is getting rid of toxins through tears.

And I know what you are going through. I remember when I was living at home before I had my DD (and after) and it was so frustrating because I wanted things to be different (dream nursery) and it is also hard because it is always hard to live with parents. You are an adult, but sometimes parents don't really see it that way (or still want things a certain way). I feel sorry for my DD now because I know she'd much rather be out on her own, but it just isn't feasible with her being a young single mom.

Just keep thinking "this too shall pass" and cry when you need to. Soon Zach will be here for you to snuggle and cherish. It is so exciting! You will probably still be weepy (and tired), but it is all worth it in the long run.

I don't do this so much during pregnancy, but the three weeks afterward are pretty much full-time waterworks. It's totally normal. Although, if it doesn't pass (or get substantially better) after a month or so from Zach's birth, I would bring it up with your doc. Hormones are amazing and powerful things!

SO normal. I think I'd prob cried more if I was preggo in this heat tho. And just lay under the fan naked. A lot.
