Yes, I do believe there is such a thing. I have experienced it. This crying hormone rears its head during pregnancy. This current pregnancy is no exception and it seems to be in abundance. Anything and everything makes me cry these days.I get sick...I cry
I am tired... I cry
The house is a mess... I cry
I have no energy to clean...I cry
The children cry...I cry...it doesn't even have to be my child.
Hubby has to be at the hospital overnight for work...I cry
I have a conflict in the schedule...I cry
The thought of my dental appointment that I still need to schedule...I cry
I watch Princess Diaries...I cry...there is nothing, absolutely nothing in that movie to cry about!
I went to church yesterday, hubby was gone, after dropping the little one off I realized I was a bag short. The bag I carry my Bible in was left at home on the table...I cried! I was telling a friend at church about it and started tearing up. Her hubby was looking at me like I had completely lost it and said, "It is a church I am sure we can find you a Bible to use." Funny I know but I cried.
When I spoke with my hubby later that afternoon I related the story and cried again.
I emailed a friend and cried as I typed it!
When anything slightly stressful happens the tears flow with an over abundance very disproportionate to the event.
I am aware that this Crying Hormone is at work and try to divorce the tears from the situation and see things clearly but it is a difficult task.
I am in awe that the Lord has blessed us with another child (which also makes me cry tears of joy and gratitude) but I wonder why all the tears! Since the Lord keeps our tears in a bottle after this past week I think I must have moved up to a larger bottle!
So, please say a prayer for me then leave me a comment. Any comment at all. Go ahead, I dare you! *grin* No matter what you leave, even if it brings a smile to my face is sure to make me cry too! *grin* Which just maybe is something I need right now!

You are not alone. I cry when I'm happy, I cry when I'm sad, and I cry for no reason at all. I cry at movies, commercials, and songs!!! This too shall pass!!!

LOL! I know just what you mean, I am due in Dec. and I found myself crying over everything last week.... Silly things, like I can't find the scissors, or just looking at my kiddos bb pictures. Once I got started, anything would set me off again!.... :-)

Wait unti thenew one starts kicking. THEN the crying really starts - So far I haven't been a crier, except for the one time at 18 weeks Idi t't feel this little girl for a few hours -- I was doing that wordless prayer at 2 in the morning - when she finally kicked I cried. Fortunatly He has given me peace since then (and at 23 weeks I can feel her MUCH better)

You are not alone - the crying hormone is REAL! During one of my pregnancies I cried at a pampers diaper commercial. It was the one at Christmas time when they show all the cute pictures of the sleeping and peaceful babies. My husband just shakes his head at me and laughs. My kids are always checking out my eyes to see if I'm crying at commercials now.
Blessings,

I definitely cried more during pregnacy. With both my daughters it peaked a couple of weeks after the birth, when I would just cry and have no idea why...and even as the tears would flow, I would be oompletely happy, not depressed or sad at all. Very confusing, isn't it?

Cry all you want. Eat some chocolate too. Maybe don't eat chocolate every time you cry...but do at least eat a bit of chocolate. That has nothing to do with crying, but chocolate makes everything better am I right? =P

Oh yes, I can relate. At least I remember crying a lot when I was pregnant. Right after my second child was born was the worst. I remember being at the doctor and just sobbing because I was so blessed. So weird! But true! Blessings to you.

I know how you feel, except that I'm not pregnant! I cry at things that have to do with children, like neglect and the like. When I was pregnant I cried at the part in the movie "Father of the Bride" when the babies are about to be born and Martin Shore and Steve Martin are bonding! Crazy... there's no explanation. I pray the Lord would give you grace as you go through this season. Don't stop the tears, if they need to come out, let them! Congrats on your baby! What a blessing!

I'm not pregnant, but weaning my 1 yr. old. It seems to me my hormones are all messed up right now. One moment I'm happy and then the other I'm crying, moody, all messed up. Though, I think pregnancy was worse, and having a girl was definitely more emotional.
Hope you ride steady these up and down waves. -
