How CRAZY are hormones?

When you’re trying to conceive, you hear about pregnant women being bitchy and emotional, and you think “haha awww I’ll probably cry at cute puppies or get all hangry and cute.”

Well sometimes this may be the case, but I’m about 6 weeks now, and let me tell you how HORRIBLE pregnancy hormones really are.

I just had the most embarrassing night of my life. I’ve never cried in public, my husband and I have never gotten in an argument in front of people, and I’ve NEVER been one to freak out over insignificant shit.

My husband and I were walking around Walmart’s baby isle, getting some prices written down on products we wanted so we could make our budget. We had just gotten to the clothing isle, when one of my husband’s favorite songs came on the radio: “Boys of Summer by Don Henley”

My husband is a musician, and is very animated, and he has never been above singing along and dancing to his favorite songs in public. As soon as I heard the first couple notes, I turned to him and snapped: “Don’t you DARE sing this song right now.”

Well of course he proceeded to start singing along and air-guitaring the song instead of pushing the cart. I. Flipped. A. Shit.

Next thing you know, I’m bawling, saying he doesn’t care about our baby budget, doesn’t care about getting our baby nice things, and saying I can’t deal with him anymore IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STORE. My tears were flowing out like a waterfall. My husband is meanwhile desperately trying to calm me down, and ends up having to sit on the floor of the baby section with me, hugging me, profusely apologizing for singing a song he loves 🙃

I’ve apologized now, he thinks it’s hilarious, but I’m MORTIFIED and feel terrible for saying such mean things to my honey! I had no idea pregnancy hormones were SO BAD. Nobody told me they were bad enough to make me freak out at my amazing husband in public over something so stupid.

What’s your embarrassing hormonal story from when you were pregnant? I can’t be the only woman who’s had a psycho hormonal meltdown... I hope 😬
