I haven't been overly emotional during my pregnancy at all (aside from a few times when I blame tiredness - I burst into tears when John did the washing up and cleaned the kitchen at one point) which I'm really surprised at, but I have found the past few days that I have found the smallest thing brings a tear to my eye and a lump to my throat!While I fully admit I'm not the thickest-skinned person, I have found that even books have upset me and pregnancy books at that. A colleague gave me a book by an author who had fairly wacky pregnancy/parenting ideas and she was so harsh, it made me cry! I actually felt like she was having a go at me for my views on parenting! Which is ridiculous but it's not a good read.
Don't buy it.
I've also had to learn to stick with what I say about what I eat - this same colleague assumed I was doing this totally organic, low carb, low everything pregnancy regime and was shocked when I said I'm just eating less sugar (most of the time!). John has been helping out loads dinner wise and we've been solid in our very healthy lunches and dinners. I admit to some snacking in between but the sickness thing has disappeared now so I usually just drink loads of water, which I wouldn't do if there wasn't a water machine right by my desk! Plenty of fish, poultry and meat along with pulses, beans and veg. Yum! I totally went off tea and coffee initally but the desire returned a few weeks ago thank goodness. I did miss my tea.
