I had my first hormonal breakdown at 24w5d...

Yesterday I went to the dr. for my monthly visit and gained 9lbs this past month which brings my total to 24lbs thus far. The dr. wasn't to happy with so I was trying real hard today to watch what I eat. I was miserable! So as I was cooking dinner I opened the fridge and DH thought it was amusing that I wanted some sweets and I just started to cry uncontrobaly, it lasted 5 minutes. Has this happened to anyone else?

While I'm sorry it happened to you, I'm thrilled that you were at home.

Unfortunately mine happened at work. I was arguing with my boss about something he claimed he told me and that I must've "forgot" because I was pregnant. All of a sudden tears starting coming out. I wasnt sad or upset, I was just really angry. To this day, I cringe when I think about it...and you know what.. HE DIDN'T TELL ME.

I've had two or three crying spells and I'm just over 22 weeks, as for your weight gain don't get upset, I have gained the same as you and my dr is not concerned. Everyones body does different things. I've decided that since I still have so long to go I'm just going to try and make some better choices with my food, and cook better. I wouldn't worry about it

Welcome to MY world! The stupidest things make me cry these things. God help JT if he looks at me the wrong way!

For me it was much earlier
As far as the weight gain between 6-7 months is where you generally see a big jump. Don't worry though, you have to take into consideration the baby is growing more, and the rest is placenta weight, fluids, etc. Hang in there

I have had a hormonal breakdown just last week at 25weeks. It was over the silliest thing. Now that i think about it, I ask myself...what was I thinking?! Nevertheless, it happens and I am sure it will happen again.

As for your weight gain, like another poster said the baby is growing and the rest is placenta and fluids. Try not to stress yourself too much about it. When I gave birth to my son 6 yrs ago, I lost 20 lbs almost immediately, I would say within a week of giving birth.
I am hoping that this will happen with this one too

I had mini-breakdowns all the time... it's the hormones, but it's also scary thinking about how much your life is going to change in a few short months!! Hang in there... and as for the weight gain, try not to put so much pressure on yourself. I went through the same thing - I ended up gaining 45lbs! But, within 10 weeks post-partum it all came off... you'll be fine no matter what you gain

Thanks for all the support ladies

Re: I had my first hormonal breakdown at 24w5d...

I also gained a lot of weight from one appt to the next and my dr told me to watch my eating. I have been very hormonal with this pregnancy. I can watch a sad movie and burst into tears or get really upset over things that normally wouldn't upset me.

DH came home last night from work and surprised me with a box of Entiment's donuts and he put a bow on it, LOL. I thought it was so cute
