I did when i was pregnant too. That I know is natural. But I mean well I can read a stroy to Alaura, she is almost 1, and start to cry if the character dies. I'm scared to finnish reading Charlottes Web. But I cry when it's things that I don't need to. If it's something happening in real life, the only time I cried about stuff was with my brother. Long stroy short in that, I fought with his wife, argument, insulted her for many reasons, heck people that i tell everything about (why leave out the fact that i called her the B word, or put on my head phones. Childish but there is more to the story than that.) They agree with me that she was being obnoxious as well as I was. Nevertheless finally he told our other brother to give me a hug (they moved to Ohio and we live in California) I started to cry, that's his way of saying everything is alright. Ben never really used his words. But I still cry over the stupidest reasons. even sweet commercials. stare I miss not being like that. Quote: If you don't want to read all of that, pretty much my question is when will I stop being overly sensitive. My daugheter is almost 1, on the 15 of this month, and i think i will cry on her birthday. I am still breast feeding. she hates bottles and she is ok with a sippy cup if it has sugar free 100% juice from trader joes w/e.

What kind of juice is it? I've never heard of sugar free 100% juice, but alas, we have no TJs here.
On subject, I have noticed after becoming a mom I am more sensitive to mushy stuff when I wasn't before. If you're worried it's something like baby "blues" that never went away accompanied by other feelings that you are worried about, it certainly won't hurt to talk to a professional.

I am almost positive I have babies blues, but what I tend to do is everything normal, once she is asleep, cry in the shower, or watch a sad movie, pretty much what i did when i was on my peiord.

Well the reason I put blues in quotation marks is because the blues are supposed to go away within a month after birth. Really, I would be concerned with postpartum depression. From what I've read PPD can happen anytime in the first year after having a baby. http://www.womenshealth.gov/faq/postpartum.htmQuote: "The blues" are considered a normal part of early motherhood and usually go away within 10 days after delivery. However, some women have worse symptoms or symptoms last longer. This is called "postpartum depression."

If you're just crying over sappy commercials I doubt it's because of baby blues (which should be gone like Luna said in TOPS a month) or even PPD.
Being a mom simply makes you more sappy. XD
I tell people all the time that I used to be sane before I had kids. Not only has having kids made me more sappy (dude I was VERY VERY stoic before) it makes me more paranoid (not in the I need medication to control it type but slightly more worried, cautious, and accident and catostrophy aware).
I couldn't get all the way through the Pianist and NOT because of what happened to him but because of ONE scene where a woman is just HEAVING SOBBING and they explain because she smothered her crying baby to keep the nazis from finding them in the closet and they were found anyway. That stuff BREAKS me. I think about families trying to keep their children safe in warzones and I just can't take it I have to FORCE myself to think of something else because something happen to my girls is my most prevalent and absolute worse fear I would face every other one of my fears in most horrifying order to save my children.
Heh, it's kind of my guilty little pleasure now. To watch like extreme home makeover and just bawl my face off. xd

Yeah, I've become sappy too, I think its normal. I never ever have been a crier... injury, sad stories, even death... it never phased me. Then I had Logan. Now, everything makes me cry. Those stupid emails people send you and everything... Happy, Sad.. it makes me cry. The first time Logan actually smiled at me (about 2 weeks ago)... I bawled I was so happy because you could tell it was for real

Thank you. yea I cry of happieness or sadness more easly, but its not that bad I don't think, well it is pretty bad. I cried when watching An American Tale, i cired 4 times!
1. the song "there are no cats in america" when the mouse was talking about losing his first and only love to a cat
2. When the fire started
3. When Fivile thought he didn't want to see his family and he cried
4. when they found eachother.
I'm glad my daughter is young right now. i don't think i would want to go to the movies with her later on. i know i am bound to cry in a disney movie in the theaters.

OMG, Ok, I'm glad I'm not the only that's turnned sappy then... I was watching TV the other night and there was a movie on lifetime, and it was about this teen couple that had a baby, the mother wanted to put him up for adoption, and the father didn't... but the mother's mother basicly made her... so when the adoptive family showed up at the hospital, he kidnapped his son and ran away... then he went to stay with his grandmother and careing for the baby boy... it was a very touching story... and it made me cry several times... then right after (my mom changed the channel) there was an eppesode of CSI where there was a baby found dead in a car, and it turned out that the parents had had another child that had a deseise and both parents carried the gene for it, and there was a 25% that any child they had would have it, and they thought they were seeing signs of it in the young baby, so they gave him cough surup and left him in the car in the summer time crying and then to make things worse, the baby didn't even have it! crying crying crying I cried and cried and had to hold my baby close to me for quite a while... I don't understand how anyone could hurt or give up a chid like that... crying

*echoes Shinys* I've turned into a total sap too since Gabe was born. Oprah makes me cry, sappy Hallmark cards make me cry, silly disney movies make me cry! It's horrible. Like Nopenname I was very stoic before becoming pregnant and having my baby. I didn't cry unless I was extremely frustrated and at the end of my rope, or emotional because of my period. That was it.

I still can't watch CSI or Without A Trace or any show like that anymore. Or sappy shows like The Biggest Loser or Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. I just start crying and crying, and it's been months since I stopped nursing!

Oh my god, this thread (though I got teary just reading it D: ) made me feel better. sweatdrop
I -rarely- cried before I had my daughter (minus pregnancy hormonal crying bouts), and when I did, it was for major reasons, and always in seclusion...I don't like other people seeing me cry.
These days (and keep in mind my girl is two now), just about anything sets me off.
Anyone here seen Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire? [spoiler in white for those who don't wish to have the movie/book ruined] When Cedric died, I got teary. But when he (his spirit?) told Harry to take his body back to his dad...I cried. When his dad is all, "That's my son!", I was just uncontrollably sobbing. Little things just kill me... My friends who haven't had kids yet think I'm rather silly for it...and I -feel- silly. But I guess it's kinda one of those 'lasting changes' kids give you sometimes. sweatdrop
