7 Things That Can Make An Expecting Mum Cry Unexpectedly

Ineh Olisah

It is indeed true that an expecting mum is prone to having their emotions in over drive, albeit not irrationally since their reasons for crying can be explained. While an on-looker may not be able to rationalise why her emotions are all over the place, we make a humble attempt to provide the most common reasons pregnant women cry unexpectedly…

1. Not knowing what to eat when hungry

2. When a pregnant woman orders a meal, patiently waits for her meal to be served and realises she’s been served the wrong food. Oh, this would make any pregnant cry. You don’t mess with a pregnant woman’s food.

3. When their old clothes can no longer accommodate their expanding bellies and having a hard time finding something decent to wear.

4. When people comment about their weight gain, especially their husbands or partners.

5. Nausea, morning sickness, backaches and constipation can make a pregnant woman wish her pregnancy away. And if there’s little or nothing she can do to ease these discomforts, why won’t she cry. Here’s some tissue!

6. According to boldsky.com, pregnant women often go through a phase of insecurity. They are gaining weight and that makes them insecure about their looks. They are not able to work at the same pace as before, so they become insecure about their jobs. So, the insecurity can make pregnant women cry once in a while.

7.  Watching a baby commercial or coming across some cute and nice baby things from cute baby shoes, to little onesies or a baby all have strong potentials to make a pregnant woman cry.
