Every time I see a pregnant woman outside, I secretly salute her for being able to carry on with her day, without succumbing to the pregnancy hormones and challenges that we know every woman deals with. The fact that women are still expected to work and fully manage their lives while pregnant is insane to me, and so I feel like we all need to show our support to the pregnant ladies in our lives who manage to do that every single day for 9 months straight.

This Reddit threat is here to shed light on some funny symptoms that pregnancy and hormones bring along. Specifically being over-sensitive and crying over the most ridiculous things. I quite enjoyed reading stories of pregnant women crying over silly stuff, and I wanted to share some of them here, as a reminder of how much we should appreciate the moms of the world.

    particularly long day at work so it was kind of him to offer. As I was sitting there, I realized that he would probably cut it into squares like I normally do. Only the idea of pizza in the shape of a square made me really nauseated. A triangle slice sounded fine

    though. I didn't want to seem nit- picky since he was already doing me a favor. He brought it to me in triangles! I cried because I was so grateful that he cut a dang pizza into normal slices instead of squares.

    cool myself down. Shouting" I just wanted to go get my husband from boot camp" and this poor young officer backed up with his hands in the air and tried to very calmly say" it's okay. I'm going to let you go" but because I was crying and hysterical I could not

    hear him and I just got worse and worse until another officer showed up (I think he just happened to be passing by when this was happening) and she came to my window and was like" it's okay. He's not going to even give you a citation of any kind. Just be on your way. Just breathe." Lmao

    My husband stayed up the night before peeling them and when I saw them I cried because it was so sweet, but also because I knew it wasn't enough to last me all day while he was at work.
