About the pregnancy cartoons
After many sleepless nights spent pondering the humorous nature of pregnancy, our yet-to-be-pregnant cartooning artist realized she was going to need some help from moms who'd been there. Happily, a beautiful collaboration between the artist and our snarky freelance mom blogger, the sarcastic journalist, sprung up to save the day! The humor was conceived together and each panel was hand-drawn by our relieved cartooning artist.

i like the idea of this one... i'm not sure how well i did delivering it. do you know how hard it is to depict someone looking truly upset and crying? it's not easy.
still, another nice little "slice o' life" panel which i'm not overly embarassed by.

I've been crying over the craziest things for the past two months and it's about to drive my husband insane! (I am 32 weeks)
At first he was very gentle and made me feel better when he comforted me but now he just thinks Im being ridiculous.
He just doesn't know how good it feels to cry about those silly things and get it all out!!
There are so many things we are going through and our head is crazy..
Just let it out! No reason to feel ashamed!

I'm 16 weeks and feel the same way. for example, I got home with a burger for my boyfriend and some fries for me. I was carrying the fries in my hand because, well ladies we all know we cant wait at all for anything, so anyways, as I was getting up the stairs I dropped my fries all over the stairs and when I went inside the house I started crying and my boyfriend asked me "whats wrong honey?" and I said "I really wanted my fries and I dropped THEM!!!" He cracked up laughing but hugged me and felt so sympathetic for the pathetic pregnant woman. lol

haha I feel like crying so much. It drives me crazy when I start to cry over nothing. My hubby doesnt know what to do so he just says sorry if I did anything. And then he will bring me a peice of pumkin pie or Cheese cake. It's so cute.

I cried my little eyes out the other day because i spilled my koolaid. my husband gets irritated with me because i start crying when he's trying to fall asleep (he gets up so early) and i can't stop and most of the time i can't explain what's wrong.

im 10 weeks pregnant and that is exactly how i feel sometimes. i am soo emotional. i cry if i spill my drink or drop something or can't find what im looking for. i cry over everything now. there was one day i was in the car with the baby's father and i was in between crying and laughing at the same time because i was sad over something stupid and he was trying to cheer me up. looking back at that moment it is even more hilarious than before.

You think it's bad that you cried during Titanic, try this on for size. I cried my eyes out when I watched BRING IT ON AGAIN b/c they weren't going to let her cheer in the competition at the end of the movie. Also with my first baby, my friend and I were making tacos and I was chopping tomatos and started crying, when she saw me crying, she started crying. So we were both in the kitchen crying when her boyfriend walked in. He saw us and turned around and walked out!

That looks just like the other day when i was frying french fries and i had to take the dog out and it started raining and the clothes were left outside getting wet... I was runnin all over the place my puppy was crying because i didnt give him enough time to poopie and i burned my foot because i dropped some hot oil and i was trying to protect the puppy. My feet were hurting so much and the fries were taking so long. When my husband got home i started crying and crying....

Im 27 weeks today and i am so emotional. My husband is getting confused every day with me. One minute i am laughing and having a good time, the other minute i am blaming him for being pregnant. Poor guy. When he asks me why am i crying, all i reply is that he doesn't understands me at all and the funny thing is that i don't understand myself either. LOOL.

I thought something was seriously wrong with me. I have depression normally, but in the first few months of my pregnant, deppression wasn't a problem at all. Now, I cry over nothing at all. I'll be perfectly fine, and then I become a raging b***h or my eyes just well up with tears. My husband just wipes em away, and kisses me... I don't know how he stays so patient with me.

OMG.. I completly understand the other day I was watching a televison commercial and it had the diffferent generations of women of women. then they show how the little girl grows up and starts her own family. I was crying for 2 days no joke. Everytime I would think of it. I would cry. When my BF asked me whats wrong I just said that was one of the most beautiful commercials I had ever seen.lol

i am 30 weeks and 1 day pregnant and the other day i started crying bc i realized i wasnt going to be able and get my house chores done for the day, when my husband got home he saw that i was upstairs crying and ran upstairs and was like honey are you okay what happened, well i was crying so bad that i couldnt talk. i really scared him, but i finally calmed myself down and he asked me why i was crying and i told him and he was like oh honey its ok ill do the rest of the chores. it was just really weird for me bc that was the 1st time since i have been pregnant that i started to cry over something so insignificant. i love my hubby.

These postings make me feel so much better... I cry ALL THE TIME until my husband's about to go crazy cause he can't comfort me! About half the time he cuddles me until I stop crying, but the rest of the time he gives up in despair and I just curl up on the bathroom floor, totally self-justified in my pity party because "he doesn't love me enough to keep comforting me" The poor thing. He just can't wait for our baby to get here and stop torturing poor mommy.

Hehe this is so true. This happened to me a couple weeks ago when my husband and I were planning on taking a trip. I was sitting on our bedroom floor packing my shoes in one of my suitcases and then just started bawling. My husband practically ran into the room with this really concerned look on his face saying "What happened baby? Are you okay" And all I could do was look up at him with tears still streaming down my cheeks, I held up my last pair of shoes and said "I can't fit them all in!"
He just laughed, held me until I finished sobbing and told me that it was the cutest thing he'd ever seen.

This is so true...I'm ending my 27th week and anything and everything makes me cry. For example, my husband and I had ordered take-out. Well, they had messed up my order and I was so upset that I started to cry. I can't believe these hormones.

It's fun to look back on the times I've cried over spilt milk... literally, or my messy room, or being so hungry that eating doesn't help.

Omg! This is soo funny to read all these comments... it seems so silly when you look back on it, but at the time it really does seem like the worst possible thing is happening. Last week my boyfriend tried to start a pillow fight, and I started screaming at him with tears welling up in my eyes, saying how insensitive he was being and he is the meanest person I've ever met. Poor guy was just tryin to lighten the mood!

Atleast shes in the kitchen and hasnt let the pregnancy get in the way of doing her work..but if another tear is shed, he should knock her off her block.

My boyfriend and I were playing a game one day and he got kind of cocky because he was winning and I ended up punching him (I've been known to throw a good punch) Well, anyways, right after I punched him I started feeling really bad and started bawling my eyes out. He held me in his arms and as I was crying I started to laugh at the same time for no reason at all. My poor babe was so confused by the whole situation. He's been really good about the mood swings though. I'm so proud of him.

What's funny is...I did the exact same thing as in the picture...I was trying to make some garden rotini and I kept coming back in the kitchen to check my water and it wasn't boiling at all. I started to cry and when my husband came in form outside he asked me what was wrong. I told him my water wouldn't boil!!! He said "oh, I turned it off!!" He felt so bad!! I didn't even have to fix my rotini after that...he fixed it for me!!

i agree with Tamica, when i was pregnant with my first son my husband was in iraq and didnt have to deal with my mood swings and now all's he says to me is "i wish i was still in iraq when you have your moments" he doesnt even no what to do anymore he just lets me bawl my eyes out or scream at the top of my lungs, sometime this week we had went to mcdonald's and my number 6 wasnt warm enough and i started crying and my husband was like "whats wrong now i didnt say anything" and i said "my sandwich is to cold can you turn around and ask for a new one oh and ask for sweet and sour sauce for my fries PLEASE" and he said" your kidding right" i was like " are you kidding me have you looked at me lately i'm f*cking pregnant or have you forgotten" he said " ok calm down i'll go in and ask but i doubt they'll make another one seins how its 11:00 at night" but he did and they didnt so he gave me his sandwich which was something else and was hot. so i no how you feel and i cant wait for it to be over, neither can my husband i think he's more stressed out than i am. lol

OMG!!! dats so funny because im constantly crying and sometimes its for the most dumbest reasons too. like i started crying because my guy wouldn't buy me lemons even though we had limes at the house i didn't want limes so i cried till i got my way... then there was this other time where i was in the back seat and the person to the left of me got out and shut the door so i thought okay ill just go the other way....but no... it so happens they shut the door on me too... and i just started balling while they where laughing for a little bit until they saw me crying... but i was so mad at the whole world that time ... it felt as if no one cared for me or had forgotten of me it was one of the dumbest and sad moments of ma life... and i still cry for dumb reasons... but i try not to because they say its bad for the baby!!!!
Comment on 20th Dec '07 @ 12:29 amThis comment is 1
If crying hurt babies, we'd be in big trouble. I'm only 8 weeks and I'm already an emotional wreck. Ugh. I get really angry and right after that I'll get super mad at myself for crying over nothing. And crying gives me a huge migraine. Yay. By the way, Tylenol does NOT work on migraines.

Small animals really trigger my tearducts - at first it was just the really obvious culprits on documentaries, but by about week 12 I was in floods of tears over the polar bear cub and baby penguin in an animated TV commercial (sharing a bottle of cola). What really, really set me bawling for a full week was an e-card my mother sent of a yellow smiley stretching out spaghetti arms and saying "I wish I could give you a hug" or something.... There, see, I'm tearing up again at the memory!
Comment on 24th Feb '08 @ 9:19 amThis comment is 1
yeah, while pregnant with my daughter I would just start crying out of nowhere.. like balling, not just the little tear here and there. While crying I would get mad and keep asking myself "why?" lol i felt lame in those moments..

Jojo, I completly agree. I hate myself when I am in the middle of crying and I get mad at myself for crying. Oh these pregnancy hormones, how fun.

I'm 22 weeks. Sometimes I "Just feel like crying" at night for no apparent reason. I usually warn my husband by telling him--I feel like crying. He says:"go ahead and cry then" and I'll let it out and feel fine. And sometimes I'll watch a sad movie on the Lifetime channel just so I can cry!

I haven't been real emotional, until the past week. (I'm 27 weeks now) I cried myself to sleep last night because I overheard someone make a fat joke, and I thought it was about me!! Haha, so ridiculous, but I just couldn't help it!
