I didn't use to (used to be mostly when I was angry or embarrassed, or really, really upset), but it seems like the past month or two anything and everything is setting me off. A sad story on the radio, a love song (All of Me does it right away), watching E sleep...if I didn't know any better I'd think I was pregnant! Seriously, this weekend I burst into tears for no good reason at all! I was just watching D and E play together! I feel like a crazy lady!
Do you cry easily?

Depends. I tend to cry more often now than I did prebabies but I wouldnt say easy.

Yep. When I see/hear about anything sad to do with animals, when I'm really angry, when I'm really anxious, when I'm really happy........

Yep! I'm super emotional and cry easily whether happy, sad, angry and also during sappy movies, stories on TV, etc.

Yes - I am very emotional and cry at commercials or greeting cards. It is out of control when I am pregnant...like out of control sobbing while watching sports

@sandy: hallmark commercials get me every time. But for me the biggest trigger is coming home videos for military men/women. I pretty much ugly cry when I watch anything about military families.... Which is strange since I have no direct personal connection to the military!!

Sometimes. Mostly when I am tired or stressed. Usually it's just an over-exaggeration of how I am feeling. DH tells me it's good I'm 'emotional.' He uses the word similar to how I would use the word 'passionate'.
Either way, when I'm TTC it's even harder to keep the tears under wraps--happy OR sad! I find myself pushing my tongue against the roof of my mouth and blinking hard a lot

I hardly ever cry.... Except for my yearly employer reviews - I always cry, which embarrasses me and I hate it 
I always tear up at the animal abuse commercials too.

Not at all. I do want to cry when I'm really mad/frustrated, though I rarely do.

Mostly from anger, frustration or tiredness. Something sad has to be really close to home for me to cry.
I just finished crying now because we have had such a long and tiring evening.

I cry over everything. It's embarrassing! I wish I could keep my composure better.

Nope! I get stressed and feel overwhelmed , but I don't cry often. Even with my struggles with the ups and downs of PPD these days, I still don't cry much. Maybe I internalize? Or whine? LOL.

Yes!! It's so bad. I used to never cry, I was like an ice queen but now... commercials, social media posts, cute things people say/do... I cry. I'm pretty good at hiding it but I get the sting behind my eye so often! I noticed that I started to become a cry baby after I met my husband, I think he opened up my emotions or something.
coconut / 8483 posts
Yep! I never ever did for TV or movies though until the last few weeks (pp hormones!). I'm even worse now 
honeydew / 7909 posts
Kind of. I don't cry at movies or books but I cry easily at real life things - especially when it comes to my baby. I'm super sensitive!
wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts
Probably yes compared to others. Now that I'm pregnant, ohhh boy. The waterworks!

More since having R. I cry a lot in the car when she is so upset and I can't comfort her.
pomelo / 5524 posts
Yes! I was bad before I had S...since having him, I'm a sappy mess!!!

I've always been a crier. Happy, sad, frustrated, stressed, you name it! Now that I'm pregnant it's even worse. I cried at a dog food commercial last night

I have always been an angry-crier! The first time I ever cried from laughing was while I was pregnant and since having him i've gotten teary eyed much easier than before!

I'm a total crier. Strangely enough, I'm best at holding it in when something actually sad. But something it touching, moving, happy--I'm a complete wreck.
wonderful olive / 19353 posts
Not really. I feel like things touch closer to my heart now post-baby though.
coconut / 8299 posts
Not really. Except if I hear a sad story (sad tears) or think about my mom (happy tears). I actually thought I was a big crier and always told people that I cried easily. But comparing myself to my friends, I'm definitely not a crier.
