The Funniest And Most Irrational Reasons Pregnant Women Have Cried

Being pregnant is difficult. Sure, you're bringing a baby into the world, it's the miracle of life, but your hormones are all over the place and your body is not your own. Sometimes you're going to cry for no reason, or for a reason that seemed perfectly legitimate to you at the time, but in hindsight, it seems a little silly.

Remember ladies, you are not alone. Crying over random things is a rite of passage when pregnant. And to all the husbands who don't know why they're wife is crying? Just let it happen.

So imagine you go to all that work, and then your husband just goes and walks all over the perfect vacuum lines on the carpet. You'd cry too, right? As Adrianna said, "my poor husband." Husbands have to learn to accept the tears during pregnancy, for any reason.
