35 Of The Silliest Things That Made Women Cry During Pregnancy
To all the new and expecting mamas managing intense hormones and mood swings right now, it’s okay to let the tears flow! Estrogen is surging, and it impacts areas of the brain that are responsible for controlling emotion. Due to higher than normal levels, it can be a lot harder to manage emotions and it’s common to have a cry sneak up on you.
Sometimes, the funniest things trigger a tear (or twenty). So why not have a little fun with it, shall we?
