Ah the hormones. THE HORMONES! Pregnancy messes with us big time, and don’t we know it. One minute we’re laughing, the next we’re a flood of tears. But the one saving grace is that we’re not alone!

With all of the incredible changes going on in our bodies, and the fact we’re growing tiny humans, it’s little wonder that the smallest (and strangest!) things can set us off when we’re pregnant. But just because we’re pregnant, it doesn’t mean we don’t have a sense of humour.

So we asked our Mouths of Mums community to let us know all of the ridiculous things that made them cry when they were pregnant. And now we can all laugh at their answers together!
