Not Suitable For Pregnancy

I believe there should be special warnings for pregnant women on TV.  I’m not talking about labels on alcohol bottles, food and medicine.  They should warn us before showing a particularly sappy love drama, a story with a sad ending, anything with puppies or children dying or gruesome scenes of women in labor.  My crazy hormones make it so easy to cry at the drop of a hat.  I cried this morning on my way to work listening to that Taylor Hicks song Romeo and Juliet. Seriously.  And its a happy song.  A warning would have been particularly helpful prior to the series finale of ER tonight.

  1. It only gets worse after the baby comes, sorry to say! I was crying watching the Today Show- they were talking about a commercial that showed a 4 year old who thought he had lost his mom in a train station. I’d get it together and then they’d show the boy again and I’d lose it again!!! One of my girlfriends I work with said, cheesy as it sounds, that when you have kids, it’s like your heart exists outside your body. So true. Welcome to the journey!!!

  2. This is so true! Having a child took me to an entirely new level of experiencing love and all the emotions that go with it.

  3. Amen, Carrie! I mean, I always cried a lot, but now that I have the boys…I can’t watch ANYTHING without crying…happy, sad…anthing. And, oh, after ER ended…I looked at Carl and said (no joke), “I’m so glad I’m not pregnant now…that episode would have ruined me!” AGH! Awful. Note: I was crying anyway, but wasn’t SOBBING.
