Purchase options and add-ons

Enjoy an easy read of short, hilarious stories from hormone-fueled pregnant women on the brink of chaos – trimester by trimester – as they comically navigate their new feelings, aggravations and unexpected tears. Lots of tears.

From breakout author, Jennifer Johnstone Lopez, Why I Cried - Tales from Hysterical Pregnant Women is chockfull of short, laugh-out-loud stories from fun and relatable mamas during the most hormonal and downright confusing 9 months of their lives.

Though it’s hailed as the perfect baby shower gift, you don’t have to be expecting to find delight in this hilarious page-turner. If you’ve ever been around a hormonal pregnant woman, or if you ever were one yourself, this easy read will bring back long-forgotten memories, occasional laughing fits, and a sense of “sisterhood-in-motherhood” among the featured mamas. In the midst of all that pandemonium, you’ll be reminded how important it is to find your mom-tribe and lean into them as you take on motherhood.

Are you ready to laugh your way into your next read?

"I was eating lunch when I started looking through this - I nearly choked on my fish cakes! :p Funnnnnyyy!"

–Christina Engela, Author


“Pregnancy is a wild ride from start to finish, there’s no doubt about it. Lopez manages to capture the absurdity that can ensue in a personal and refreshing way that I, and I’m sure many others, can relate to. –K. M. Reynolds, Author & Mother

Fun and witty and I could so relate even though my last baby was 15 years ago! And though this book tells the tales of the pregger woes in short reads, many of the hormonal "fits" come even after childbirth... I mean, just when you thought your boobs couldn't get any more in the way, try nursing! :P

Although I’ve never been pregnant, I have always been curious as to how pregnancy affects others. After reading this hilarious, well written novel, I know that my experiences would be similar to the women who share their candid stories of love, cravings and anxieties during that nine month period. You will laugh at these stories, shed a few happy tears and fall in love with all of the mothers who bravely coped with their pregnancies. Jennifer Johnstone Lopez is skilled at helping us getting to know each contributor. Treat yourself and your friends to this fast paced collection of tales. It’s a must read for your pregnant friends and it would make a great shower or Christmas gift.

This book was hysterical and a must read for women of any age! Easy and utterly enjoyable reading with several true stories relating to a wide variety of preggo meltdown moments from not only Jennifer herself, but some of her life long friends as well as women she has bonded with in her mommy support group.
Maybe buy this for all the young teenage girls/boys in your life as a form of birth control too?? Girls, is crying for absolutely no rational reason for 9 months something on your wish list, and boys, do you really think you could handle this behavior? 😂😂😂

This book tells the true craziness that is pregnancy in a fun and lighthearted way. I love that she brings up postpartum depression and anxiety. I feel like most pregnancy books don't really touch on that and it's almost taboo. It affects a lot more Mama's than we think. Definitely worth the read!
