Can you answer girls can’t what’s question about Menopause?:

I have a four year old and I have never went through this before. I know I;m not pregnant so that cant be it. But whenever I hear a baby cry no matter if it’s in a store or anywhere, I feel overwhelmed with emotions that result in me almost breaking down and crying and also I get hot flashes. I don’t think about it, it’s like my body does it on its own. Any advice would be helpful.

    Menopause Feedback: I don’t know if this helps or not, but I read in a prenancy book I had before I had my baby that mostly EVERY single person reacts to a baby crying in the same way; thier heartrates increase and they experience something comparable to anxiety. I always felt that way whenever I heard a baby cry before I had my daughter, now I am used to it, but before I had her I would always think “Oh god PLEASE make it stop.” I would seriously have anxiety, though I don’t think that is what you are describing, but it may be.
