I need your help.

SooOoOoooOoOoOOOoooo ....

I've become a complete cow, and am losing the plot over the smallest things (yet most irritating)

yes I am pregnant, but it is starting to affect *ME*

This pregnancy I am finding it to be rather stressful and Im a bit anxious, in comparison to DD I am just a downright a$$hole and I KNOW I am being this way.

DP and I have had a few stressful weeks, which hasnt helped!

What can I do? How can I help myself? My mum has suggested meditating, which I think I should do as well, but I just feel so uptight and irritated most times, but then 2 seconds later am laughing!?? LOL Looney I know!

TIA for all advice

Congrats on your pregnancy MissM but Im sorry that things arent so happy atm I dont really have huge advice but when I was incredibly moody from IVF hormones DH would suggest that I stop, breath, count to 10 and see if I was still angry then. Of course I lost the plot at him for suggesting at the time but on occassion it did help. Take it easy on yourself hun, there are so many hormones pumping through those veins of yours

Thanks Lily dust, after my break out this afternoon, i started wondering if the counting thing would work for me. Might have to try it! The worst thing is I upset myself to the point of tears because i feel bad for telling people off.

Awww sweetie, youre pregnant and that doesnt help with the feelings of guilt, anger, sadness, happiness so big you could burst, pride, excitement, overwhelming feelings and oh the list just keeps going but I see your ticker says your 14 weeks so maybe with the hormones staring to plateau for a while you might feel a bit better

I'll try not to be too hard on myself. But even my boss had a word with me and he's pretty easy going. Might have a chat with him in the morning.

Thanks Lily dust, I feel a little better now.

oh I'm so sorry you feel this way, it's so awful when you feel like your moods are out of your control. Hopefully those pesky hormones will settle soon and you'll start to feel like yourself again. In the meantime, I have some wonderful hypnotracks that my massage guy gave me- pm me and I'll be happy to send you a disk with them on it. They really helped me visualise when I was pregnant and calm myself down before I snapped...well....most of the time

Are you expecting a boy? I guess at 14 weeks you wouldn't know yet, but I found that with DS I was moody when I wasn't with DD and am not moody at all normally. I figured it was the testosterone from carrying a boy and found that a daily dose of DTD really helped. When I started getting snappy, DH was like "we need to use up some of those extra flowing hormones - you, bedroom". LOL.
