    Angry Anyone else extra cranky 2nd tri?

    If i didn't know better I'd think I had just wondering if anyone else has been really angry at even small things?
    I've been sooo cranky the last few days and it doesn't seem to be getting any better.

    I have certainly been quick to get cranky during my pregnancy but it is hard to say if it was during a trimester or just spread across the whole pregnancy lol

    I find that certain things really erk me straight away that I would have previously been ok with or just ignored - DP calls me the preggo monster (which erks me no end!)

    I can definitely say I was more cranky in my 2nd trimester than I am in my third.
    I'm alot calmer now & the little things aren't bothering me like they were in the earlier months. Plus 2nd trimester is when people started bugging me with all their questions & touching!!
    I think it's very normal to be extra sensitive with all the hormones doing their thing.

    I was really hormonal in the first tri, then the second i was completely normal, and happy, didn't need to sleep all the time, no more morning sickness, then the third tri came along, and i turned into this huge, tired, cranky, crying monster. Lol.
    I go nuts at everything these days. I hate admitting i'm wrong, or saying sorry, so this past eight weeks have been crazy for me. I say sorry all the time now.
    Ash and I are the "Proud Coopers!" Lol. Yes, alot like the "Proud Turks" out of Scrubs (we LOVE that show)

    i dont know about extra cranky, i think i have stayed about the same.
    Im not too bad, i dont think so at least
    But little things tick me off and now i cant hold my tongue, before i even know it im spewing my thoughts to whoever is standing there and usually regretting it.
    Most people are ok with it "oh hun' your pregnant.. its ok to be that way!!" haha

    Hiya
    I am definitely more cranky than normal - I am generally a very calm person who deals with everything rationally. Not anymore - I seem to shout at my poor DH for everything, my boss is peeing me off all the time, and when I am not shouting I am crying!!

    I am really hoping things calm down soon otherwise I might find myself a single parent without a job very soon!!!

    You are not alone willow5.

    DEFINATELY!!!

    Ive been getting so angry with DP over such little things. Like i was cooking last night, and he told me not to add salt to this silverside i was cooking, and i snapped...i yelled at the top of my voice at him, told him off for interfering lol

    He was shocked and walked off...

    And i scream at the cat when she meows...

    And get stressed at absolutely nothing....

    Its beyond a joke how wound up I am 2nd trimester

    Glad to know I'm not the only one, I was ready for being weepy but I did think I had seen the last of my vicious PMS for a while.
    I too can't seem to hold my tongue if it p***** me off that's it I'm off letting people know in no uncertain terms, then thinking omg that wasn't really called for, but then thinking yes it was they deserved it!
    I'm horrible..don't even like being around myself at the moment!

    LOL, thats like me, ill yell at someone or take my anger out over nothing...and then only moments later, I feel like a total idiot lol.
    Or my partner will just try and cuddle me and ill snap, telling him to get the eff off me....then about ten minutes later, i realise how rude i was and go back and apologise to him lol

    weird how our emotions work....and i thought i didnt have any mood swings...lol, i must be in denial...

    Hey Willow,
    Is your crankiness more or less permanent, or does it come and go?
    I just spent nearly a week in a foul mood for no obvious reaons. I told DP it was grumpy pregnancy hormones and he says he can cope with them for a few more months. (I hope it's not a permanent condition, that's for sure).
    I think the mood has lifted now but it really did feel like a bad case of PMT.
