I cannot be nice..anyone else?

[nattyfred]

Oh my god,

at the moment I just cannot be nice. Not to my husband who is usually fantastic but doesnt seem like he is intrested in the pregnancy, and thinks my foul mood is nothing to do with it because he cant be bothered to read a book or find out how he could possibly help me through this time, and he smoked in our house while I was away for 2 weeks...and I gave up as soon as I found out about the baby...Everything is happening for me but nothing for him.

Is this type of intense emotion normal at this time? I have been crying for 2 days and feel like I have no emotional control.

Oh NattyFred, you poor thing.
I think I got a big surge of grumpy hormones for a while there. Everything annoyed me, even DP who is one of the most non-annoying people I've ever met. He was so sweet he said he could put up with the grumpy hormones until the baby arrived. But after a few weeks it seems to have cleared up. Here's hoping your grumpy hormones fade away soon too.
However, the grumpy hormones disappeared at the same time the fatigue set in again. So I'm off to bed!

I hear you hun, I have found the smallest little things have been irritating me. Fortunately this time I have managed to keep my mouth relatively tamed - except for a recent incident with my mother

I have snapped at DH a few times and been a tad edgy at work but because I know that I am feeling agitated I let people know and they either avoid me or keep convos in a light hearted manner. Perhaps if you are feeling a particular way you can let people know too?

Like GTBBIA I have gone back to feeling really tired now so I tend to be sleepy more than anything else.

Yes its normal - enjoy the ride hun.

Hi I'm not 2nd trim, but... everytime I get a BFP my DH cringes...a big reminder why he does'nt like me pregnant, again he is the least offensive person you could meet but I find reasons to give him grief!!!It seems when I start I can't stop!!!!
I am occasionly human, for breif periods of time, but can lose it over anything...there has been times when I have thought we are going to split up and as soon as baby is here I can't imagine why I felt like it????
Darn preggie hormones, I will be apologising tonight for my nasty temperlast night. Best of luck but unfortunatly Nae is right to is quite normal... the ugly side of pregnancy.

Thank you all so much! Its nice to know Im not the only one experiencing this

I really felt like a crazy person yesterday, Dh and I have been arguing but I was the one escalating it, then was embarrassed but too proud to say I knew I was making it worse. It can be a vicious circle for me unfortunately. Sometimes I feel like such a battleaxe and other times I feel fully justified to be a bit demanding....Either way last night I made peace with Dh. It doesnt help that I was away for 2 weeks and then he is on nightshift so we are not communicating face to face and I want him to be more interested in what is going on ( he says Im demanding anyway and making up the excuse of the hormones to be worse...) I just think if he educated himself he might realise it is not just like sitting on an egg lol.

I got him the being dad dvd and he hasnt even watched it so this weekend I will make sure we watch that before anything else lol.

Oh I was also hideous to my sister but that is another story

Once again ladies I appreciate the words of wisdom/ advice. Thanks from a calmer version of the psycho from yesterday

i too am very snappy at my DP. We have almost broken up in the last couple of months..

I tell him ive been a ***** cos im hormonal, and he just thinks im using that as an excuse aswell!!

As for your partner not getting into the pregnancy, my DP is interested in the little things i say to him, like how big the baby is and that sort of thing, but as for reading anything i'd have to pay him to...he just looks at the big picture, but it annoys me because if he got into it, it would improve our communication,and we'd be sharing the experience more together.. so its a let down. I just dont expect much from him cos it only causes arguments.

In fact alot of things annoy me about him since falling pregnant again. And i tend to pick on him when im feeling crappy, and i always end up upset, so its a bad cycle!!
