yelling while pregnant :(

[Stevie]

ok so i had a tiny meltdown yesterday, and my DH and i got into an argeument over the phone (he works at the mines) and since he cant be here to do things himself, he expects me to be super woman and get a million and 6 jobs for him while he's away. anyway our air con broke yesterday and i had spent all afternoon frantically looking for the warrenty, and he called me so i had to tell him what happened, then he started "have u found the warrenty" "its where YOU left it" "you always put things in the wrong places" blah blah blah..i cop this alot as yes, i can be absent minded and misplace things BUT yesterday i didnt have it in me to hear all that, id been at work since six in the morning and as soon as id gotten home id discovered the air con and spent almost 2 hours searching, i was in no frame of mind for harsh words.. so then i lost it and started screaming down the phone at hime what a horrible person he was being to me and if he was more understanding he's give me a break (of course i wasnt so nice to him when i was saying it ) then when i got off the phone i had another yelling fit at my dog he'd made a mess in the computer room and i dont know, i guess i just went mental for a bit
once i calmed down, i felt terrible. my poor baby was inside me probly freaking out, or wondering what the heck was wrong with this mature woman thats sposed to be its mother
so i guess my question is, can yelling harm your unborn baby?

Thanks for letting me vent guys i do feel much better now lol

Stevie,

Sorry to hear you had a mini meltdown. No, I dont believe yelling can harm your baby. Try not to stress out, and remember to blame everything on the preg hormones - your allowed to ;-)

Ah, you poor thing. I remember yelling at our dog in my last trimester and worrying what bub would think. I don't think the noise of the yell would be bad, but try not to get too stessed.

Don't worry hon - it's perfectly normal to be a bit ratty during pregnancy although I think your outburst was warranted!

Bubs can't hear you until around 20 weeks so there is no need to worry about your little one thinking mum is a nutter They can pick up on stress levels but you need to be going through an awful lot of stress for it to really affect bubs.

I've been pretty moody throughout my pregnancy so far (although DH surprisingly tells everyone I've been really good!) and I often sit back and think my yelling was completely unnecessary. And yes, my poor darling dog has copped it a few times too. It's just one of those things and you know what, getting things off your chest can make you feel a lot better. Don't worry at all!

My DH does one thing that can be annoying but generally makes me laugh when I'm in a foul mood, he rubs my belly and says 'Don't worry Tarko, mum isn't always this grumpy'. It makes me giggle every time!

I am glad none of my children seem to have been affected by my yelling. I yell out to my older kids constantly... I think it will just make Bumpty more used to it when s/he is here because it really is a common occurance in my household.
I have only had yelling temper tantrums a few times through this pregnancy though, my poor DH I feel worse for him than I do for Bumpty because he has to deal with me! And I know that Bumpty couldn't hear let alone understand what I was saying whereas my poor DH could

[Stevie]

thanks guys
it makes me feel better to know that im not the only one who looses it.
i think i've been pretty good so far i think, my mood has really picked up into the second trimester. which i am very thankful for, but i do have my bouts,
my DH is lucky in a way, being gone for a week at a time he misses out on when im really grumpy, i try to be as good as i can when he gets back cozi miss him so much while he's gone i dont want us to waste any time argueing.
even the girls at my work have had to tell some customers when i almost burst into tears and walk out that the back that "you'll have to excuse Stevie, She's pregnant!"
ahh the joys of pregnancy

its all the hormones lol.
I lose it sometimes, like real bad...
My heart starts racing, and i just pop my top and have a yell sesh.

I think its all normal, especially when your DH was being a meanie bum to you...I say hats off to you for sticking up for yourself...show him you can fight back
