Is it normal to be feeling so gruff?

[~Hestia~]

I seem to be in a constant bad mood at the moment! I'm not overly uncomfortable or anything like that, just really easily annoyed. I feel like I'm just below boiling point all the time ITMS. The tiniest things make me wanna

Anyone else feel like this? Is it just hormonal?

[Sagres]

I don't know if it is normal but I am so with you today, anything and everything is just getting up my goat
Just realised I don't have a ticker, I am actually pregnant, not just some random angry chick!

[~Hestia~]

LOL glad I'm not the only one!

Just read your update - thanks for making me laugh for the first time today!

DF has already told me that he's moving out when i hit 30 weeks this time, apparently im not a very nice person. i told him he just becomes exceptionally annoying in the last 10 weeks

[~Hestia~]

skybie, I'm with you there!

That sounds familiar! When DD was a newborn I told DH he got more annoying the less she slept! A little unfair maybe?

[Me+him+bub]

its normal, trust me! my poor boys are copping it big time in my house!

[Cranky Kitten]

Yep, the meltdowns are entirely random at this point...DH's favourite saying at the moment is "duck and cover" as he scrambles to get out of my way...or to bring me chocolate icecream in hopes of appeasing the moodiness.

Yeah apparently its normal. DH is not keen on EVER having another baby because I become a monster Queen B I cannot seem to keep nasty comments to myself either I mean I really let it fly too.

I also tend to become more reclusive from 30 weeks, already I am feeling more like retreating within my cancerian shell. I prefer my own company and rarely feel like socialising even with people I am super close too ... maybe because it takes effort and its something I have little of because I am so tired

Nae x x

Perfectly normal! I felt like I was grumpy all the time in the last several weeks of my pg with DS2! I felt like my mum and DH were the most aggravating people in the world! Luckily for all of us, as soon as my baby was born I was nice again

[helle]

Yep.
And my kitchen and house has never been so tidy. XD

Thankyou everyone for replying! I actually brought this up to my midwife when I saw her the other day as it was getting worse She said some ladies cry and some ladies get angry all thanks to hormones. But while it is normal I need to calm down, so she suggested I make an effort to exercise as well as get some time to myself. If I still feel the same when she sees me in another fortnight we'll discuss it further I'm feeling better today though!

I love the way they say "get time to yourself" yeah coz when you're at home with a toddler thats easy to do FWIW I think part of the reason I hide is because of my moodiness, but at the same time, being cooped up at home seeing ALL the things that need doing makes me in a bad mood too ... its a no win situation

[~Hestia~]

LOL I know! I'm now on my own completely until basically Sunday! DH was there though so at least he heard it straight from the horses mouth, as opposed to me yelling it at him

[NaeNae]

You know what else makes me worse .... my DH ... well having to constantly remind him of things that I ask him to do 5 min earlier, OR when I say something and wait for a response, you know just the simple acknowledgement that he has heard me, it never comes so I am constanly repeating myself then he gets narky at me for whinging

[WannabeMum]

Nae - I thought that was just my DH!! Then you repeat yourself and you get the grumpy "I heard you the first time" - um, just say ok then!

I'm a little grumpy, tired and on a short fuse too. Scratch the little and write a lot. My Ob said it would be good to not have to deal with a toddler and get some more sleep - then he laughed. Sadistic *Q@#%$&^ lol. He's actually lovely and it was a nice way of him saying he gets where I'm at. DH has been working ridiculous hours, like 13 hours a day, from before DS gets up til after he goes to sleep, so I'm knackered too! I went through a week where just the mention of my MIL was enough to make my blood boil, and she hadn't done anything wrong!

At least we're not alone in our grumpy selves - nice to know it's normal girls! My house isn't clean though, unstable pelvis means cleaning isn't happening as much as I'd like - which doesn't help my grumpy self.

I'm being a massive moo cow to my DH (more than anyone). Everything he seems to do (or doesn't do!) pushes my buttons except for when he's at work, cause then I go all lovey dovey and miss him like crazy. I've even sent him loving texts or emails to remind him he means the world to me and I've often apologised for my behaviour in some of them as well but find I tend to rip his head off again when he gets home. Lucky him!
