    Is it normal to be feeling so gruff?

    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?

    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!

    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

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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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!
