    M2C - your body is being flooded by hormones at the moment - and that's gonna mess with you! add to that the issues you've been having with bleeding, you're putting a higher than normal hormonal load on top of a whole lotta stress! my dh copped a bit of flack early on because of hormones (still does, but more the teary mess kinda thing at the moment!) - i'd say it's pretty fair to say you're a bit of a mess at the moment and that everyone needs to cut you some slack!

    i am like this too- especially bad in the first trimester- i turn into a psychopath!! maybe you're having a ds this time and that's why you feel different to when you had dd

    Aah yes!! I seem to fly off the handle at tiny things...so poor DF is copping a lot at the moment. I just can't seem to stop myself from firing up! It happens at work too, but at least there I don't say anything, it just simmers silently in my mind...I don't know which is worse!

    M2C - you're not a horrible person! You're probably just adapting to all of the changes that are occurring to both your body and your lifestyle! My fiance has copped a fair few of my 'episodes' as we call them....

    i'm hoping it's very normal! i had a minor hissy fit in DJs when they took too long to serve me (imo!) the other weekend...DP is being very tolerant, patient and kind. the one upside is that i'm being far more assertive at work, which i'm loving!

    DH is used to the hormonal episodes now that he just does whatever unreasonable thing I ask. Poor DH

    It's like I know I'm doing it but I can't control it and then we have a laugh about it later. I'm like a roller coaster sometimes.

    With my DS I was happy and calm.

    This time, I'm just angry and determined to get even with someone. I'm not sure what I'm going to get even with, but I'll find something if it kills me!!!

    WATCH OUT!!

    By that, you're not alone!

    Hi M2C
    Very normal could be a DS as i was a total b**tch when preg with DS although this time its a girl and i was pretty mellow (up until now) i believe evening primose oil helps with that but just check its ok to take in first 12 weeks.

    That's how I knew I was pregnant with dd#5 - I was a complete raging b*&$%!!

    By about twenty weeks, I usually settle down to a happy mellow vibe. That's where I am now

    I wouldn't say I get angry, but frustrated YES!

    DD (10 mths) is on the move, she won't lay still on the change table - sometimes I end up changing her on the floor for safety. She blows raspberries in my face when I try and feed her. When I give her a bottle (most times) she wants to turn around and won't take the entire bottle. I REALLY have to struggle with her, and everytime I tell her sternly 'no' - she laughs at me! Little bugger!!

    Normally I'd just chill out about it all and give her the food / bottle in her own time but now I'm almost feeling insulted lol - that she isn't listening to me...

    But she is so cute with her only two bottom teeth smiling at me!
