36 weeks today after 5 MCs, and need to take a chill pill... Everything is making me stressy, and I feel like chucking saucepans at DH! Please tell me this is normal, and funny stories will be really appreciated as I need to get my sense of humour back

Not quite as far as you (31+2) but I go from being teary eyed and coo-ee over my OH one minute to screeching gerrrrofffme don't touch me and hating his bloody chewing lol. Poor bastard. He was eating more than one chip at once and I thought that was uncouth and was grrrrrr but kept quiet. Only the cat doesnt bother me atm. I think you are normal!

misseskimo · 03/02/2015 09:53

Lol. I'm only 18wks and the last couple of weeks all I see when I look at my DH is his overgrown beard and it's driving me insane! Literally it's like I've chosen his beard as my hate point and everything about it annoys me. But he refuses to shave it, so I refuse to go near him until either my beard repulsion goes or he shaves so I think it's perfectly normal!

tannyLoo · 03/02/2015 09:57

Ha! I was watching him talk on his phone yesterday and thinking "Don't tap your foot like that! You look like a twat!"

oh was eating an apple a few weeks ago n i wanted to take it off him and throw it in the bin. i didnt say anything just sat quietly seething willing him to hurry up and finish the apple

theonewiththenoisychild · 03/02/2015 16:05

sorry i meant noisily eating a apple not just eating a apple he sounded like a washing machine

Serephim · 03/02/2015 18:09

My DH gets up before I me in the mornings, recently his sniffing, shuffling and rummaging round the bedroom is driving me scatty. I have got to the point I am actually covering my ears so I don't grrr at him

tannyLoo · 03/02/2015 19:08

I love it! It's making me feel sooo much better...

misseskimo · 03/02/2015 21:51

Lol! It makes me feel better too, I had heard stories of women "going off" their DP/DH but felt so guilty when I started doing it myself!

Kemlex13 · 03/02/2015 22:16

Haha 34 weeks and right now I bloody hate him! I hate his breathing, snoring, eating, speaking urgh even when he texts me he pisses me off.

He's been a moody shit since Saturday, we have 2 other kids, I'm supposed to be on bed rest yet seem go not stop. I enjoy letting the kids torment him. In a nice way lol it gets better (I hope)

i was cleaning the bathroom yesterday as i wanted a relaxing bath. i asked oh to get dc's pyjamas and he didnt so dd came pestering me so i shouted down to him and he said in a minute he was probably pi**ing about with his computer so i snapped at him. i put dc's to bed and wr had a blazing row. now im sat here thinking how i want to rip his head off for all the horrible things hes said to me

Buttwing · 04/02/2015 13:44

I've had four dcs and have wanted to kill dp through every pregnancy. By the fourth he would say I know the real buttwing is in there and she will come back once the baby is out.
Which of course used to make me even more cross a bit like when someone tells you that you're pre menstrual. After the babies have been born dp has admitted I was an evil bitch during pregnancy and he wanted to tell me to fuck off to the far side of fuck

LorelaiVictoriaGilmore · 04/02/2015 14:02

The other day (after I had just finished throwing up for about half an hour after a thirteen hour day commuting/at work) my dh looked at me in genuine confusion and said, "You always said you wanted children. I'm just surprised you're not enjoying this more." And then I killed him.

tannyLoo · 04/02/2015 14:44

I think we've really tapped into something here! DH took the dog for a walk this morning and I was cross with him for leaving the utility room door open, letting all the cold air in. And leaving me at home on maternity leave with 3 yr old DS with a cold while he swans off to his fucking piss easy job no, it isn't really highly stressful and underpaid, oh no.

Until this last week I thought we were soul mates, now I'm thinking widowhood must be quite nice.

Thank god I only have a few weeks to go!

I am laughing so much at this thread!

hazel88 · 04/02/2015 16:26

Me too hahaha!

rocketnot · 04/02/2015 17:01

I hate it when he breathes.
I literally can't stand it when he breathes too close to me.

onepieceoflollipop · 04/02/2015 17:06

When I was pg with dd1 (she is 11 now) I was so sick that I banned all scented shower gels, deodorants etc etc from the house, I made a real fuss at the time. I cried because my mum bought me a luxury orange shower gel for my birthday.
Years later I asked Dh why he always bought "plain" toiletries...the ban was so severe that he had never started buying "smellies" again!

Meplusyouequals4 · 04/02/2015 17:24

I'm 39+4 and I cry at the littlest thing. today it was cos DH asked if I was OK I'm fed up and bored so I just burst out crying.

yesterday I cried cos DD got upset cos she didn't want to have her hair washed.

LinzAJ · 04/02/2015 20:36

This thread is great, I feel normal for the first time in weeks!!! DH is safe as I have stopped hating him for just breathing, I'm 40+9 so over the worst I think.

Now I cry cos I have to leave my dog with my friend whilst we go to hospital tomorrow to be induced!!!

onepieceoflollipop · 04/02/2015 20:42

Ooh exciting Linz...hope all goes well tomorrow x

tenwrigglywigglycaterpillars · 04/02/2015 20:47

I found DH really irritating too so I'd grump at him aaaaallllll day long. But I was also insatiably horny (raging hormones) so the poor man didn't know if he was coming or going (ha ha ha!)

This pregnancy dh had been annoying me the whole way through. (Along with men in general.) last pregnancy I loved dh more than anything and didn't want to be apart from him. This time I get annoyed when he is in the house!

Fluffeh · 05/02/2015 06:32

Yesterday I shouted at dp for breathing in the car when I felt sick. His breath isn't objectionable I just could feel it and it was making me want to vom.
I take my irrational anger out on him as he sleeps by poking and elbowing him when he snores a little harder than I need to :D.

Zahrah5 · 05/02/2015 06:35

I got crying fit when my husband broght me bag of clothes he bought for me. They were all like 5 sizes bigger. Some of his female coworkers advised him to get big size clothing instead of proper maternity wear. So he wanted to suprise me and did just that.
They were gianormous. Im aldready big, but how how about huge depressed hyppo in a tent?
