Pregnancy

Moody as hell!

I'm 25 weeks pregnant with 1st baby & all's going smoothly so far, I've been very lucky with no bad pregnancy symptoms such as morning sickness etc etc.
But I'm SO moody at the moment - only with DH, & for no reason at all other than because every little thing he does is just irritating the crap out of me! I'm constantly having a go at him & he just can't do anything right. I try to control it & be nice to him, but the slightest thing sets me off & before I know it I'm shouting at him!
He's mostly just been ignoring these outbursts as best he can, I'm guessing because I'm pregnant & to avoid an argument (which annoys me - he really can't win!) but he's just shouted back at me tonight after I started a row & I could tell he was really mad, like he's been dying to have a go back for weeks. & now I'm crying about it, even though I started it & was gunning for an argument in the first place!
I'm doing my own head in, & I know I'm being mean to him. I think I'm maybe feeling a bit stressed about the baby coming & it's manifesting itself in this way? But I don't want to spoil this precious, happy time for us both! We usually get on really, really well. Please tell me this is just normal pregnancy hormonal behaviour?!

I hope things get better doe you soon OP. I've been an absolute grump these past six weeks or so! I'm a teacher and I'm sure my kiddies are pleased I'm on maternity now because I went from Miss Honey to Ms Trunchaball!
As for OH i was going to write about how bad I felt for being annoyed at him all the time but he's pissed me off this morning already!

Its normal just keep apologising after and explain its due to hormones. He'll soon start not worrying about it. My Dh was incredibly tolerant through all my rants. I had a go at him just the other day and cried and I'm 38 weeks. Then apologised later as i knew I was being ridiculous but he was really sweet about it especially as i haven't done that for quite a few weeks!

Good to hear it's normal & not just me! Even after having a word with myself I've still struggled today to be nice. The littlest things just set me off! I've not actually said/shouted anything yet, but my bitchy facial expressions & eye rolling must be saying it all because there's a definite tension between us & he's staying out of my way!

This is me, and it's pretty much been since early pregnancy too. I have a very tolerant OH at the moment, who never holds a grudge but I certainly must push him to the limit. Can't explain why and I do apologise. It's only with him too, no one else Confused it doesn't help I've not been well the past two weeks either so I've been feeling sorry for myself too!
