Is it normal to feel like this when pregnant?

I'm 30 weeks and I just can't stand him most of the time. I feel like such a horrible person but everything he does is annoying me. I don't want him to touch me, I can't sleep in the same bed at the moment because I just want my own space.

I feel so angry at nothing. I'm either in a constant bad mood where I snap over the smallest thing or I'm crying over nothing.

Obviously I am being unreasonable because he's not actually done anything wrong. But did anyone else feel like this? I do love him by the way (can you tell? 😂) and I'm hoping this feeling will go when I'm less fat and uncomfortable.

I’m 28 weeks, and while I’m not quite as extreme as you I can relate! Even the way my husband breathes sometimes annoys me GrinBlush

Like you I know I’m being unreasonable so I say nothing, he’s a great husband and I love him to pieces. But those hormones can be pretty intense!

God yes. This was why I originally started sleeping in the spare room quite early on because his breathing just seemed so much louder and more annoying than it ever had before 😂😂

Fortunately he's being pretty patient with me.

I felt like this. I hated being pregnant, and the fact that he couldn't share the mental and physical challenges of pregnancy with me, made me really angry and frustrated

Mood swings, annoyed at people touching me and taking up space in bed, and going by the other poster, being annoyed by the way someone breathes...maybe I’m pregnant too!? God help the people I come into contact with on a daily basis if I was carrying another human being around inside of me on top of my general easily-irritable self. You are, of course, not being unreasonable.

Well I'm glad it's not just me then. Sometimes I just look at him and think 'shut up'.

I feel pretty mean but seriously... Just shut up 😂 😤

We were lay down the other night (before I retreated to the other room) and he was just trying to cuddle me and I honestly just wanted to bat him off me, it just made my skin crawl.

And then I felt really upset afterwards that I felt that way about him. I hope this changes once this is over!

I luckily haven’t experienced this in my pregnancy but I think it’s very common! Your hormones are haywire, so you can’t really help how you feel. Hopefully the rage will be diminished once your arrival is here - best of luck with it!

It's just like a yoyo. One minute I'm really mad and the next I'm in tears over something really small (or even nothing at all sometimes).

I cried the other day because we nipped out and I missed the dog who was at home? I feel like a complete loon.

I'm 29 weeks and its wearing off a bit now. At the beginning I was so ill (still pretty bad now), but I couldnt even stand my children coming near me but dp is lucky to still be alive. He is a particularly irritating person in general though.

You are not alone, me suddenly hating my DH was more reliable than a pregnancy test multiple times when we were TTC for several years
