Anyone else pregnant and emotional with small kids today?

[littleraysofsunshine]

I hate feeling like this. Being very snappy at my kids. No patience at all and crying after every time I snap. House work is getting on top of me. Added Christmas pressure. Had a stressful weekend where I had to go to hospital to be checked over (34.5wks pregnant) so hormones are a load of shit lately. Do is working lots, so not really getting a rest.

Just a build up of no sleep and just hormones, almost Christmas and I hVe so much to do.

My kids are sensing it too. (Just 3 and 18mo)

Feel like sitting in a corner and crying. All I've done this morning is cry and then snap. And then cry more when I see poor dd1 face when she's not really done anything big wrong but I've made her feel like she has.

Or even something that she does need to be corrected on (like Riding a toy into dd2 on purpose) I'm usually calm but instead I've shouted immediately.

What a shit Wednesday

:-( yes :-( 11 wks pregnant with 12 month old to look after and DH is leaving early for work and then xmas-partying most nights this week so no help, also have cold /flu and just feel rubbish :-( am being a rubbish mum as snap at her and also not really interacting much as only have energy to sit on sofa /floor (and blow my nose constantly!) have had cold all week and had ms last week.... i should be making most of last few weeks with her before Jan when she starts nursery (FT :-( ) and I start new job and we somehow have to move house and buy a car by summer.... ahhh.... house a tip too and my dad is coming to stay next week (my mum died in may) ...
Sorry no help really, hope your Thurs has gone better, hugs and sympathy xx

Oh you poor things, both of you! Have huge, unmumsnetty hugs. It's no fun snapping and feeling hormonal and stressed. You both sound like you've so much on!

Pink, sorry to hear about your mum

littleray your DC's ages are a lot to cope with, don't beat yourself up for being snappy. You're heavily pregnant! Hope the check up was ok.

Big hugs for both of you.

everyone has their breaking point. I'm not pregnant but have 2 a bit younger than your DC and honestly, it's all I can do to hold it together some days so huge kudos to you! meditation is helping me to stay calm more often and try and ignore the mess/noise a bit and just enjoy them. they're still just babies really and it will all be over so fast. the one I use is headspace, search Google for 'get some head space' if you're interested and Maggie Howell's CD's are great for stress and birthing. I'm sure you're doing a great job, deep breaths super Mum!
