me and my partner seem to be arguing all the time about silly things. he says its my hormones but me being me i just dissagree with it.i am starting to feel like i get annoyed or upset over anything and that being pregnant is doing the opposite from bringing us closer together ):
anyone felt or feels like this?
or does anyone know how to avoid the arguing a little?

I understand completely, me and dh had been like this
earlier in my pregnancy, seemed like we were arguing about daft things all the time! We eventually sat down and had a long talk about it (not during or just after a row!) and I explained I felt I had to give up all sorts bein pregnant an it hadn't affected him, and I accepted that a lot of the time it was just my hormones (never feels like it at the time but if I stop and think after, a lot of the time I know I've over-reacted) and we really sorted a lot of stuff out. It's really helped us, we have been gettin on loads better since. He puts my feelings first a lot more eg sometimes after a bad day I'd kill for a glass of wine, and I hated that he would just come in and open a beer, so he doesn't do that now, he only drinks when we are out. Good luck, I'm sure things will improve for you! Xxx

God I know what you mean. Yesterday I simply could not keep my temper with my poor husband. Even my daughter being cute was driving me up the wall (making crumble with a toddler... test of anyone's patience).

It's like ultra-serious PMS. Usually have one day of rage a month but this is like it on steroids! On the plus side I'm aware of exactly how grumpy I'm being so at least I can give him sympathy while grumping at him. Being offered a cup of decaf seems to work wonders for my mood, as does dinner. Maybe it's a low blood sugar thing?
