...but I had a major wobble today. Cried for an hour. Started because DD1 dropped a pint glass of juice and then was cheeky which turned into a row and DH shouting at me for being snappy. So I cried and he told me to get a grip so I cried more and I just felt like a big wobbly mess of 'not able to cope with feeling crap all the timeness'. I'm guessing its hormones etc is it? Or am I just losing it? Have any of you felt like this?

You're not the only one!

I majorly embarrassed myself by crying at work, thankfully it was during a one-to-one meeting so only one other person saw but we had a disagreement, I got angry, next minute I'm in floods of tears. Haven't been back since (for unrelated reasons).

I cry at adverts, TV shows, books, pretty much everything. This afternoon I had a bit of a wobbly lipped moment for no reason whatsoever other than I was feeling blessed for having a lovely DS and a DD on the way.

All hormonal and all normal :)

You are not losing it at all!
It's just hormones IMO. I have had similar teary moments- like when DS' blanket fell in a puddle- its fine I just bunged it in the washing machine. The time my mother changed her plans which meant she wouldn't be coming over- floods of tears!

I don't even think it matters how far along in pregnancy you are, I guess it's just a change in hormone balance. It's a pretty big deal being a mothership, growing a baby.
Go easy on yourself :)
Hope you feel better soon.

i feel your pain hun, i have always had really bad pmt and with this pregnancy (my 5th) i feel like i am on the edge all the time. I cry because i feel like the worst mother ever, i cry because my morning sickness is so bad i wanted an abortion, thankfully over that period now but still so sick. Never underestimate the power of hormones its awful, hope you feel better soon x x x

Yep am so with u on this one... I've turned into a "mumzilla" this pregnancy - teary moody u name it! Having a girl so blaming it on all the female hormones lol tho my hubby has assured me I've been so horrible (unlike my last pregnancy when i was really relaxed and chilled - he was a boy) NEVER again!

Also my BF is also pregnant (again a girl) and she has the same "mumzilla" symptoms as me...

Hope your "mumzilla" moment passes soon - its not nice but at least u know your not alone xxx

Ah same, but the difference is DH is lovely about it, takes DD away and makes me a cup of tea.

Your DP needs to pull his socks up to be honest.

I think DH didn't help today - he said he wished I wasn't PG because I have felt so crappy and he feels bad because he really really wanted us to have a LO and he feels now that he forced me into it. He hates seeing me suffer and feeling so down, he's worried I won't want the LO when it comes (which is nonsense but thats a blokes logic)

I was so upset by him saying that (mainly because it made me feel guilty because I'm now making him feel bad too, even though he is being stupid) that I just had to sob for a while

Obviously it's not true but was so hard to explain that to him today.

He always wanted us to have 1 or 2 LO's after marriage and I was happy to agree, and participated in the ttc quite happily Wink

I'm wobbling not because I don't want the LO - I am wobbling because I am feeling a failure, everyday of this PG has been a struggle with sickness and cramps and carpal tunnel and sleepness nights and extreme tiredness and swollen everything. I just want to be able to 'feel normal' again and to be able to work and do stuff round the house and not be tired and fed up and snappy and for the longer I don't feel normal - the more I'm getting upset about it because DH and DD keep reminding me they are doing everything at home, and I have 15 more weeks to go. I guess I expected the PG to be ok like my first - but I was 22 then maybe my body wasn't quite so 'tired' back then

Thanks for your understanding and letting me spill - I feel a bit better for it and better for knowing you too cry sometimes.

Oh and I know I have the greatest DH, he has taken care of everything for the past 20 weeks - he is just such a dumb bloke at times with a stupid logic

Loopy - he dosen't normally tell me to get a grip, he normally just gives me a hug, but my screaming about spilt juice was totally silly - and he always has the balls to tell me when I am being silly or out of order (I love that he is straight talking).
I guess after all the things he said today I need to realise he too is wobbling a bit, we have stresses at home - with a problem with the side of the house etc and he's trying to deal with the builders and insurance and everything so I don't worry. I think he is hiding his worries for my sake and they are probably building up. I think tonight I will make sure we snuggle up and re-assure each other.
