22/3 weeks pg and mood swings back with a vengeance!!!

[OnZephyrstDayofXmas]

I thought that they were just for the first 12 weeks or so?! Over the last few days I've been losing it over anything and everything - poor kids and dp daren't breathe!!! Does everyone get it?

Any calming tips?! or should that be !!!

No tips, but sympathy - I'm 22 weeks, bursting into tears, losing my temper, and then feeling euphorically happy ten minutes later. My poor dh has just learnt to talk in low, calming tones.

Sympathy from here too. I feel so aggressive and I've just shouted at dh for being late home (a whole thread to itself!). Now I'm in floods of tears feeling guilty for being so horrible.

My latest outburst was when dh lost the card of a place that sold handmade cots that I had my heart set on. I would not listen to any suggestions that we could track the shop down in any other way.

It's so good to know it's not just me!! One minute I'm perfectly happy - next minute a complete psycho!!!

As I type, I'm having a panic about baby dying in womb. No reason to think it should, but there's no reason it shouldn't is there?? God I wish someone could rationlise everything for me - I'm tired of going through every conceivable emotion each day...

I've had a lot of that feeling this time as well Don't know why - no real reason to - just irrational hormones playing up I think! Absolutely terrified about cs as well - even though it's the 3rd one......and last!!

Shall we have a emoticon to complete the set? I feel that when I see people with healthy babies - thinking - I wish I was at that stage, holding a healthy baby in my arms, instead of worrying if it is going okay. But I think there will be another set of fears by then anyway.

Exactly - you get past one stage and you're stright into the next set of worries. I just wish the emotions would calm themselves down a little - might make it all a bit easier to deal with. All this jeckll and hyde mood swinging is exhausting!!
