hideously grumpy

[LadyMaryCrawley]

Is anyone else feeling like this? I am only 6 weeks but I am SOOOOOO grumpy. I'm sitting in my office in a massive black cloud of hormones and grumpiness. I actually want to GROWL. It's like having PMT only about 10 times worse. Why aren't I floating along in a white dress, beaming at the world and daydreaming of baby things?

I can't bear being at work (actually wanting to smack customers for doing nothing more unreasonable than wanting to buy stuff) but equally don't want to go home for fear of inflicting self on DH, as seem to have turned into Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde type person, alternating between roaring about and stamping, and just wanting to go to sleep.

Hey! I am nearly 8 weeks pregnant and feel much the same - really tearful and irrational and struggling to be my professional self at work - it's so infuriating because I have everything to be happy about. This is my first pregnancy (yay!) - I've only been trying a few months so it was easypeasy compared to some people - everything's going right so far, and I've even had lots of good news this month about an exam I passed and a job for next year I've secured (which is extra important now I need maternity leave!) But yeah - I just want to lie in bed and mope. What gives? Daft hormones!

I'm told it will pass!

Im 31 weeks and Ive been an utter grump all the way through, and im getting worse not better

Aw! I'm sorry to hear that Hotpotpie.

Sometimes I write myself lists of things I enjoy and try to do them (though my previous unpregnant social life mostly revolved around wine and mental amounts of exercise, so it's been a bit tricky...)

Oh my god yes! I have been giving DD1 (aged 8) hell. I'm around 6 weeks I think.

Squidkid that was pretty much mine too lol, Im great when Im on my own, useless at work, with OH and poor SD

I keep thinking once I can get out and have a run each day again Ill be happy as larry

hello squid
It's horrid isn't it! Up and down and all over the place!
This is my first pregnancy too. Only DH (obv) and my boss knows so far, so I can't talk to anyone about it (I saw your other thread). I know I could tell people but I can't bear lots of fussing - and the mood I'm in atm it's just as well, don't want to fall out with people!

Well done on your exam and new job btw. Hope you feel better soon, and it's Saturday tomorrow so lying in bed and moping are the order of the day!

Thanks LadyMaryCrawley
I was supposed to be visiting mates tomorrow (not close mates) and I didn't really want to tell anyone I don't know this early, but I am so exhausted and nauseous and I HATE being a fussy eater (normally I eat anything, happily and gratefully) so I was sort of dreading it. But they've just cancelled on me so I'm quite relieved... not working this weekend (yay) so going to try to do some nice relaxing things just with the boyfriend .... swimming, reading, wandering, poking my nose in shops, ... and maybe some time in bed too.

mmmmmm

I love weekends off!

I'm about 9 weeks and am exactly the same. I have been snappy and grumpy, an utter nightmare to live with and poor dp is bearing the brunt of it.

Funny I was tearful (not grumpy) my first pregnancy for the first trimester so I'm hoping it's just hormones that will settle down in a few weeks.

I was so angry in the first 9-10 weeks that it actually was what alerted me to being pregnant, but once I got to the 2nd trimester it calmed down. HTH

...........and then it gets bad again when nearing the end! I am having trouble tolerating things - but at this stage on mat leave you can clear off by yourself & also people see that you are pg so cut you some slack.

Yes....38 weeks tomorrow and had a massive thromby while cleaning the kitchen this morning :( Last day in work tomorrow, so at least I can chill a bit...
