Bad mood...

[bluetea]

I guess this is pretty normal.......but i am 38+5 weeks and I am in such a bad mood. I cant seem to snap out of it. I am bored and fed up. I am grumpy and irritable with my partner. Someone please tell me this is normal.
Thank you.

no never heard of that before, shocking behaviour get a grip on yourself woman,

Perfectly normal, just your body's way of telling you to get lots of rest.

i am fed up of resting tho! Fed up of everything

You have a proper excuse. I'm only 23 weeks but still a right mare at the moment!

You and I are date buddies I think. I got 2hours sleep last night and woke up to DH's alarm with the stinking strops and then burst into floods of tears! After a couple more hours of sleep this morning, I feel more human. I'm hoping its hormones or body getting ready to evict little one. I feel your pain! All normal I think :-)

Another stroppy mare here, I'm afraid 37+3 - would love it, if it was just hormones gearing up for an eviction, but the thought that it might be any alternative to that makes me more Spent most of the morning in tears for NO reason at all. Went for a march, to try and get things going a bit which helped a wee bit but cried half way round the park too

I'm with you, 39+5 and mw wouldn't do a sweep this morning thought they would and then I can just get on with it. Had enough, so tired, no one has done anything particularly wrong but I'm just irritated by everyone and thing. Plus if this baby is 3/5 engaged why do I still have raging heartburn?!

Am not the best company, poor DD and DH!

Soooo glad that it isn't just me then! I have just bought 2 massive chocolate choux buns and a gin and tonic mixer. I have eaten the 2 buns but managed to resist the g and t......so far!
I am just so moody and bitchy, cant wait to get this baby out.

Definitely not just you - just the way my DP drinks a can of diet coke is getting on my tits right now (38+5 too). Spending all day on my own getting bored, desperate for company when he gets back, and then he irritates me straight away, even though he is being really lovely. The thought it could be 3 more weeks is too much to even bear. Probably for him as well! I had this idea when I was still at work that this would be some kind of magical time of lounging around, meeting friends friends for coffee and relaxation, but I had no idea that I would just feel like such a grumpy cow the whole time!

Ha, I just sobbed down the phone to poor old DH. DS is sat infront of Thomas the Tank Engine and I am halfway through clearing up train tracks, bricks, toy food, sesame seeds and dried paint using the wet wipes he thoughtfully removed from the case for me...

MsSampson, I can totally identify with you. I am bored out of my brain. I cant stand the thought that this could be another 3 weeks! I cant stop eating, just out of boredom. I cannot believe how i am feeling. I thought that having my baby at the end of this would keep me going, but now i realise that i will probably feel the same, just with a baby!

bluetea - I really hope this mood will shift after the birth - please god! At least we'll be busy rather than this weird kind of limbo. And it will be a whole different set of hormones too.
DP is getting back shortly so I need to try and cheer myself up and think of something to talk about that isn't just a list of things I want him to do (or things he hasn't done yet). Although I'm not sure he's going to be that interested by how I've watched Wimbledon for 4 hours...

well mine dp just came in and of course i had a go at him. He dared to ask me what i had been up to today.......

Sainsbury's are doing Haagen-Daz for £3 a tub rather than the usual extortion. I ate half a tub while waiting for the bath to run. Think I'll have the other half when I get out again..... DH at a meeting so waiting for him to come home

DH brought me a nice cake home, made dinner an put DD to bed. Cake gave me more heartburn and now DH is tapping on the iPad - very irritating, feeling quite violent towards iPad!

Clearly he is a dreadful person

Every night I go to bed with aches and twinges, wake up even more annoyed that it comes to nothing - all DHs fault of course.

Glad to hear its not just my DH who is being irritatingly compassionate!

I just cried over spinach that was too wet. 27+4 :(

Even spinach letting you down, it's the final straw

The worse bit is I never really cry so DP was all flappy!

DP has a tendency to stroke my arm and calls me "darling" lots when I get upset. Which makes me snarl "I'm not a cat" and then cry more because i know I'm being a bitch. He has spent a lot of this pregnancy looking quite bewildered.

Unfortunately it's completely normal.

I am currently really fucked off and no amount of tea, fudge cakes, reading a paper, having a nap or the promise of a bath, massage and Chinese tonight can snap me out of it.

Poor dh

Its totally normal and nature's way of making childbirth seem like a reasonable option!

I know I'm a bit unlike able ATM, as when my brother and his girlfriend came over earlier, the 1 st thing my dh said as he opened the front door was,

"careful. BoysBoys is chewing on bricks wanting to massacre everyone. Watch what you say or you'll live to regret it"

He calls me sweetheart, which usually i quite like, but not lately! He just doesn't know what to do or how to cope with me, i do really feel sorry for him, i am such a bitch, and I know it, well afterwards anyway!

I am the same today - 36 weeks pregnant and my 2 kids have been playing up big time!! Had a good nights sleep but well knackered! Still got a week of work as well! Wish I could go to a spa for a few days!!!!

tazmo I'm with you on the spa. In my fantasy world there are antenatal rest bite/spas you could check into for a couple of days once you get to say 30 weeks. Massive beds with loads of pillows, swimming pool, air con, selection of nice maternity clothes to waddle about in, massages and snacks on tap.

and back in the room..... :)

Yes and put my relaxation cd every night - am going to book a day for next week. Just hope I don't go into labour beforehand as non refundable!!!!
