Hormones have kicked in not sure everyone will make it out unscathed!!!

[zoeymlucas]

It seemed the pregnancy hormones have well and truely kicked in today - before it was jusy hubby that I wanted to poke in the eye as felt being so exhausted and feeling rubbish with huge boobs that felt like they may explode any second teamed with needing to get up in the night at least twice to wee was clearly ALL his fault that everytime he tried to cuddle me or hold my hand I wanted to kung foo kick him in the bits.

Well right now my assitant is sat loudly munching and apple and 'chomping' with his mouth open and I actually want to send an email banning apples (and other noisy food) from the office - failing that remove the apple from his hand and throw it at his head!!!

PLEASE tell me its not just me being evil and other people feel like this - or at least tell me my hormones will settle and it WILL get better as am only 7+3 and if this continues I can see me doing someone some damage!! I must admit feeling sick all the time and being jealous of people eating might not be helping as I havent today work yet so havent eaten yet today to stop me thowing up!

sorry rant over x x x

haha, you're definitely not alone. I am 17 weeks now and can look back fondly on weeks of simmering resentment of everyone within a mile radius of me. You are not evil, it's just that most people are inherently annoying ;-)
And a combination of hormones, extreme tiredness and constantly feeling like weeing is not a recipe for a cheerful tolerant lady!

I promise you it does get better. I don't know if it's just because it's Friday but I am in a zen-like calm and contented state today - feeling better than before I got pregnant actually. If i didn't feel a bit queasy still I might be tempted to do a cartwheel or 2 around the office.

Get some breakfast! It will make you feel much better!

Oh the early days! My OH was glad there was an excuse for my dragon like ways when the test confirmed I wasn't in fact turning into a witch and I was pregnant!!

It does get better but I'm 30+5 and still want to drop kick people in the head on a regular basis the more pregnant looking and hormonal i get people start to realise when they were coming close to giving me a mental break down... I didn't think it was that obvious

it DEFINITELY gets better. I went through a pyschotic phase from about 7 - 11 weeks when I felt murderous rage or hysterically weepy at all times. It was dreadful and I felt like I had been posessed.

Now 13+6 and feeling MUCH more like myself again (which is nice). It will pass and trying not to committ GBH in the meantime

erm, well, I'm 29 weeks and still feel like this. Sorry! And apologiesd to any of my colleagues who may be reading. I will stop swearing so much at some point, I promise.

Thanks everyone am glad is not just me then - hubby swears its only me in the world that gets like this which annoys me even more! The worst thing is I know he is being nice and wants to cuddle and being around me and if he wasnt that would annoy me too but it still makes me want to hurt him, lol!
I have the weeping to and woke up at 2.00am this morning from a dream crying my eyes out and couldnt get back to sleep - so watched DH sleep and thought 'how dare you sleep when I cant' I even thought about pretending to sleep and elbowing him in the ribs I managed to stop my self just

Assistant has now pulled out another apple - can feel my jaw clentching and my typing getting louder and louder as I imagine every key is poking him in the eye better to imagine then actually do

God no, not just you! DP rolled over to cuddle me at around 1:30 this morning and woke me up. He moved back straight away, but I spent the next hour lying fuming at him as he was still FAR too close by several centimetres in our king sized bed AND I could hear him breathing. AND he had gone straight back to sleep - the bastard!

Poor, lovely DP. I don't know how he puts up with me

OMG didnt want to say it but listening to hubby breathing ESP when he is contently sleeping while I am laying there deciding if I need another wee is driving me insane - I mean I actually think he breathes loud just to wind me up, I dont care if he is asleep and its impossible I am convinced!

Omg I must be the only pg woman here who finds the sound of OHs snoring calming and he's really loud trust me :-) and I love lying beside him every night :-)

Oh god when OH is snoring I just want to kick the bastard! In fact when he does any thing at the minute I just want to kick him!!

Well i discovered some time ago that the secret to a happy marriage is a super kingsize bed and......earplugs - could live without them and make sure i have spares(earplugs) in my handbag too in case of unexpected nights at friends. DH and DS (who often ends up in our bed at 4am) both sound like Darth Vader when sleeping - both manage to fall asleep at the drop of a hat and i cannot BEAR to hear it so earplugs are the only way forward - i buy in bulk from amazon and harmony is restored!

With the hormones thing, i think its bad when you are first pg, then calms down and comes back with a vengeance at the end. I am 35 weeks pg and normally having to repeat everything (and i mean everything x3 to DS (4yrs) is just one of those things but at the moment, i have an extremely short fuse and is driving me INSANE!!!!!

DH doesnt actually make that much noise and has never snored thank godness the actual breathing is to much right now anything else would result in a dig in the ribs while I pretend to be a sleeping angel

I totally get that Wheresmycheesecake I think well I feel like total crap am exhausted and am in agony with boobs so maybe I should just kick you and make you hurt too - alls fair in love and war and all that!

Must try harder to be nice and cross fingers this settles down after the 12 weeks when the hormones start to level! Prob not helping am seeing consultant on 9th who is going to book me in for a cervical suture - so ALOT more pain ad lack of sleep coming my way! Poor DH if I was him I would run for cover and come back in 6-7 months he best run quietly (I wont go term previous 2 have been at 28 and 33 weeks)

So glad I'm not the only one - I went batshit crazy at my DS because he didn't want to watch Cool Runnings as part of my olympic themed day!

How bloody dare he? It's a classic!
