Tell me your crazy, stressed pregnant woman stories to make me feel better!!

[Smicha]

My weekend has been pants. In 15 years of driving I've never had a car accident, but on Friday I reversed into a moving car in Tesco car park in DH's relatively new car which he was lovely about and more worried that I might have hurt myself. On Friday night I shouted at DH and his friend that he hadn't seen for months to shut up because I'd gone to sleep and they were having a beer in the garden (and not really being loud at all). On Saturday I was surprisingly calm... However, yesterday I cried and stropped around the kitchen for an hour because we had no prawns in the freezer and the only thing I had planned to make for dinner was prawn stir fry. Today I shouted at my Mum because she suggested that we travel to see her early on Friday as we're heading there for the weekend, but she didn't take into account that DH had to attend an early morning meeting (she didn't even know about it!!!!). These are just the bits that stand out to me... I suspect there are many more things I'm doing that are driving my loved ones mad

HELP. I'm 33+5. Tell me this gets better...!!! I'm a nutter! I'm spending my time saying sorry once I realise how irrational I'm being. I'm usually quite calm and nice to my family. They're going to hate me!!!

Please share your stories to make me (and I hope others) feel better!

I lost it on Saturday night over some custard. I had a craving for some sticky toffee pudding with really nice thick custard, but then completely mucked up making the custard so it came out really thin and rubbish (I had used the wrong measuring spoon so not enough custard powder. I used to be able to make complicated things like beef wellington, but those days appear to be long gone). Cue tears and pans being banged about stroppily, and eventually the entire pint of custard being thrown down the sink. DH took over while I sat crying inconsolably on the sofa. He also failed to make decent custard - but by then I was so grateful he wasn't divorcing me on the spot that I ate it anyway. I am buying tinned custard from now on. Pregant ladies - know your limits! ;-)

Oooh...sticky toffee pudding!!!!

This thread made me laugh so much with relief that it's not just me... unfortunately then it tipped over into tears and I had a bit of a sob.

Thank goodness there's no-one else in the office.

blonder am doing that laughing morphing into crying thing quite a lot too.

After reading this thread and thinking back on the last 25 weeks I decided it was high time I tried to be nicer to DH. He's looking really scared. I told him I loved him while he was brushing his teeth, he could obviously only nod as had a mouth full of foam. I cried. Dear God.

Love this thread. I have just turned into a grump. Sadly my 2 school aged children have been baring the brunt. The younger one got it because he ate my caramel bites. (a whole bag)

My unborn child is currently grounded for life for the sickness I've had this pregnancy. Harsh? Not at all just insane

I got very upset whilst looking at my cat realising that she would never get to wear a dress.
It doesn't even make sense but at the time it was a big deal. Thank goodness I didn't actually try and dress her up...

[Sastra]

slarti that is brilliant!

I sobbed on mothers day because DH put our dinners in pasta bowls rather than on proper plates. Poor bloke...... I declared the whole meal was ruined.

Thank you OP! Good to know I'm not alone, and reading this thread has made me laugh and then cry .... But I am occasionally horrible to my lovely DP who is normally very sweet.
I had a big go at him a few weeks ago for eating my biscuits - to be fair I live in Germany and had treated myself to some custard creams and plain chocolate digestives- made him so annoyed he went out and bought his own biscuits and kept them out of my reach I'm happy down here with my digestives thanks.

At 8 wks and going through the nauseous stage I felt awful and really needed some lunch. Purchased cheddar and bacon panini from work canteen (normally avoid like the plague) and when got back to the office realised it was mislabelled and was brie and bacon. Really hate brie. Sobbed uncontrollably and ate the bits of bread round the brie. Was in no fit state to return to the canteen and prob would have raged at them anyway. Thank goodness I don't share an office....

What a great feed, always nice to hear I am not the only pregnant nutter out there! I can't tell you why I get emotional, last weekend I didn't talk to my DH all weekend, I was sooo angry with him but honestly, I can't tell you why... I have no idea!

[zoeymlucas]

Loving this feed and thank god its making me full not so crazy after all, actually sat laughing out loud in the office :)
My poor DH thinks I am nuts and DS (9) even wondered it him and DH should go on a fishing trip for a few weeks to let my hormones settle am only 11 weeks today!
I cried for an hour on Saturday in bed under the covers like a child because DH forgot to kiss me when he got up - cue screams of he doesnt love me now I am pregnant, am I not good enough anymore etc etc he looked truely scared! I do shout at him in the night too for breathing annoyinly on purpose, even though he is fast asleep and thats impossible it makes perfect sense at the time, lol
Last week I didnt talk to him all day because I had woke him up with a nightmare of zombie clowns eating my feet and he said he wasnt real and to go back to sleep - I laid there and fumed for 2 hours debating if too pretend i was a sleeping angel and elbow him in the head bloody hard

[AGiraffeOnTheDivingBoard]

I dreamt about Zombies the other night!

This thread has made me actually laugh out loud I don't think I've done anything crazy, but I do pull the "I'm pregnant!" card when DP asks for a coffee! And I did find myself glaring at him the other night as he was helping himself to MY beatroot, yes it was on the dinner table but he sound know better lol

If I have a dream about my cats wearing dresses tonight I'm blaming you slarti!

I was cooking pasta and all my DH did was ask if I'd shut in the chickens for the night. A completely reasonable question, given it's usually my job and if I haven't had a chance to do it, he'll do it for me.

Cue irrational rant about how unappreciated I was, how I couldn't be expected to "do everything" and who did he bloody think he was?! He then got the pasta (which had just been drained) all over his head and me in floods of tears.

All he did was ask a reasonable question!

[ivanapoo]

I cried because DH told me how the vending machine at work had got stuck when he tried to buy some crisps.

I just got irrationally angry with the NCT website and swore at it at length although I think it's justified

[jennib1988]

seriously dont worry about it i threw dining chairs when i was pregnant one minute i was crying next happy then irritable we all go through it

[terrywoganstrousers]

Yesterday's disasters involved me turning up for my midwife appointment a day early but worse still, booking a flight for DP on the WRONG DAY! Cue him having to call the airline grovelling while I blubbed loudly next to him...
