Hormone surge at 31-32 weeks?

[seabuckthorn]

Is anyone else feeling a bit all over the place?
I'm really emotional, similar to early pregnancy I guess but with added hideous heartburn.
I get misty eyed over the stupidest things; reading the web chat with Si and Dave because they are just such lovely men.
Trying to hold back the tears when my DP and DS leave in the morning.
I think having a stinking cold and those pre birth nerves kicking in have a part to play too.

I'm normally so rational what are these hormones doing to me?!

Think I had a bit of something like this, bit later on tho, about 35 weeks. I used to cry whenever DH went to work coz I was being left on my own and I was scared I'd go into labour and have the baby on my own (absolutely ridiculous as labour lasts hours, he's 2 hours away and my DM is 10 mins down the road to take me to hospital!)

Totally irrational. I got a bit better but now (39+3) I kinda don't want him to leave again (to the point that I worked out if he could start paternity leave now - which he can't)

I guess its part of feeling vulnerable.

I'm 30 weeks and absolutely getting this. Can't read newspapers because it makes me sob about the world. Keep finding insults in everything DH says. Have heartburn even after drinking water. Got labour fear and thinking of changing hospitals and wondering whether I should sell all our stuff at a car boot sale before DC3 arrives (extreme nesting). Swore I'd go to bed early tonight so I actually had energy to be a nice mum tomorrow. Damn.

Yup, I've had two tearful meltdowns at my DP in the last week (I'm 31 weeks) and feeling anxious and overwhelmed emotionally. Feel pretty vulnerable.

34 weeks and a sobbing wreck. Dd has a big wobble in her swimming lesson yesterday and I'm still crying over it - not dd she is full of the joys of spring but I am a wreck!

Started last week (35w) - also started feeling nauseous again, same as in the first trimester.
Am grumpy as fuck with DH, everything he does is annoying me, even when he's trying to be nice! It's not his fault, it's me being fecking fed up with hauling an extra 2st around on my belly, not sleeping well, in pelvic pain most of the time, fecking acid reflux, hormones - argh!!

AND I've just discovered that my nice consultant who I have paid for the privilege of having (in Australia) is on holiday for the next 2 fecking weeks, starting next Monday!! WTAF he was thinking, I don't know - I'm supposed to be seeing him weekly as of now, and will see him next Tues but he's not seeing anyone the following week, so my chances of having the actual baby in the next 2 weeks have just increased massively! Argh again!!!

I have been feeling a surge and more uncontrollable emotion.. I'm 31 weeks and had a huge go at bf on the weekend and then spoke to my Mum and was so triggered by her, felt super angry and emotional. Also feeling a bit low energy and mood atm.. I'm normally very upbeat and positive.
Heartburn is the worst also..
Glad I'm not the only one..xx

Progesterone and estrogen peak at about 32 weeks and bring lovely side effects such as mood swings and constipation.

I hope you all feel better soon. I’m 28 weeks so will be there soon.

I’m 31 weeks tomorrow and I’ve felt awful since Friday, really bad heart palpitations, full of anxiety, thinking about me dying and loved ones dying. My mind has went to pot and did wonder myself if something hormonal related happens at this stage

I went through that phase as well, from about 32 weeks to 36, anything could set me off, or nothing at all. Poor DH used to come home from work to find me all worked up and crying over nothing. I knew it was hormone related, and couldn't wait for it to pass.

Really thankful I found this post today currently 31 + 4 and spent all morning in fits of rage and currently sobbing my way through the afternoon… but a hormone spike would make sense 🤣😅
