Mood swings. Please tell me it's not just me?

They can be so awful.

Take this morning, dp joked that the pot of tea I made was warm (like I joked with him last week) I got funny and just tipped the while pot out in the sink, and I've not spoken to him since.

And when we do I end up saying a load of meaningless crisp which I don't ever mean.

How he puts up with me I will never know

Feel like a complete worthless person right now . Often occurrence in pregnancy. 90% I'm great then the small part I feel like a hormonal wreck. Snapping and saying horrible things.

Shit Saturday.com

Oh and then I'm too stubborn to apologise. Had a lovely morning planned now it's just being spent me upstairs crying into my cup of tea while he's downstairs with out two children. Then he's off out for the afternoon. so fabulous

It is hormones - I'm just the same - so safe in the knowledge you aren't a right so and so I say dry your eyes, go down stairs apologise stating it's the hormones and get on with your day. Being stubborn isn't your hormones though, that's a choice.

You don't have to let it ruin your day.

True.

I just hate the reoccurrence. It's the smallest of things that set me off. But it also doesn't help feeling like the household chores are hanging over my head. He's downstairs doing them. But I do it all through the week and somehow Saturday morning it's like 100 minions have corrupted my house! Waking up to that doesn't help when all we wanted to do was have family time grrrrr

Thank you though. Will pull myself together and try to not feel like a complete failure!

You are NOT a failure. You are at the mercy of hormones, exhaustion, worry and a sense of feeling overwhelmed. Cut yourself some slack and accept once LO arrives things will settle down and you can return to normal. Until then don't worry and aim to just be as relaxed and as happy as you can be.

At times I could really hurt my DP and he is the loveliest man ever but if he says the wrong thing (or I think he says the wrong thing) and I could attack him with a blunt instrument! Other times I say such horrible things then hate myself for it but I make sure I always make a genuine apology and aim not to dwell on it but ensuring we both have a nice time doing whatever it is we are doing.

(If I add I was ready to leave him a few weeks ago because of his lime marmalade you get the picture!)

More snapping. I think I just need to be locked in a cave

Looks like it in for the day! I've annoyed him so were now not talking. Great. Hormones piss me off!

Well if it's any consolation earlier on we were stood in a book shop and he had his nose in a book when I yelped out twice in pain as I got two really violent twinges in my back (old back injury playing up now I'm pg). He didn't respond although apparently he did hear!

I was in bloody agony! Ended up calling him the C word and telling him to F off! He had heard me but was so engrossed in what he was reading!

We're not speaking now either although I'm blaming him for being a tosser and not my hormones.

Try to enjoy your day and do something for you which doesn't involve being near too many other people.

Ended up having a lovely day. I messaged dp once I'd left the house for a children's party. (As we hadn't said bye to each other)

And I apologised and just said I find it hard sometimes dealing with the emotions. Even though it's a third pregnancy. And to just bare with me as any if it what I say I don't mean.

All good now, I just hope my sodding hormones don't keep being so vicious.
