Preggo Rage.

[ladymalfoy]

Husband eating too load for my liking. He's keeping his mouth closed but eating very quickly and just making way too much noise. I really want to scream and yell at him to stfu but I know its hormones. And he's talking too loud. I'm so close to meltdown.

Just bumping as its been a while and I am sure some posters might appreciate the content of this thread!

I came very close to throwing hot coffee all over a customer last week. The operative word being 'hot'. He told me just after I'd made his drink that he'd requested it "three degrees hotter". After initially thinking he was joking and smirking a bit I realised he was being serious, by which point he was dipping his spoon into his drink saying he'd just "give it a try to see if it's hot enough." Stupidly got a whole spoonful of cream too, then declared it no way near hot enough: "I can't drink cold coffee"

I gritted my teeth at him and told him I'd be back in a moment to make him another one then stomped into the kitchen and threw the coffee at the sink!

I can't deal with completely fucking stupid customers while preggo.

It's times like these that I wish I was visibly pregnant. Then people would know not to fuck with me.

I am 33 weeks pregnant with number 2 and my partner has just given his notice in at work. He's got another job that doesn't pay anything more than the current job ( over the cost of travel) but is an hour further from home. Conveniently for him the new job is basically his hobby. He will probably start in a month. Last time I had a baby I went into hospital at 34 weeks till DD was born by section at 38 weeks due to PE.
I. Want. To. Actually. Attack. Him.
Unreasonable??

DH was biting his nails LOUDLY - rage

A friend of mine (at 9 months preg) had her bump grabbed by a stranger in the street, who asked if she had long left. Friend gave stranger's boob a quick tweak, smiled and said hope not. Stranger's shocked face hopefully meant a lesson learned about not to grope people without asking :) Feel free to use this technique as needed ladies! Xx

@ KatharineClover I was planning on bottom-patting should this occur

I LOVE the boob tweaking! Genius!

I'm 12 weeks preggo and keep getting into rages about things. Having to remind myself to take deep breaths! I have been dealing with lying estate agents which is enough to put me in a rage at the best of times!

can I bump this thread? I have the rage today. Can't expand as I will no doubt out myself. Just want to call on all the other preggos with rage today and ask what is making them feel unreasonably angry. Sorry for the not-very-first-day-of-spring-like mood! I need company in my pit of rage!

Things that make me rage today:

Patronising midwives (it's my third, now fuck off with the smiley advice)
Nosey random strangers (no, not long, what the fuck business is it of yours?)
Annoying work contacts (yes, not long, no, I'm not scared - what the fuck sort of person asks you if you're 'scared' - of what?!! Pointless questions??)
In laws: Yes, I'm sure you're panting to see the baby when it's born, but that still doesn't mean I can use my psychic powers to tell you which day you can come. Fuck sake. Sorry that this inconveniences you.

glad I'm not alone, tea. People expect you to be all delighted every single day of your pregnancy, don't they? not only is it unrealistic, it's not even like you're allowed to be annoyed at the same things normal non-preggo people are annoyed at! I mean I was never the calmest person, but people are already treating me like I'm some kind of pregzilla.

Pretty much everything, tbh.

I hate everyone. Apart from my children, who I can tolerate. I hate the man who specifically sat in the only seat in the tube carriage I could sit in, next to my toddler in his pushchair, and then refused to move to the NEXT DOOR SEAT when I asked him to, because his bag wouldn't fit under it. I hate the person who said I wasn't showing yet. I hate the person who on the same day said that I'd popped out quickly. I hate the man who took too long to give me my lunch today.

I'm not a tolerant or easygoing person normally, but pregrage is a real problem for me. As is lactorage actually. My poor husband is in for a good year of hell. AND HE DESERVES IT.

that's so SHIT, mummytomog, I would have properly shamed that man on the tube. People are arseholes.

Flymo- I can relate to that. People saying 'Oh you're so funny when you're pregnant! You're so angry!'- er, NO, I was always opinionated and I always got pissed off at things. For some reason people need you to have a whole other identity when you're pregnant it does my head in. Not everything is caused by hormones- sometimes my annoyance is caused by other people lol!

yup, and sometimes people need to engage their brains before their gobs...! I'm generally quite a private person and would just rather be in a box on my own at the moment... maybe I'd let DP in, but only if he didn't snore, or he'd get the rage from Preggo HULK!!

I got in an hilariously ironic rage cycle yesterday.

"Don't get angry, it could hurt baaayybbeee"

...one of my pet peeves is Daily Mail scaremongering and I'm very touchy about pregnancy loss for personal reasons, and hate the 'girls must be naice' social stuff...

So their comment actually made me RRRAAAAARRRGGGGHHH!!! X200

This thread made be laugh when nothing else in the world could a few months ago! Well bumped.

My rage today caused by stupid stupid pharmacist:

Me: Do you have any ibuprofen/codeine pills?
Her: No no no no!
Me: Oh, you used to stock them.
Her: You can't take those!

Argh!!! I was buying them for my husband, which is why I asked whether she had any, not whether I could take them myself. All she had to say was "Yes we do, but can I just check that they're not for you, as you can't take ibuprofen when pregnant?" Surely not that difficult to treat a pregnant woman like a rational, mature adult, is it?!?!?

Grrrrr.

ugh why do people do crazy shit?! me being pregnant is sending my family nuts... my cousin, who I hardly ever see bounded up to me screeching "let me see your bump!!" so I moved my coat out of the way... "no I want to see your belly in the flesh".. i lifted my top up and she literally yanked my leggings down to get a good eyeful... i didn't realise I'm a fucking freak show!! my mum kept doing this at family meal too (cringe) so I turned round and said only if you whack yours out first. she wasn't impressed. oh and then said cousin and mother go onto warning me all about the dangers of home birth... The head might get stuck- what you gonna do then eh??? and what if it's a big baby eh EH? ?? HONESTLY JUST FUCK OFF. We aren't finding out the sex... but my family are buying baby girl clothes "just in case"... No pressure there then. oh yes the weight issue!! my supervisor at work didn't think twice about telling me "I've piled weight on" :/ I've actually lost weight due to HG. she stands there dirty looking my bump, it's actually quite weird. phewwwww!! what a good thread!!!

So glad this is back:

I hate every fucker on the bus for not standing up for me despite my huge and obvious girth - especially the young mobile ones who should SIT THE FUCK UPSTAIRS and the selfish TWATS who sit their bags on the seat - yes I will ask you to move it, glad that your bag is more important to you than a person in need of a seat.

I am also irrationally angry with my SIL for borrowing my car seat and travel system and returning them a) not folded down properly (and made a huge fuss about how HARD it was to use and how she had to google it - IT'S SO EASY, gammy hands!) and b) not adjusted back for newborns - thanks, this is my first time and I've had to reconfigure the whole strap thing because your giant, old, baby couldn't fit into it. BRING YOUR OWN TRAVEL SOLUTION on the train next time!!

:o) xx

Brodicea - I don't think that's irrational at all! I would actually growl at anyone who asked to borrow my baby's car seat or pram. I think you're a saint for lending them in the first place - nobody gets to put their grubby paws on my baby's things

I hate my mother today - she is fucking taking over everything and I seem to have no power to stop her. She hasnt listened to a word i've said about stuff - and decided she knows best. currently having a little breakdown as we have to atay at her house once bump arrives cos of building works not gonna be completed on time at ours. not sure i can cope.... My grandmother is also doing my nut in oh and spd has stopped me driving now.... Not driven for 5 days and hate it. Currently stranded at my parents house and crying uncontrollably in my room. Dp phoned before, heard me upset and has buggered off home saying he'll see me later...... Not a good day

Oh and if I hear about how it is international happy day once more I am really gonna lose it!!!! Happy??????

I've missed this thread. When I have the energy I will tell you all about the total fucking fuckbrain bastard of a traffic warden I had a run in with yesterday.
Actually I'll just tell you now. I have spd and am on crutches. I have to bring my car to work (normally dh drops me off) so I can drive home for an hour in the middle of the day to rest with feet up as there is no where in my place or work to do this and my ankles are swollen to old lady cankle proportions.

I know you're only supposed to park outside for 30 minutes. But EVERYONE parks out there all day. It's a quiet street, there are never any traffic wardens. Ever. I used to park in a car park before spd but as I can't walk now, I needed to park outside the office.

Lo and behold, on this day I got a ticket. I was on my way to my car when the warden was there. Hobbling on crutches, clearly heavily pregnant and the total WANKBADGER carried on taking pics of my car and when I said "excuse me" he looked at me and crossed the road without replying! What a rude fucking fuck!! Who acts like that? Where was his compassion?! I hope his face falls off. I've never wanted to ram a crutch down someone's throat and up someone's arse at the same time before! The cunt.

And yes I know I broke the rules so I got a ticket. But it would serve you well not to fucking remind me of that!

Omg what is it with people, my hubby is always moaning at me whenever i eat, i have no tonsels so swallow loudly even though my mouth is shut, and my jaw cliks wich i cant help. He cant help it, -.- u do know it makes you feel very uncomfortable whe. Someone says things about the way you eat.....deal with it ^.-
