Irritable & hating everyone?!

[justhayley]

Hiya I'm 9+2 and literally EVERYTHING is irritating me. I'm ready to divorce the OH, get my toddler adopted & disown the rest of my family.
I know I'm hormonal but is anyone else irritable ALL the time?
Don't remember feeling like this with DS1 - 20 months.
Any idea when I'll feel normal again?

I was awful first trimester, it gradually calmed down but I still get wound up far easier than I do when not pregnant (I'm 30 weeks). Stupid hormones!

Yes totally! I thought, and hoped it would have passed as ive only been feeling like this for last couple weeks (im 29 wks). HOWEVER im not feeling any less irritable and its doing my head in! Ive presently got my 3 year old ds rolling around my knee throwing a paddy as i type and i could happily put him in the garden for the rest of the night.
My dp has been bugging me immensly as he works long hours and is never there to give me a break, and my poor 7 year old dd who is very well behaved has managed to wind me up! Even the extended family are bugging the shit out of me.
Tbh christmas is gettting right on my tits and ile be glad once its all over as im certainly not feeling the festive cheer this year. Ive had to forgo my trip to the xmas markets child free to get drunk on mulled wine, and also my drunken girls night out. Ive had to buy and wrap a million presents on my own as dp has been busier than ever. Ive reached a point where all i want to do is shut myself away with a strong drink and tell everyone to f**k off!
Of course neither is an option so ile grit my teeth and wait till this irritation hopfully passes.

Yes! 30wks here too & want to hibernate but can't - expected to dutifully visit (toxic) parents & then in laws on Boxing Day. Not sure if it's general cba or if I'm really just fucked off & exhausted? Not really getting Xmas spirit this yr. I want to be under my duvet electric blanket on for days!!!!

I'm due on Saturday and I have turned into a monster... I know how lucky I am to be able to have a family but I'm still angry for no real reason!! As for Christmas?! It's just another long uncomfortable day and long sleepless night!!! Arrrrgghhh!!

I've put DCs to bed, long day of running around, dealing with DH off work, tetchy children...duvet & lights off. Can't wait till the enforced Xmas cheer' has left this land. I sound awfully bah humbug, (DH has been telling me this all day)

I'm just 6 weeks and exactly the same. I also don't remember feeling like this last time. Selective memory? Or a grumpy baby? Dh has decided it's a girl 'and she's on ger period'

Lol so glad it's not just me.

I love Christmas usually, but this year I simple can not be bothered. I think I stumbled across one of my Christmas presents from DP - a load of let's just say "sexy" things. It's pissed me off royally. Iv been about 2 seconds from vomiting for the last month & we've hardly had sex. I think he's actually taking the piss with this and I'm not sure my reaction when I open it and he expects me to think a load of Ann summers crap is going to excite me.
I'm also pissed off because I think iv guessed my proper present which is equally crap. I don't usually care about presents and I know I sound like a spoilt bitch, I just think he's seriously lacking sensitivity and effort right now. To make it worse were are hosting Christmas this year.

Phew feel better now that's all out lol.

27 weeks and everything annoys me. Spending christmas with DPs family, his sister will be there and is also pregnant. His delightful mother has nicknamed my bump asbo and calls her daughters bump tootles. I don't think the bump is going to be the one guilty of antisocial behavior somehow. Want to cancel christmas and have 'pimms o'clock' instead...

Thank God there are more angry people out there! I am 30 weeks and I feel angry and irritable all the time. I hate people at my work and generally anyone around me! DP says i am very hormonal and angry, imagine if I didn't try to keep it under control! I don't want to be the angry pregnant woman but I am and I cant stop it...it feels so natural!

I nearly smothered DH earlier. He was eating crisps noisily with his mouth open. I had just sat down to watch something that wasn't Peppa Fucking Pig for the first time all day, and I could barely hear the telly.

I managed to communicate my irritation with nothing more than a sigh and delicately flared nostrils. I deserve a bloody medal.

Am 39 weeks.

Yes. I'm 22 weeks. I hate everyone and everything except my family and OH and his family and I just want to hide away with them and not go anywhere and not do anything and for it to just be Christmas forever. And no I don't know what I'm having and I don't fucking want to know and I don't care if aww, you want to know so badly, if you want to know so badly have your own bloody baby and find out what it is.

I can't say this in real life, it feels so good to say it here.

nice to see you - 30 weeks! Yay!

Anyway. Yes to all of this, have been from the start. My main pregnancy symptom has been rage/hormones, in fact. I am usually: angry, crying, content, angry, crying, content... lather, rinse, repeat.

And that's all before breakfast.

I'm 38 weeks, and it's a good thing I am on mat leave and don't have to travel daily. There would be deaths.

Given that there are so many of us going through the irritable/hormonal crap, is it for a reason? I mean it must be purely to get us to hibernate like a pregnant mammal. They don't need to explain themselves every hour as to why they don't want to see 54 extended family members on 27th December. Or the toxic mind game playing parents on Boxing Day. No, the pregnant mammal just fixes up her nest, hunkers down & has a bloody good sleep until the baby comes!!! And then no pressure to let extended family members stay overnight to visit the newborn!! ( yes that has started already here) .....

Cried watching jane eyre last night too

amazingness I must be doing the pregnant mammal thing...cancelled christmas and dh and I are just slobbing at home. My family literally would not take no for an answer 'really, miss christmas?!!' And they are already clucking about not being able to see the baby for the first week.

Feck off the lot of yer. I'm approaching 38 weeks and I don't care about anyone else!

Quiet Xmas here too quackojuliet, slobbish, DH doing lots of cooking, I haven't left sofa much! Happy Xmas!

I'm seriously feeling the rage too. At PILs. They are lovely people and we usually get on very well, but this year, ARGH. They have a dodgy boiler so there is NO HOT WATER for showers. I had to boil a kettle for a wash in the sink this morning :(. DH is pissed off at this too and I think we in turn are getting on PILs nerves too.

And just generally being in someone else's house is just doing my head in. I want to go home! But we can't as it is MILs b day on 30th so we have to stay until then - after today it's another FOUR days. Thank god we're seeing friends tomorrow and day after, so we can get out of the house. The good thing is that DS I having a lovely time and really enjoying playing with his cousins. So at least one of us is having a good time.

Actually just came on this forum to see if anyone had posted a thread like this. I am so fed up I could quite happily pack a bag and leave. Constantly on the verge of throwing up or passing out, can feel SPD starting, bloody exhausted. Dropped DC off with their dad at 4 today and cried all the way home because I want to go to bed for a week but instead I've got work and then going to PIL with my DC all weekend.
It's so bad I considered going to the doctor about antenatal depression but I don't think I'm depressed - I also just need to hibernate!

Arrrrrrrrr I need to scream, mum just called and asked me to check what time a film she's watching finishes as she can't seem to get the guide up on her tv, so I quickly check ours (5second job) and OH has a go at me whilst I'm still on the phone because it's interrupted him watching embarrassing bodies Where there were 4 dodgy looking willies on the screen! He was really snappy and iv ended up in tears and have come up to bed. Didn't know he was so interested in willies!

Oh dear justhayley I hope you feel a bit better today.

I had a bit of an incident earlier - I had just sat down after a busy day and my cat jumped up on my lap. I wanted a bit of peace so I pushed her off (not in a nasty way, just in a 'not right now' way) but she dug her claws into my bump I'm quite tolerant of that normally but bump is soo tender that I couldn't bear it so I grabbed her really roughly and just flung her off my lap and shouted at her

I felt (and still feel) so guilty I immediately burst into floods of tears and was properly sobbing - DH was completely taken aback and I don't think he had any idea what to do with this gibbering pregnant loony! He put the cat out and gave me a tissue and a cuddle.

Poor cat is completely non-plussed. She gave me a filthy look and disappeared for 5-10 minutes but has spent the rest of the evening sleeping on my knee so I think she's forgiven me.

Get a move on baby, I can't take much more of this...

I'm 26 weeks and my recent extreme grumpiness has just given way to random crying and neediness. Poor DP!

It's horrible isn't it - like constant PMT, in the sense that you can't control it.

I cannot wait to have this baby and feel vaguely normal again!
