37 weeks with DC2 today and feel like I've hit a brick wall. DH is doing my head in by doing not very much of anything at all unless I nag him incessantly and even then he gets it wrong e.g.'rolls for lunch' was on the list of shopping he was asked to get this morning, he was too tired to go to the shop this morning so went afterwards and still bought rolls for lunch which will now not get used...I know this is a tiny thing but I'm so hormonal every time I see them I have the urge to stick them where the sun doesn't shine! He has done his usual thing of retreating behind a wall of silence and I am fighting the urge to scream blue murder at him for fear of scarring DC1 for life with the extent of my psycho-ness.

Please tell me a. I'm not the only one b. excessive moodiness is a sign of impending birth and this will soon be over and c. It's okay to eat my own (significant) body weight in chocolate??

Ok here's mine, baking in kitchen to try and stave off anxiety and boredom, clearly have something in oven. OH mom comes in and ask for me to cook her chicken in a pitiful voice (this annoys me every time hate that voice) say give me 5 mins ad I'm making fairy cakes as a friend coming tomorrow get a look as if I slapped her then walks off.
Earlier in week told her for 10th time in a week.that my mw coming round and I wish to speak in private so sit in kitchen. Half way through birth plan walks in for no reason other than to be nosey, so angry at het as she promised to go out so I could feel.comfortable. grrrrrrr. Then to top it off she's now complaining of pain and other things but refuses to see the doc but down my throat when I have BHs.

I totally snapped at someone at work inappropriately in front of the team at around 10 weeks pregnant when I was feeling really crap, and I am usually the cool calm professional manager. One of our admin team had a really challenging patient on the phone and I should have taken the call and supported him, but I just couldn't face it as I was having a bad day and was already dealing with a million problems, so I told him really rudely to tell the patient to call 999 if things were that bad he couldn't wait 5 minutes to speak to me. I was so ashamed of my unprofessional behaviour, I had to go out for fresh air to calm down, and ended up sobbing on the fire escape so badly I couldn't go back into the office. I had to call my manager from my mobile who came and found me and took one look at me and sent me home. I slept for 17 hours when I got home.

Oh god, I feel for those of you who have experienced The Rage at work! I'd be mortified!! DH would probably prefer it though...I've not been so bad today but I know it's still bubbling away waiting for the first opportunity to strike again!

Yes yes yes.

At work I'm either slamming the phone, groaning in frustration or fantasising about punching somebody...

And people in shops moving slowly and blocking aisles... GET OUT OF MY WAY...

And don't get me started on DP eating the last piece of cake!!!!

I'm glad I'm not the only one, I hope it will pass once DC2 is here!

Oh God, the slow people! If one more person stops in front of me in the middle of the pavement for no reason, I am going to start foaming at the mouth.

My pregnant sister who has a 9 month old was sat at the front of the bus with her buggy and an old drunk guy came up to her, pointed at the 'seats for elderly' sign and growled 'move' at her. I'm surprised he is still alive today because her anger even scares me lol

squizita · 04/06/2014 20:18

Having a "fat day" (ie feel an ugly frump due to bump + big pregnant face) and "friend" on FB decides to joke today about how I will be fat forever after giving birth.

Lucky for "friend" I cannot reach through the laptop and slap her smug face.

littlegreengloworm · 04/06/2014 20:21

I'm nearly 14 weeks and have a zero tolerance policy - no shit, don't take me for granted, get put of my face attitude.

The Rage is back with bells on. Tiff with 'D'H over what was being recorded with sky plus. He was being a twat. So I threw the remote at him. If he even thinks about nodding off during what he's now watching I will not be responsible for my actions

As this was bumped in another thread I thought I'd add to it.

I thought the anger was just me. Yesterday I ripped the head off anyone who came near me. It really escalated when a busy body was telling me what I needed to buy in a shop even though I knew exactly what I wanted and didn't want their outdated revolting view. I ended up slamming down the stuff I picked and told them to to just let me pay for what I fucking choose. Then I cried because I had been rude :(

mrsatkinson · 14/07/2015 20:35

this thread is brilliant!
i have had the rage on/off for a week or so now. 32 weeks pg and struggling to cope with huge twin baby bump and feeling fat and bloated.
dh is helping out, but not without prompting and not to my standard. this has been causing the rage to really kick off. yesterdays hormonal rage was that on a rare day off together he didnt want to come to town with me. cue guilt trip of leaving me to go alone! (he persuaded me i didnt need to go-in fairness i didnt!)
second rage was his cricket bag in the kitchen. dumped until i tell him to move it.id making tea id finally had enough, began kicking the shit out of it screaming 'im sick of this fucking cricket bag!'
he went to his mums for a small while after that!

Today at work I put the phone down on a customer. When my boss asked why, I explained "he was being a cunt" I think my colleagues are counting down the days until I go on leave too

BlueKarou · 15/07/2015 12:23

Oh I'm a ball of rage at the moment. Mostly at people who think, because it's my first pregnancy, that they have an unwritten invitation to tell me exactly what's going to happen over the next 7 months. I want to yell that every pregnancy is different and they had their own set of circumstances, and it might well be completely different for me than it was for them. (Both of them have had three babies, and each baby/birth was different for them so you'd really think they'd know to just allow me to have my own pregnancy rather than following whichever one of theirs they're thinking about at the time.)

Work is annoying me too, but at least no one here knows about the pregnancy (except the boss; am 9 weeks, so holding out a bit longer before I tell people) and it's a safe place to just be a person, and not be constantly asked if I'm ok, if I'm eating properly etc.

I have just arrived home from work to find that my WONDERFUL husband has already cooked his dinner and eaten it. Did he make any for me? No! So after a 9 hour shift, severe SPD, absolute debilitating exhaustion and a headache I have to cook a meal.
I think I'll just go to bed with a bowl of cereal!
