Hormones are sending me insane!

[Babyleopard23]

I'm 31 weeks with our first DC and I swear I'm actually going crazy!
I've never been so irrational, emotional and unreasonable and I genuinely feel bad for DH who has to deal with me (it's a good job he is patient and so understanding )

Tonight I am just so emotional. I am used to DH being away a lot (military) and we are currently posted abroad a long way from the UK. He has just been deployed and left tonight and all I want to do is sit and cry just because I want him back and feel like I need him so much right now.

Sorry if this sounds pathetic, I certainly feel it right now! I'm not used to feeling like this and Im just struggling to stay strong.

I just wanted to say, you are not alone! I'm 33 weeks with our first DC also and my hormones are beyond.

Although my DP isn't away a lot he works long days so I hardly see him. I spend several evenings just crying because I wanted him to come home and throwing little toddler tantrums because I'm so emotional.

These emotional outbursts are sometimes just stupid, I wonder why my DP stays sometimes, I think we've broken up about 5 times during this pregnancy because of my irrational emotions. But we are able to look back at it and laugh, the most laughable was me storming out of the house because DP wouldn't change his trousers so I could wash them right there and then!

Hormones are hard to deal with but remember you aren't on your own!

Thanks panda!

You both sound like me and my DH so much! I can't blame him for losing his patience with me a few times but we too just laugh about it.

I feel like a spoilt child not getting my own way all the time! I feel better now I know I'm not the only irrational pregnant lady

Just cry. You don't sound pathetic at all, at least you have a valid reason for feeling upset.

I killed a slug yesterday and started bawling - that was pathetic.
