Early pregnancy rant

[Hodds89]

Hey ladies... Im really early only 5-6 weeks! I am really struggling with mood swings... To the point of sitting in a corner of my bedroom either screaming or crying!!! I have given up smoking ( well had one today) and cut down on coffee! I really dont know how to calm myself down and i end up taking it out on DH or shouting at DS!! I never had this stress with first pregnancy! I am a full time working mum with a 2 year old so that probably isnt helping my stress levels... But i seriously need to find a way to chill!! Not like i can have a large glass of wine (wiskey) or a well needed cigerette?!? Dont get me wrong im over the moon im pregnant! Any one else struggling early on???

Hey, sorry those hormones are going mental for you! Mine went crazy in early pregnancy but it just turned my face into one massive volcano! Oh and I burst into tears in the middle of Next... At 22 weeks now and still got the remnants of the spots, although no new ones thank God! Well done for quitting smoking, it must be so hard! Do you have anyone who can help out with DS now and again to allow you some chill-out time (or just time to get the dishes done if you're like me)? The hormonomania seems to have calmed down for me, hopefully it'll get easier for you too, good luck and congratulations!

Hi hun.. I didnt have any of this with first preg!! The smoking issue is soo hard because i still dont feel pregnant (appart from the mood swings) so its just cold turkey!!! Is this ur first pregnancy?? Xx

Hi
Yes struggling too. 7 weeks tomorrow I believe with my first and I am one crazy lady. Mood swings from hell- driving DH insane. I can sob like the world is over, shout manically at inanimate objects, lose patience very quickly and laugh hysterically all within a half hour period.......
I am cold turkey on nicotine, alcohol and caffeine...... not sure how much of my moods are hormone related or withdrawals
I am officially a basket case

I'm cold turkey on the ciggis, however my boss came in today and said 'come smoke with me!' If I said no, he would know something is up, so took two drags and let the rest burn away. Feel so guilty, I was doing so well. As for mood swings, last weekend my partner bought the wrong pizza for my dinner, I got so mad he ended up sleeping on the sofa .

I am so with you on the maybe being withdrawals!!! Im letting myself have one mug of coffee a day, cant give that up too !!! "Itsnotyou" that is so funny! Im do glad im not alone!!!
