3rd Trimester making me feral

[PerpetualStudent]

Is this just me? I'm 36 weeks with DC2 and feel like a wild animal defending it's run. Anyone (barr DP and DS) who gets in my space or touches me gives me the rage.

I'm 10 days into a 2 week visit to the in-laws, they are lovely, but not being on my home turf has started to put me very much on edge - I feel like I have the dark side of the nesting instinct!!

DP is loosing patience with me, as thinks I should just be able to see the constrant hugs from extended in-law family members and 'How are you doing? You look TIRED's as coming from a good place. I know they are, but they are also doing my nut...

I'm 18 weeks and feel like that sometimes lol! i have literally no patience for anyone. The other day I flipped the bird at a random car just for driving a bit fast down a road. WTF?

A 2 week visit to in-laws at 36 weeks is seriously hard. I am expecting to be positively vile at 36 weeks! Can you hide anywhere?

I'm like this too. It started much earlier in my pregnancy though, about 10 years before conception.

I've hid in our room all day!

Haha Oysterbabe I think that might be me too!

Oh no wonder, you're 36 weeks preggers and the constant touching and asking is infuriating!! I had to stop myself punching well meaning colleagues who touched my bump and constantly asked questions. So glad that I'm not in work anymore as not sure how long I could have held it in for.

Why on earth did you opt to stay with the in laws for 2 weeks at this point tho? You need your own bed, own house, own space right now. Hope you manage to somehow get through it!!

Do you have a car? Can you make an excuse to go to the shop alone, and take a VERY long time, perhaps stopping for a McD's or ice cream on your way?

This is my 3rd and I have been a monster, I've resorted to just keeping myself to myself from friends and family.

I'm so glad I am nearly at the finish line, can't wait to feel myself again.

To be honest 2 weeks with my (lovely) inlaws would make me feel like that not pregnant. At 36 weeks you are a saint

Train home today - hooray! In-laws are literally in the middle of no where so no sneaking off anywhere unless I fancied eating berries and mushrooms in the forest!

Because they are so remote we always stay for at least 2 weeks and TBH even when not pregnant I get a bit angsty around 2/3rds of the way through and it takes someone from the outside to go 'jesus, 2 weeks with the in-laws!?' to remind me I'm not being hideously unreasonable!

Can't wait to get home and retreat into a little nesting bubble until the birth!!
