18 week hormones keep feeling like Im on the edge of tears

[Baby2018]

I didn't feel emotional in trimester one but lately I keep feeling like Im on the edge of tears, does it normally kick in during trimester 2? My other half has been away all weekend, just got back and he's on his laptop working so we've barely spoken = I feel like Im either about to cry or shout at him... normally I can handle my emotions really well and I very very rarely cry. Is this a trimester two thing?

Oh yeah gosh have cried more than ever in my life!! Used to be a balanced person but no more!! I'm 26 weeks now and id say the crazy hormone swings started with the 2nd trimester. I actually cried because the self check machine at the drs was out of order, have also cried because dh got stuck in traffic, because I wanted an ice cream and we had run out (my own fault!) Etc etc. My husband had never seen me cry for 9 years... Until I became pregnant, now it's pretty much daily!! Ps, the rage is equal as bad but I manage to to act normal at work

Thanks @Aw12345 some of those are hilarious! bless you crying about the ice cream!

I just thought the crazy hormones would have come in tri 1 if they were going to happen!

I definitely feel like Im more emotional this trimester for sure. When I talk to DH about it his response is " you're being sensitive " which sets off the rage - I hate it when I get told " over sensitive" even when Im not pregnant!

I feel for you hun. I seemed ok in my second trimester but the minute I hit third I feel crazy. I have been in tears today because my husband's wants to redecorate the kitchen before little one arrives. I kicked up a huge fuss because I felt like he was being stubborn and wanting to change things when I didn't. Xx

I'm 15 weeks and constantly on the verge of tears. Even cried at work on Friday which is not like me at all. First trimester I was just irritable but now I've shifted towards sad and tearful. Glad I'm not alone.

Also feel bad for DP because I'm an emotional mess and taking it out on him which makes me want to cry even more!

Thanks @Rosiecotton I kinda feel like the things that would annoy me but I could handle or suck up now are things that make me cry and if it helps I have the changing / decorating the house when I'm not ready argument with my DH all the time!

@biscaytrafalgarfitzroy definitely not alone I feel really low today like I could just sit somewhere and listen to sad songs even though I don't really feel like I should be that upset, it's the first day I've properly felt it , as it's my first baby I just assumed I wouldn't get emotional in trimester 2

Just wanted to be honest about it as even though I love being pregnant and I'm v happy and lucky I definitely didn't expect to be feeling like I could cry all the time and it's v confusing !

I cried because I couldn't find my shoe one morning and shouted at DH. Then cried because I was sorry and a bad wife. Had to go to work late while he made me a cup of tea. Another day I screamed at him "Why am I being so unreasonable?!!" I mean, how the hell do you answer that?

So normal! I cried just now because I was thinking about Elizabeth and Will (Pirates of the Caribbean) and how he dies and they can only see each other every 10 years. It's madness!!!

i’m 19 weeks & have been an absolute nightmare over the last few weeks, so quickly in tears! so you’re definitely not alone.

I'm 18 weeks and an emotional wreck. I wake up every day feeling like I just can't face anything. I sobbed inconsolably this morning.

It is awful op and you have my sympathy. I feel like my brain has been taken over by aliens.

I also think your dp needs to start being a bit more supportive. My DH would get a swift kick in the knackers if he labelled me "over sensitive"

19 weeks here and a bag of barely contained tears and fury! I don't remember this the first time round. It makes me even more cross and upset that I hate not being in control of my emotions. Taken over by aliens is about right. The past week I've cried at work twice about literally nothing, and smacked the shit out of the bathtub I was failingtrying to fix with a piece of wood before dissolving into sobs for two solid hours. Batshit!

Thanks everyone glad Im not alone!

I just thought in trimester 2 things were smooth sailing, everyone says all your symptoms go and you barely feel pregnant whereas I feel really emotionally unstable!

Definitely going to try to explain to DH how it feels because I def dont appreciate " over sensitive" when in reality its just uncontrollable and its not a nice feeling

This is my third baby and I'm so glad I aint the only one .. I'm either going mad or crying my eyes out 😂 .. I'm guessing it's just the hormones can't wait to feel normal again! X

I cried down the phone at new look the other day when paying my bill!! Felt really stupid but just couldn't help it. I'm not normally too bad but maybe 2nd trimester hormone changes have kicked in for me too!!

Yep, me too. 17 weeks and most days I feel teary or irrationally p**sed off about something. Hormones all over the place! Good to know it's fairly common x
