7 weeks pregnant and I can't bear to look at him today . He's slightly hungover from a few beer in front of the tv last night he has done no harm but he's just irritating me no end. His breathing is really grinding on me . How do I get past this 😂😂😂

Mine left us at 7 weeks so it was pretty easy! But I think the best thing to do is grin and bear it- he’s not doing it on purpose and you know that!

AnneLovesGilbert · 25/08/2018 21:13

Get him to make you food. I have never loved mine more at the moment and it's partly down to his habit of showing up with meals and snacks and telling me to nap Grin

Gobletoffire · 25/08/2018 21:13

I feel the same! I keep getting very irritable and snappy with DH, then feel guilty and apologise but then I’m snappy again the next day. Poor bloke can’t win.

motortroll · 25/08/2018 22:07

Someone I know once asked me what it was like to be pregnant (I was about 10 weeks....my reply was "imagine you really really hate your husband....."

The early weeks are the worst for rage!!!

I’m 32 weeks and I think my boyfriend thinks I’m a monster at the minute! I know I’ve been awful to him throughout the whole pregnancy but I really can’t help it! He also keeps saying this will be our only child because he can’t go through with me being pregnant again!😂 surely I haven’t been that bad....😳😂

BlueBug45 · 26/08/2018 00:20

His smell. I sometimes just can't cope with it.

My OH wasn't allowed to drink beer until I was 28 weeks because he smelt rank afterwards for 36 hours.

If he eats mushrooms he smells rank for nearly 3 days. He ate mushrooms two days ago.

Oh well he enjoys sleeping on the floor...

firsttimebabybirther · 26/08/2018 00:39

Couldn't stand mine half the time when I was pregnant Grin on more than one occasion I woke up already pissed off at him because I could just sense he was going to piss me off that day.

And his smell, he could be fresh out the shower and it would make me feel sick , luckily , this only lasted about a week!

MeredithShepherd · 26/08/2018 08:07

Nope haven’t been able to stand mine most of the way through. I’m 30 weeks now!

colourful86 · 28/08/2018 11:16

Completely!
We argue constantly, usually him calling me unreasonable as I get pissed off with him drinking.
I've said all I want is for him to be sober enough to drive me to the hospital for labour, I'm 31 weeks with a 4lb 7 baby already, so I've said no more than a glass a night. But I'm unreasonable as we could just phone an ambulance or my mother, who I can't stand for very long usually and I certainly don't want there as I'm in labour, all because he can't possibly be expected to not have at least 3 glasses of wine!
Rant over 😂

RosiePosies · 28/08/2018 12:19

This morning I said to OH 'Oh god I feel so sick today' and he sarkily replied 'it's because you're pregnant'. He made a swift exit when he saw my face. I can't think about it now because it makes me so angry.

Stephisaur · 28/08/2018 15:19

I've been mostly ok with mine, but last night he decided to fling the door to the ensuite wide open, put the light on and rummage for ibuprofen at midnight.

Woke me up and I couldn't get back to sleep for an hour, cue grumpy pregnant wife this morning!

LadyFromLondon · 28/08/2018 16:17

I've hated mine on off. I think it's because I've felt that he doesn't know what I'm going through. We decided not to mention the pregnancy until the 12 wk scan, but I told my gym instructor before as I was slightly worried about the classes I was doing. Hubby wasn't happy, he couldn't understand why I'd told the instructor! And since I've been pregnant and can't drink, he's been getting more drunk when we go out!

lolacola13 · 28/08/2018 18:02

This is turning into quite the thread for us preggos to vent out on . Keep me coming ladies. Yesterday my partner had a small bit of sauce in his beard shortly after dinner and I actually nearly vomited

lolacola13 · 28/08/2018 18:03

Keep THEM coming ladies not me 🙄🙈

Sunflowerr · 28/08/2018 18:07

I could kill him in his sleep most nights.

PerfectlyPosed · 28/08/2018 18:11

Oh god I can totally relate to this. Am 31 weeks now and kind of like him but first trimester, I hated him!

lolacola13 · 28/08/2018 18:12

@Sunflowerr yesssss the mouth breathing . FACE THE OTHER WAY

sirmione16 · 28/08/2018 18:15

My OH eats too loudly, breathes too loudly, fidgets too much, doesn't listen well. He's so innocent love him but so bloody annoying at the moment (it's all me. But I won't admit it to him. I think he knows)

ArchbishopOfBanterbury · 28/08/2018 18:18

I'm 8+2, I've been home from work 10 minutes and already raged at DH. It's a long time till bedtime.

PirateWeasel · 28/08/2018 18:23

Haha, you don't get past it. 37 weeks and just started mat leave. DH is making it clear that he thinks I should be making myself useful while he's at work, e.g. baking, cooking, packing his lunch. B* to that! Just dropped quiche on the floor trying to get it out of the oven with my huge unbendable bump and clumsy pregnant reflexes. Have left it for him to clear up. Hahaha.

swimchick1980 · 28/08/2018 18:23

It’s the breathing and the leaving things (mainly clothes) all over the floor, which I now struggle to pick up. I’m seriously thinking of buying one of those litter pick up things!!

@AnneLovesGilbert, how far along are you? So pleased for you - I remember your wonderful support for everyone on a previous forum and hoped you would get your happy ending.

Sunflowerr · 28/08/2018 18:51

@lolacola13 when he faces me, he lies close to me and snores so loudly. When he turns round the other way, I can barely hear him. Yet he insists on facing me. Infuriating.

OutPinked · 28/08/2018 18:51

The first sign I was pregnant was DP turning to me first thing in the morning to tell me he loved me and I gipped Grin. It was my birthday and we were in Paris, it was supposed to be a romantic moment Grin.

I couldn’t stand the smell of him at all during the first trimester, I had to keep him at arms length. Now I’m 30 weeks that has disappeared but I do find myself getting irrationally irritated with him and I desperately need space all of a sudden. I’ve transformed into an absolute bitch tbh, he doesn’t even deserve it!

lolacola13 · 28/08/2018 18:58

These stories are hilarious 😂... @Sunflowerr I poke oh and make him turn round I categorically cannot sleep with him facing me I feel like we're just rebreathing each others air 😩😂
