Feeling low / emotional / “hormonal” at 26 weeks

Not sure what I’m asking really, just whether this is normal or anyone else is experiencing it and maybe a bit of a hand hold!

I am so happy to be pregnant, possibly the happiest I have ever been, but I have been feeling a bit irritable and emotional and upset the past week. I think one thing leads to another eg I am irritable so get upset with something DH has said or done and then that can lead to an argument or me bent more upset. I’m definitely emotional. we’ve been arguing today and I’ve been ina me to stop crying at certain points.

I think he is stressed and that doesn’t help. We both have stressful jobs and are quite busy. We are also trying to sell our house and buy a new one which is causing some stress too.

Overall I know it doesn’t matter as it’s not the end of the world if we are in this house a bit longer and work is manageable but between me feeling a bit hormonal and tired and him clearly being stressed and tired (he doesn’t handle stress well at all) I think we are winding each other up more and more.

Even writing this I feel like I could cry. I’m annoyed with him and upset with him but then feel rubbish because we’re not talking properly.

I always try to make light of everything if I can to keep the peace but then feel sh*t when he tells me he’s still annoyed. I was even trying to read him the blurb from my pregnancy app just now as I am 26 weeks today and he was a bit cold about it.

I’m just moaning. Maybe I need an early night!

He has done the same in that earlier, for example, almost immediately after one of our several arguments today, he was saying how cute the car seat is (that we bought yesterday) and just think we’ll have a baby in there soon...

It’s probably just stress and tiredness.

I worry about stress affecting baby too though.
