30 weeks - feeling confused

[Mcevoy123]

This is my first post, so here we go..
I'm 32 weeks pregnant with my first baby. Things have been going smoothly so far, although starting to feel tired and achy now. My DH and are are very excited 2 be expecting
Lately though, my DH is getting quite snappy with me about really small things. He can get quite het up and raises his voice and actually gets angry. Once things have settled I've asked that he doesn't shout in future as it upsets me and he just says he didn't shout. It really upsets me and sometimes this makes me cry. I know some of this might be the good old hormones making me sensitive but I'd expect him to be kinder to me, given I've told him all about my aches, struggling to sleep well, and all the other challenges of the third trimester. Am I being over sensitive? I feel so upset about the way he talks to me recently.

I think if the way he is talking to you is upsetting you, then he is in the wrong. You're pregnant and he should be supporting you. Is there anything else going on in his life that could be causing him stress? (Work etc?)
How is he feeling about that baby? Could he be worried/nervous and it's affecting his mood?
Either way, I think you need to try to talk to him when he's not in a snappy mood and explain how he's making you feel, hopefully with a clear head he'll realise the error of his ways.

Thanks MegCharlotte. I think you're right and I need to speak with him when he's not in a snappy mood. Often he is supportive but then will have days where he seems so frustrated with me and really snaps at me if we've run out of something, that type of small, inconsequential thing. I'm consciously trying to do a bit less as I've been feeling really tired, achy and I'm still working full time, but I find it hard to make him understand. I just get upset when I'm shouted at and when I raise it with him later (often in tears) he just says it's nonsense.
Sorry, I probably sound like a wet blanket, normally I'm really not which is why it's getting to me.

@Mcevoy123 I really feel for you and hope it gets better and it's just a phase which comes with readjusting to impending parenthood.
I hope you have friends/family who can support you too? X

What is the shouting about? speak to him because it’s the last thing you need 💐
