Second trimester and stupidly emotional

[marinova]

I honestly don't know what is wrong with me at the moment I am so all over the place. The last few days I have been losing my temper or crying over nothing. I think I am also struggling with the idea of being away from work for so long. Don't get me wrong I am super happy to meet my new little boy and spend time with him, but it also feels like everything is changing in life. My confidence is in the bin too, pregnancy makes me feel super unattractive. How can I snap myself out of this?

Oh I know exactly how you feel, I was the same throughout my pregnancy and few days after my little man arrived. He was born on 24th dec and is now 4 months old and I've finally got rid of the horrible sad, deflated feeling, i honestly blame hormones its brutal, one minute I'd be on cloud nine the next I'm up at 4 in the morning crying for no reason, i promise you as hard as it gets through pregnancy its so rewarding after.

Following in case someone has a winning suggestion.
I’m almost in the third trimester and still shout / crying every other day. It’s miserable.
Yesterday I properly cried because my dh said he liked my new jacket but I didn’t feel that I was doing anything that warranted a new jacket.
I cry a lot for my youngest who doesn’t realise her life is going to change and probably not for the better.
So lots of solidarity from me.

I hope it’s the hormones.
