12 weeks pregnant - hormonal still! last 2 days felt irritable and cross

[flissity]

I was starting to feel like the 1st trimester crappiness was going. But last couple of days I have felt down, negative, angry, short-tempered. Tired again etc..
My back is aching like mad at night, so with that and the endless trips to the toilet! Not getting enough sleep :(
I'm pregnant with 3rd, but youngest is 7 so it all feels new!

I thought the hormones settled down towards 12 weeks? Will it pass? I feel so negative right now, and this is not like me at all. I also still have another week and a half until my dating scan.

Tbh, I was exactly the same up until about 16 weeks, then it started again about 28-32 weeks. I couldn't eat anything until 12 weeks so was terrible!
The only thing about hormones is, it can just come and go whenever in pregnancy and it's crap
Good luck op!!

Thanks - I think it just worries me! the negative feelings, etc. I should KNOW its not really how I feel, but try telling 'hormonal me' that. I know that I am not depressed, and I know how much we want the baby! But i have these horrible feelings.
I guess if I think back, its the same as a day or 2 before my period, so I know its not really me.... does that make sense!! i am babbling...

Poor you with the not eating. I have been eating a lot, its the only way to keep nausea at bay

The hormonal feelings can be so distressing and frustrating
I didn’t feel hormonal as such until around week 23. Now I’m stuffing my face with rubbish and crying irrationally - PMS style!

yes its exactly like PMS.
Just spoke to DH on the phone because I was so miserable and cold (How awful) to him last night. He said hes been googling and its all normal. I am so lucky he is patient and understanding.

Also as no one knows I am pregnant, i just feel fat and tired! we will tell family after the scan next friday
