Pregnancy hormones or fallen out of love?

[Jo12345678]

Hello, I’m 11 weeks pregnant with my third baby. I have two sons 4 and 1. I’m just a bit confused at the moment and looking for advice. Since becoming pregnant I have sort of gone off my partner or got the ick as you might call it. I feel like I’m not even sure if I love him anymore. I have no idea why these feelings have suddenly come about or if they are just hormones. I get angry or upset by him very easily and just feel completely different towards him. I’m upset because it should be a happy time for us both to share together. Anyone felt like this before or any advice
Thanks

Totes pregnancy hormones :)

Still - can you think of anything specific that would help you feel less crap?

Sleeping in a different room to help you sleep more? Having a day or two away for yourself?

I’ve been here before in my relationship and found its best to be honest with him. Just apologise, explain it’s the hormones probably, but you really don’t like him at the moment and need your space. My DH was surprisingly understanding and did just that.

After a few weeks I started to feel myself again - so don’t make any rash decisions yet!

I think all long term relationships go through these phases whether you’re pregnant or not! Michelle Obama speaks very eloquently on what she’s been through with Barack!

Try to figure out what you need and go get it x

Ditto, pregnancy hormones. Pregnancy seems to change some women to super clingy and lovey and can’t-be-away from partner; and others (like me) just want them to go away for the full 9 months!! Ha. Congrats on your pregnancy.

Agreed, periods and pregnancy have made me irritable and annoyed at the tiny things my husband does. It sounds like hormones!

I think you are right communication is key and it’s best I discuss this with him. I mean we both work a lot so we don’t even see each other much, that’s why I’m not sure why I feel this way.

I will deffo have a talk anyway.
Hormones can do strange things to a person haha

Thanks for your advice x

I’m so sorry if you get this twice I’m new to this and I’m a bit confused lol

It’s really strange isn’t it,
I’m usually really clingy and need affection so this is very odd to me.

Thank you very much 😊

Haha I’m glad I’m not alone!

He only has to breathe near me before I get annoyed but hopefully as time goes I might start to feel back to normal. I’m just so cranky lol

Happened to my friend she hated n couldn't stand her partner at the time thd baby is now 4 n they are still together

That gives me hope, im sure it’s just a temporary feeling. Thank you

This happened to me with my first baby, I hated the sight of him and thought "how can I possibly stay with this man" on a daily basis... can confirm it was just hormones and look back and feel awful for how I treated him during that time xx

I had this too. It got better once I had the baby but only after my hormones (and sleep) improved.

I felt like this in the early stages too- I was honestly thinking to myself I am taking this baby and will do it alone rather than be with him- he’d done nothing but wait on me hand and foot the poor bloke!! It got better towards end of second trimester and I’m completely back to loving him now haha

Definitely temporary pregnancy 'ick'

I had it until I was about 20 week's-even OH breathing in my direction made me tense up and feel rage! Couldn't stand him touching or trying to cuddle me - even when I could rationalize and see all he was doing was trying to help! Thankfully seem to be past it now, and gone to the other extreme where I'm really clingy and can't sleep until he comes to bed the joy of pregnancy hormones!!

Hahaha I’m glad I’m not alone. It’s so strange like he literally does nothing wrong but I can’t even be near him poor fella haha

Hopefully it won’t last the whole way through the. Lol. I agree he can’t breathe without me getting annoyed. It’s awful but hopefully it will pass. I was like that in the other two pregnancies over the top clingy, that’s why I’m confused this time haha

Haha definitely the hormones. I'm pregnant with my 3rd and I had it for the first 20 weeks of this one!

Definitely hormones! It's very common!
Tell him you're irritable, not that you've gone off him!
I've had friends who suddenly couldn't bear the smell of their partners to the point it made them feel sick! So could be worse...
Hang on in there and congratulations.

Was like this with my ex! But after the first trimester, I became kind of clingy, very strange for me but he liked it as he'd been feeling so unloved for a few months. It could be the hormones - I would give it a chance if he's a good partner.

Hormones. i know it's hardly comparable but I get a bit like this with furniture...thinking why did we choose this sofa and the colour makes me feel physically sick etc.
