Just wanted a rant really. This last week I have been so close to the surface with irritability and feeling angry at things.
I'm not normally an angry person at all and it’s really weird to suddenly have such a short fuse. I think it must be hormones but I didn’t experience this in previous pregnancy.
its inconveniently coincided with my 2 year old going through a phase of being very difficult and acting out. He’s crying at not getting his own way, being defiant and getting upset over the slightest thing, throwing and refusing food etc. I know it’s a phase and that he is testing boundaries and the plan we’ve been going for is to ignore the tantrums and bad behaviour and praise the good so he will learn this type of manipulation won’t work (obviously comfort him if there is something wrong and try to help him problem solve) but right now I feel myself wanting to snap at him all the time and then feel bad about it.
I'm also irate to the max about tiny things at work that really don’t matter or warrant it and trying to keep my cool!
has anyone else been through pregnancy rage? Did it last long for you? Did you find anything helped? Trying not to see red all the time
thanks
