Hormones - Severely highly strung

[Whathefisgoingon]

I’m 15 weeks pregnant with my second and finding this pregnancy completely different to my first.

The worst part is definitely the level of anxiety which I increased dramatically, but also my overall happiness.

I am SO highly strung. DP and I have had a few arguments recently anyway re boundaries and behaviours of his, but if he so much as says one thing wrong in the morning it could ruin my whole day. Some days, I just wake up in an absolutely foul mood and question whether I even want the baby! (I do)

Anyone else feeling the same?

I would talk to your midwife about how you're feeling, just in case you might need to be more closely monitored for your mental health during and immediately after pregnancy. It's great you're recognising that you're reacting and feeling different to usual but do make sure you let your medical team know

I was the same as you. Also my second. I had really bad anxiety that sky rocketed at 26 weeks. My rage definitely caused arguments with poor DP. Trying to find a new house to live in before baby comes obviously wasn’t helping and was a huge stress factor.

Tbh I didn’t do anything specific but I did let my midwife and health visitor know what was going on. They were super supportive and offered MH help. I didn’t need it thankfully but at least they know🙂

Im 32 weeks on Tuesday and can say I am feeling much better.

hang on in there x
