I am so moody this pregnancy!

[pontipinemum]

I'm 9 weeks pregnant and I am so so moody. I wasn't like this with my 1st. DH winds me up about it 'ooohhh do I need to be careful' well you didn't but now you do!

I am snappy which isn't like me. Thankfully not the DS who is only 1.5yr.

When will this pass or will I be a grump the rest of my days?!

I’m the same and I’m 22 weeks now! Like you, I wasn’t like this at all in my first pregnancy. I think it’s hard enough being pregnant anyway but with already having one DC to look after, there’s even less time to look after yourself. I’ve decided to focus less on, for example jobs that need doing around the house, and more on myself and taking a break now and again. Housework will get done when it gets done (although a messy house is also a source of stress for me 😅). Just try not to put too much pressure on yourself, you’re doing something amazing by growing a human and it’s bloody hard work!

Haha normal - awful hormones! I was like a psycho!! I felt so moody, so anxious and could not stand my partner... after week 12 it was like a switch flipped!!

Hang in there!! It's the worst!!

It's much harder to be pregnant with a toddler about, so you're probably more tired and therefore more snappy? I think I was. I was also just a bit more miserable as I knew what a slog I found pregnancy to be from the first time and there was less excitement that went along with the first time, so I was a bit more moody because of that?
