i,m in such a bad mood! is it hormones or am I a nutter?

[karney]

Over the past week I,ve felt in such a bad mood. I,m 18 wks Pg and so far everything has gone well, been getting routing scans and good results from blood tests. Admittedly It's been hard not to worry after previous mc,s but I just feel over the past wee while I,ve felt really narky. Life has it's ups and downs just like everyone but I just feel like everybody and everything is really annoying me (just like a bad case of PMT every day). Is this normal? will it pass? Any tips? thanks ladies xxx

its the hormones, you're not a nutter. Or if you are then I am too. Have been super narky since about 16 wks, feels like people are going out of their way to piss me off (not true of course). Now 29 wks & poor DP is still bearing the brunt of it. I seem utterly incapable of being civil to him at the mo. Even a polite enquiry as to how I'm feeling (FAT UNCOMFY ACHY PISSED OFF!) or hws my day been (EXHAUSTING & SHIT!!), causes me to overreact. Started crying the other day (& I really DON'T cry) coz DP pointed out (Correctly) that I was in the wrong lane on a roundabout. Then I refused to drive home, still in floods of tears and it was ALL HIS FAULT! I really hope it passes soon, can't imagine why he puts up with me sometimes. Tips, use the saner moments to get it into perspective and say sorry quite a lot. Even if you don't want to.

Sounds pretty normal to me (my poor dh will prob say too that yes your description is just like I have been)

Go with the flow, our hormones are going bonkers at the moment and for about 6 weeks all I did was moan morning to night, it's only just started getting better at 24 weeks and even now I'm still whingey. Think it will pass- be really kind to yourself, don't push yourself too hard to be "normal" and think of all the changes you are undergoing emotionally and physically. You've got every right to feel a bit out of sorts! Good luck x

Hormones. I am in a constant bad mood and am 38 weeks. I shouted at someone for parking over the my drive this morning! Also shouted at a teenager last week when he kicked someones car after he delibrately walked out in front of it. I am unstoppable at the moment

Yes, i was definitely uptight at that stage. It coincided with loads of blood tests I had to have done which the hospital then lost and summoned me to have done again, and I burst into tears at them down the phone.
I've mellowed a little bit, but behind the wheel it's a different story...am 38 weeks now.

I am the same, am currently 25 weeks and am like a bear with a sore head.
I am realy having to make an effort not to snap a the the Dc's

It's all normal, I'm psychobitch from hell when pg. Wait til after the birth, it gets worse! (I'm talking normal baby blues, not PND). I remember standing at the kitchen window when ds2 was a couple of days old, watching lovely dh hang the washing out, I started crying and bleating (to myself )
"he's not doing it right". Felt like it was the end of the world because of his weird pegging technique.

Lovely hormones.

karney - all normal am afraid, when are you due?

Oh, it's great, isn't it? I rang dh's mobile one night caz he wasn't home from work at the normal time,on the dot: left a ballistic message saying along the lines if you dare go out without telling me well feck you i won't tell you were i am you are horrible and don't care tec wailing to voicemail, dh then rang back about half hour kater telling me he had gone to church, as he had told me in the morning, and since i was in hiding and he had just got in it was toio late to cook so would i come home and bring fish and chips? I got home, dropped fish and chips on floor and walied and wailed (you know, where you can't talk properly) and veered bewteen still trying to bolock poor dh and say sorry. This went on for weeks

Just grovel to your dh when you are sane and reiterate you are apologising in advance for your mental moments!

Hi there, great to know I,m in good company. I seem to have mellowed out a little as the day has went on. Now I,m just tired and hungry.
snooks know what you mean with the "not doing it right" thing. Poor Dp has been very patient so far with my "do it my way" approach to everything.Bloody annoying when he doesn't though!!
dizzychixies - My due date is the 19th Aug.Seems like an eternity away but looking forward to baby and dp and I are delighted to get this far. I,m happy somewhere underneath all this grumpiness - honest! Good luck to everybody xxx
