22 weeks and so bloody moody!

[babyignoramus]

I've been fine up until now - no real mood swings (well, no more than normal!) - but the last few days I've been so miserable. I've been snappy, moody, unco-operative and I can't seem to help myself! People who I normally like are really irritating me too. It's really getting me down and i'm starting to freak out about post-natal depression etc. - if I can't control my emotions now, what will I be like later?! I don't think this is a depressive thing because I'm not lacking in motivation when I'm at home - it just seems to be at work. Maternity leave can't come soon enough. Please tell me this is a normal phase!

oh I was exactly the same. I am very laid back and the least "hormonal" person you will ever meet (not even a hint of baby blues) but I could barely tolerate my work colleagues (or being in work) when I was pg. Hated being there and hated every one of them!

As for the day when my boss walked up to my desk and told me that I always seemed to be eating.. I nearly punched him in the face

this morning i couldn't fnd ds2 other shoe (dh had undressed him) and my blood was beginning to boil...i felt in such a rage i wanted to lie on the floor and weep and not have to take ds1 to school. had to put on his wellies instead...but i was really shocked how livid i was about such a little thing.

i feel a bit like a misunderstood toddler...but the temper comes quickly and goes quickly. sheesh no wonder my midwife is nmonitoring my bp

try not to worry about pnd...i don't think its linked with how your feeling in pregnancy and i'm don't think you can really know before what will happen

Och NO! Don't worry thinking it'll lead to PND! Your body is being used very harshly as a vessel without a care for you and it's bloody tiring and hard work, esp if you have other kids. If you are not entitled to feel grumpy and pissed off now when are you? I don't know if you noticed on the due in March thread that I mentioned about a week or so ago that the 'I'm-not-taking-any-shit-from-anyon'hormones had well and truely kicked in - it's all part of the process. Today, I was watching my friend's 17 month old DD cry and throw herself on the floor for no particular reason and I looked on enviously and remarked to my friend that I wished I could do that. Often.

Im 20wks and feel just the same. Had a similar phase when i was about 9wks then it got better now if im remotely tired or annoyed I HATE EVERYONE and most things to be fair.

Boss at work (although he is a w*nker at the best of time), other colleagues, fellow passengers on train and especially the tube (they are all so rude!), my mother- for being the way she has always been and worst of all my DH which is awful as he is dealing wiht a shite load of pressure from lots of places including having a moody pregnant wife so he has every right to be stressed!

Hoping it passes or we might be heading for divorce before the birth!

Does this moodyness also include feeling like utter crap when at work? As soon as I get into the building I get a headache and can't be bothered to do anything. mind you I do have the dullest temp role in the world - which doesn't help...it is really getting me down actually. Coming in each day is only marginaly better than lying at home feeling sorry for myself.
