mood swings ...and swings...

[motherinferior]

Is it just me (no it can't be, please tell me); the combination of exhaustion and hormones is plunging me into the sort of state that only acute PMT would usually do. Just found myself weeping for a good hour about being tired (32 weeks pregnant and have 2 year old), lonely (I work from home), partner (who is a sweetie but also tired, poor love), et not terribly fascinating cetera...just reassure me it isn't me, please?

No. I'm 27 weeks and blubbing all the time. I even managed to start weeping during a meeting with my boss this morning about a completely non-emotive topic. We've both agreed to just ignore me.

unfortunately I ended up having row ('you never talk to me', and so on) with partner on phone at which point he got rather cross. He was in the office, to do him justice. Which I don't, very often.

Motherinferior, its not just you at all! Dh has been very diplomatic with me recently blubbing because I was so tired and wanted a nap, he offered to take ds to the park to give me some peace.. I then started blubbing that I wished I could go too as I will miss them.. UM PLEASE! I have recently wept at Eastenders too and sat on the loo crying with exhaustion while ds looked on interestingly thinking my wee was hurting me. You are not alone and I do feel better after one of these bizarre moments. Take care!

I'm only 18 weeks so have eons to go, but the weeping seems totally normal to me, as well as the inexplicable crankiness. I slept all the way through my pregnancy wil DD so didn't have the chance to show any emotion, so this time I am really seeing the full force of pregzilla.

About 2 weeks ago I went to see my mum, whilst I was out my DH did the washing up, cooked dinner and hung out the laundry. What did I do? I screamed and slammed doors because he didn't take the rubbish out.....

I have also taken to watching Discovery Health and crying hysterically everytime a baby is born.

pie, pregzilla -love it!

Oh yes I can really relate to this thread! Am only 8 weeks & the pattern for my day goes - nausea until lunchtime, crying at EVERYTHING & ANYTHING all afternoon & to round it off tears & very bad mood during evening! It is nice to know I have company in this - though still feels as though I'm going barmy & this then leads on to my thinking "How can I have another one when I can't cope with just one..." accompanied by sobs of couse!

I think lots of it is exhaustion. In some ways I was tireder last time round; this time I don't have to commute/travel at all much, but on the other hand I do have a lot more work, which combined with small child means a pretty full-on working day (8 till 4.30, Mon-Thurs) and, of course, the exhaustion that's normal to parents of toddlers...hey, things can only get worse...

Oh, I haven't had the tears at all, but been in a bloody awful mood for 2 days solid now. I am evily grumpy. I'm amazed my kids are still 'nice' to me. Dh has got no tolerance. He's just made the mistake of 'phoning up, asking how I was, me telling him - him advising me not to analise everything, me barking down his ear about being as supportive as a fart in the face them slamming 'phone down... He hasn't rung back.

When does this end?

I am so tired and lethrgic - is there really 26 weeks to go??
