Partner tired of my grumpiness

[Firsttimer7259]

Have been in a bad mood all day. Been negative about various things. Partner is at home with a cold and has just told me off massively for being so negative.

I feel bad, I am grumpy. But I also feel: I am the size of a house, everything hurts, I have stuff I need to get done that I cant do because it all hurts so why do I have to be cheerful/positive. Grrrrr

Anyone give me some perspective?

Im the same, Im only 9+2 but I get really bad mood swings as recently been in a really irritable mood for no reason saying how shit everything is. DP annoyed at me too but just apologise when i calm down.

Your allowed to be grumpy, sometimes i just feel like screaming and moaning about everything.

How far gone are you?

no, he needs to get some perspective.
pregnancy just does that to you, you will be grumpy and hormonal and tired and fat... he needs to be more understanding.

You are definitely entitled to be grumpy in late stages of pregnancy.

(Blushingly recalls own behaviour when in similar state.dp had come home and asked what was for tea.Had lovingly prepared casserole.He said "Oh,I'm not sure I fancy that".The red mist came down and I slung the whole dish out of the back door onto the patio paving and screamed like a banshee "Make your own f---ing tea then".)

I am fairly even tempered,usually,but being heavily pregnant does these things to one.

Am a bit gutted in retrospect,I LIKED that casserole dish

My DH reminds me everyday that Im a grumpy cow. He does understand that it cant be helped, but he is frustrated by my attitude, and he snaps. Im hoping that it should get better soon as Im now entering the 2ndT...we'll see

haha mavis thats hilarious, i do things like then bitterly regret it because ive just broken something i loved!

My fav thing to do right now while in a grump is slam doors, any door i can get, front door, back door, front room door, cupboard door, microwave door......

Mavis - that's brilliant . Sorry about the casserole dish though...

Honestly - why any partner of a pregnant woman would even think it is a good idea to point out to said pregnant woman that she is grumpy is beyond me. My DH (not known for his patience usually) had managed to not once allude to my (frankly horrific) levels of grumpiness this pg (34 wks) - because he knows the safety of his family jewels depends on it...

I am 33 weeks and its been a tough pregnancy. I have had one big anger fit a few weeks ago. And today I am miserable but just cant snap out of it.

Feeling a bit put upon because its like he only remembrs the bad stuff and I feel like I really cant help it. But at the same time I am really huffy today and its probably not nice to be around. IN a way if he was at work it wouldnt be so bad as we are both limping about in the same space getting on each others nerves

Same grumpy attitude here - 29 weeks and have a very low tolerance threshold for anything and everything at the moment.

This morning, dp DARED to speak to me as I was getting ready to leave for work, to ask for my car keys - I flipped...turns out he only wanted to warm my car up and scrape the frost off for me

Thank you for these stories. It makes me feel a lot better to think I am not the only one who is just so unstable emotionally. I am going to take myself off to lie down with big bowl of ice cream. Keep em coming and I will cheer myself up later with knowing I am not alone. May even impart details of my incredible freak out over nothing a few weeks back (I ahve been keeping it secret)

I'm 36 wks & feel like the size of a house..........am in a right grump too, & of course the tears are flowing. Don't think any man can understand how uncomfortable it can get & all day Its been on the tip of my tongue to say, why don't you try doing that with 2 basketballs shoved up your jumper. I can bearly bend down at the moment & trying to run around after 17month old is exhausting................... Wish i had one of those pregnancy body suits that I could strap to my husband just to show him what it's like. God love him he is very caring & is helping, but just with the normal stuff.... who's packed the bags etc for the hospital, who'll get my DD overnight bag ready...me of course....to be fair I'd probably tell him he's doing it wrong anyways if he tried to help...as i do when he does help, he can't win really, when he's dealing with these hormones...but it'll all be worth it in a few weeks time
