36 weeks pregnant and pissed off

[cyphercat]

I'm more hormonal than ever (can't wait for it to come out) and I'm being crap with DD who's 2 and a half. For example, I was trying to get her ready to go to her dancing class today (which she loves once she gets there but she just says she doesn't) and she was having a tantrum saying she doesn't want to go and I had to get her dressed otherwise we would be late. I started counting to 5 and told her to sit on a naughty step, then she said she's going now and asked I change her nappy with her lying down. I put her down but not carefully so she bumped her head on the floor all this while she was non stop screaming her head off for about 5 min. DH comes down and tells me I'm hurting her so I feel like I'm abusing mommy and now I feel really crap. Now he has taken her to dancing class and ordered me to stay home. It feels like I'm so tired ALL THE TIME and want to sleep and don't want to do anything on top of feeling like crap abusive mom! I was physically abused as a child and I would never dream of doing it to my children. I hope I'm not anyway. SOMEONE MAKE ME FEEL BETTER PLEASE!!

God, sounds like every day in my house . Seriously, stop being so hard on yourself, it's so bloody hard sometimes especially when you are pregnant with a toddler in tow. I have felt tired all the time since dd1 was born (6 years ago) I think it just becomes a default setting tbh. You are doing a great job, you are not abusing your children - but you know that in less stressed moments! Keep calm and carry on...

oh. thank you...I'm just sittin feeling sorry for myself and my dd (NOT AT DH) which is pathetic I know. I think I might go have a lie down while they are out for 30min. so I can feel a bit normal.

Cyphercat - I'm 35 weeks and feel exactly the same !

I'm super grumpy and hormonal with both my DH and DD.

I'm coping at the moment by treating myself nicely - nice food, smelly baths at night which really help with my SPD and eating nice food. If I feel really knackered I go to bed early and sod everything else !

You're feeling just the same as everyone else and you have no reason to feel guilty - just hang on in there, it will all be worth it soon

Hello I opened your thread as I am 36 weeks tomorrow and have had the mother of all hormonal days. I just feel like crying and I have no idea why?!

Unlike you I don't have to deal with a toddler too but I am sure that you are doing the right thing and it must be very very hard.

Hang on in there girl, hormones are a bugger!

I know. I just feel like crying all the time no reason (anything will go, tired, hurts, heavy, can't sleep). It's horrid isn't it.... And to DH, he's fed up with all my complaints as he can't help me anyways. Thank you everybody, I think I will have lovely nice bath for myself tonight. and tomorrow I might go buy something nice for bath...) That's great idea, instead of thinking when I'm going to organize all DD's clothes so that baby can wear them!!

oh yeah! me too.

im 36 weeks on thursday and i am one hormonal grumpy mess! i have no patience and no energy for anything and sadly do end up losing it with my lovly but challenging DS (3) because we spend so much time together.

you are not alone and it will get better! try to get some rest and keep your chin up
