anyone else feeling emotional in late pregnancy

[thislittlesisterlola]

Im starting to doubt whether this is normal. Past few days I've been rather emotional. Especially today for some reason. Cried three times all over petty things. Im also thinking of trading my mean horrible dp in for the romantic lovely Buble(I perhaps am being a little difficult for dp). I'm not normally a hormonal, emotional person but i have raging pmt- its horrible and making me feel crap Do I really have 6 more wks of this? Rant over.

Well, if it's not normal then I too am going slowly bonkers!

I'm due in a few days, so my hormones are in a constant state, swinging one minute from tearful to furious the next. It's exhausting.

When I had about six weeks or so to go I would often get 'hormone surges' where I would feel hormonal for a few hours every few days.

Unfortunately hormones affect me a lot, I get one bad pmt day a month usually. Hormones are part and parcel of growing a baby, so what can we do!

I bawled my eyes out yesterday at "The Snowgoose" on Radio 4, total over reaction, I was alone, driving so permitted myself a few wails. (Only 25 weeks) I feel the need to go to the bottom of the garden and ululate!

I can honestly say I hate everyone right now! I'm 41 weeks, can't believe I'm still pregnant 7 days overdue. Every morning since my due date I've woken up in tears that I'm still here, pissed off everytime I get yet another text asking if I've popped yet. Ahh

its completely normal, do not worry. i have a serious hatred of almost everyone right now, which would normally be so not right, i have everyone supporting me brilliantly at the moment and literally doing everything for me (bed bound), but still im pissed off at them and want them to all go away.
DH is trying his best, but his breathing is irritating me!!

and things on crappy daytime tv are making me cry; im not a crying type person!! (im 36+5)

Well it seems its all normal, though I think DP thinks im tad strange and overly emotional. As sunshiney said part and parcel of this growing baby business. Feel much better knowing its not just me. first1 i hope you give birth very soon! kwiltshire sorry to hear you're bedbound though i know exactly what you mean about the DH. My DP was happy this morning. Quite chirpy- this annoyed me hugely! Bless, he cant win. onedge i cried at the vodafone advert!

I am 35+4, and don't usually cry. But for the past week or so havn't stopped! Anything sets me off.
I am not speaking to DH at the minute, and can't remember why? Waiting for an appology, for what I don't know?
Wasn't like this for my first, and had a boy. So DH has told me I must be having a girl?
I just feel miserable, then annoyed at myself for being so silly.
When I should thank myself lucky for what I have!
Someone throw a bucket of cold water over me! lol
ktwiltshire, I slep on the sofa last night, due to his breathing. My back is bad agin today - Dohh!!

I am 35 weeks and feel awful. emotional, depressed. Cried my eyes out at an AIBU thread about a little boy and his dummy. Feeling completely incapable of being a decent mother to my child because i am afraid that i know nothing about nappies/feeding/clothes, anything. Having bad dreams. Really need to clean the kitchen. Need a pimms too!

Oh, and as for crying over silly things... yesterday i was in a cafe drinking hot chocolate and a man in a suit came in and ordered a coronation chicken sandwich. I found myself thinking of this man, who had a job, and loved ones, and hopes and fears and probably has had tough times but all he wanted right then was a coronation chicken sandwich and I found myself bawling silently.

I mean, really.

Hi All.
I'm 33+6 and very emotional. Drove to work today crying because I left DS (2.3) in nursery and he might miss me (he's been going to nursery for 16 months now).
I spent yesterday evening crying all over DH because

1. I'm not as patient with DS as I used to be
2. DS won't get all my attention once this baby is born
3. I'll have to leave DS without me when I go into hospital to have the baby (very likely cs) and most importantly
4. DS didn't run up to me when I picked him up from nursery but waved and carried on playing.

I know he'll be fine and its probably just last minute nerves at the impending birth. Very lucky to have an understanding DH who just gives me a hug and lets me blub all over him.

Oh god yes, things I've cried at recently:
-an episode of neighbours
-that 'always a woman' John Lewis advert
-when the girl won in Over the Rainbow
-when DH told me we couldn't redecorate the house before the baby comes and to stop being so silly
-various sob stories on Britain's Got Talent
-whenever my 2yo DD does/says anything remotely sweet (she's such an angel, sob...)
-whenever DD plays up (she hates me, I'm such a terrible mother, sob...)
-when MIL said I looked as big as her daughter when she was pregnant with twins (actually I think I deserved to be upset by that!)

I'm 38+2 and a complete emotional wreck, as you can tell!

pmsl at the coronation chicken story, that's just the kind of thing would make me weep at the moment!

Same here, although happy to report that at 37 weeks after spending most of the last fortnight in tears over anything and everything I've cheered up significantly over the last few days. DH can't quite get over the transformation - this time last week I was also screaming at him for breathing "at me"... the poor bloke was sleep!

Not quite sure how long it will last in this heat but for now am putting it down to having finally finished work and having been spoilt by my mother for the weekend.

Psml at the coronation chicken story

I'm 38 plus 4 and oscillate wildly!

Last night I was weepy because there is NO WAY I can have another baby because ds is my baby and I am btraying him by having another child.

Then today I threw the pram body across the hallway because I couldn't get it to lie flat while I converted it back to baby-mode.

AM also pmsl at the coronation chicken thing.

nickytwotimes am so with you on the feeling like I am betraying my DD by having another baby. Last night I sobbed myself to sleep thinking about how she would no longer be getting all my attention and how that was going to damage her for the rest of her life!

negrilbaby I so understand your panics about what will happen to your ds when you are having the baby. I too am having a cs and am freaking out about being 3 days away from my DD. My mother in law is moving in to look after her and that is also freaking me out!!!

In general feel like crap, am uncomfortable, also find my DH the most irritating person i the world and yet still have 3 weeks to go!! On a positive note I have managed to potty ttrain in 2 weeks at 36 weeks pregnant!
