Pregzilla...

I'm 13 weeks pregnant and am having the most extreme, out of body, crazy mood swings.. I can't stop jumping down my partner's throat, and not just mild irritation, but full-on 'I want to rip your head off' rages. It's got to the stage where I go ballistic with him over the littlest thing almost every day... I know he's getting really tired of it too. I can't seem to just be rational.. is this hormones? Will it pass or am I losing my mind??!!

Thanks!

It will pass.

Sometime when your baby leaves home probably

No, in all seriousness, it will ease off :)

Ohh I was like that after the birth! I'd sit and watch him innocently reading the newspaper and think, "I'm on to you, mate. I know all your tricks. You're sitting there pretending nothing's going on - well, I'm ready for you!"

I think I was mad, really.

But if you're like that now, perhaps it's best to check with your midwife that everything's okay. I'm sure it is, but mood swings like that aren't usually connected with the earlier stages of pregnancy, as far as I know, anyway.

When I was about 20 weeks DH (who is lovely) had brought home a take away we were quietly eating it and discussing middle names. He said we should think about my suggestion for a boys middle name rather than deciding it there and then. I screamed at him that he had always hated me and obviously wanted me out of the house then left the room slammed the door and ran to the bedroom crying. Poor man just cleared up the kitchen. It does pass honestly.

It will pass.

I was about 12 weeks pg with DS3, and we went out for a meal. Had a conversation about, of all things, the colour of our new car, and I ended up screaming and crying in the middle of the restaurant, then laughing at myself for being so mad.

The funny thing was, I meant both of them, I was upset enough to be crying hysterically, and aware enough to be laughing at myself at the same time.

Poor DH just sat their patting my hand, with his mouth going like a goldfish.

I went really unnecessarily brutally honest during both my pregnancies. I really offended my sister on a few occasions. I was like a batty old lady. It passed and afterwards I returned to normal and now I'm as sane and well balanced as they come...most of the time.

Oh thank you so much to all of you - you've really made me both laugh out loud and breathe a sigh of relief.

ModreB, I have the same thing - laughing at myself hysterically but still really, deeply feeling the thing that has sent me completely fruitloop!

Ah, I feel much better! x

hormental! love it!! :o
