Is it normal to go off your other half?

[katefirsttimer]

Hi,
Its my first time being pregnant and at the time of writing this I?m only entering my 7th week.
My partner and I found out about the pregnancy 2 weeks ago. The first few days was a shock and we was undecided, then we both realised we wanted this baby and loved each other. I was walking on cloud 9 and couldn?t be happier ??. Until last Tuesday (its now Friday ? so 4 days ago). For some crazy reason a thought came into my head that I didn?t love my partner anymore (don?t know why, we haven?t argued), and since then I?ve pushed him away and been ratty with him for no reason. The poor guy cant do enough for me but even the smell of his breath gets on my nerves and I?ve questioned myself if I?m doing the right thing. Is this normal ??? It was only last week that I thought to myself ?I couldn?t be happier? and now I?m considering ending a relationship with a guy that is almost perfect in my ideological world. Please help.

Yes completely normal

And normal after years and years together too

Its your hormones

tell him to clean his teeth

As cyb says.

I regularly go off DH and I love him to pieces.

Completely normal. DH was inexplicably irritating last night despite doing absolutely nothing wrong. I'll like him again in a day or so. Poor bloke - I just do something else (read/crochet/mn) until the feeling passes.

My husband does insist on breathing in, and then breathing out again

When I was pg he irritated me much worse. And when you've had the baby you'd much rather share the bed with it than him.

Normal normal normal.

Thanks CYB, just hope they pass as quick as they came because he has to go and work away for 6 months in the Middle East. He leaves next week, so I don?t want him to be going with me being a ratty witch and then me regretting and feeling all guilty.
Thanks for the reassurance hun.

Yes I was wondering this.
We've been together for 35 years and I cannot for the life of me work out what I saw in him.

Thanks Nagoo, that made me laugh out loud in my office lol

tell him you know you are being picky and try and forgive him for breathing before he goes

Totally normal when you're pg. Your moods will be all over the place and your dh won't know what's hit him (probably you if you get bad ones!). Try not to worry it will pass x

Both pregnancies I hated my ex for the first 3 months, then it passed as quickly as it came.
Try to ignore it - it is just hormones.
