Grrrrr

I'm currently 6 weeks pregnant (planned pregnancy) it's my second child but my partners first, and since I'm pregnant I feel so stressed and angry towards my partner! We were both really happy to find out we were expecting although it did happen a lot sooner than we expected. But lately I get so annoyed by him, every little thing he does irritates me and I know I snap at him sometimes for no reason. I don't even want him to touch me, even for a cuddle or a kiss goodbye and it's making me question whether I have made a big mistake. I just feel very confused and I don't know if it's just the hormones sending me a bit crazy!! Has anybody felt this way during pregnancy? I don't want to ruin this exciting time for us but I just find him so annoying!! I find myself comparing him to other men and wondering what things would be like if I was with somebody else. Feel so bad writing this but I'm just trying to make sense of what's going on in my head

Yup. Pregnancy turns me into the Crazy Angry Woman from Hell. Best thing you can do is explain exactly how you're feeling, tell him it's not his fault and you're trying to control it but you're really sorry if you're sometimes not very nice. It's hormones, it'll pass, but do make sure he's taking good care of you - being pregnant is very tough and he needs to be aware of that and what you're going through to bring his baby into the world.

It could be hormones, but they could also be telling you something.
Has he done anything to make you upset, now or in the past?
Things can come flooding back that you thought you'd gotten over during pregnancy.

You are not alone and it is not unusual. I am currently 29 weeks pregnancy with DC2 and very stabsy. I was the same when pregnantt with our DD. My DH says no more babies after this one! The hormones can make you crazy so be kind to yourself and during your nicer moments try to explain to him that it really is not his fault and that you do love him.

Thanks for the replies, no he hasn't done anything major in the past - he's a nice guy but just has a lot of irritating habits that make it a bit hard to live with him sometimes! I always tell him if something bothers me and to be fair he does try to stop but I've just got to the point where I feel like I only see his flaws and I don't know how to get out of that mindset! Will try and talk to him tonight and see if that resolves things a bit

I could have written this! I found DH sooooo irritating when I was pregnant. Sometimes I would look at him and feel such contempt and disgust it was unbelievable. I once woke him up in the night to tell him he was fat!! Pregnancy turned me in to such a horrible person! (Not saying you are a horrible person!)

This happen during both pregnancies. The youngest is not 4 months and I adore DH and love him to bit. It was just the mental pregnancy hormones.

Haha that's ok cheese I'm pretty sure I am being horrible on a daily basis! But we've just had a blazing row good chat and I think he's actually taken on board how I'm feeling and that I don't mean a lot of the things I say! And he's now gone to get us food so he's learning fast
