Arent the emotional moments supposed to subside?

I thought the emotional moments were supposed to dwindle down after the first trimester? I am still very touchy and grumpy. Little things are setting me off and I am totally losing my cool. I seriously need to find a way to cool it before I scare everybody out of my house, meaning my girls and my Fiance'!!!


How do you keep your temper down and patience up during pregnancy? I dont remember being this bad with my first two. Ugh!!!!!

Wow, clear til October? I am sorry. I have until September and I thought that was bad enough. I am anxious. Think of it this way, it will start cooling down your last month of pregnancy. Until then, you can feel sorry for me too while I am feeling bad for you because I am in my last month in August which for us is the hottest month of the year. ugh!!! Lots of dips in the pool at our friends house I think. Lol!!! Good luck to you. And Ill keep you in my thoughts when my temper blows so I can remember I am NOT THE ONLY ONE!!! Remember the same, okay?

I'm in my second trimester now as well, and boy, did I think i had a bad temper BEFORE I got pregnant.

I'm so bad now, I actually scream obscenities out my truck window at stop lights at cars that pissed me off while we were still driving down the road.
And now, since it's getting hotter here in Texas, everyone's got their windows down so the fun part is now they can hear me.
Where as before all they saw was some crazy ***** flipping them of yelling SOMETHING but they didn't hear me.
lolol

My fiancee has learned that when I snap at him, he doesn't say anything and just walks away from me and lets me rant, because he knows I don't mean it, and that it's just the hormones making me moody.
Whereas before he finally learned that from the doctor, all hell would break loose if I snapped at him, and it'd be WWE in our bedroom.
lolol.

And now it's gunna be even worse because I'm due October 10th, which means I'm gunna be pregnant during the SUMMER.
One thing I can't STAND is being hot.
And now I gatta be FAT ontop of being HOT.
lolol.

Ugh.

I dunno how my fiancee puts up with my ******** half the time either, but if someone really loves you, they'll do anything. lol.

Just throw on some video games and give him a beer, he'll shut right the hell up. lolol

WEll, I will just have to remember to try to control my temper as best I can and remind my honey to let me have time to cool off when I am that upset. Thanks ladies. Its just good to know its not just me!!!

Yup, Ours has two sisters that are waiting for him/her. They get yelled at way too much too. I really need to explain to them that part of the reason why is because of being preggers. I havent done that yet. I just keep apologizing, and dont explain why. Duh!! I cant believe I havent explained that to them yet. They are so good about accepting my apologies though and loving and hugging me immediately after. Those poor girls take so much from me sometimes. Never physical, just yelling a lot, but its way too much. Ugh!! It makes me feel horrible.

We have until September before we get to complete our family and I get to gain part of my sanity back. I am so excited to find out in May though, what we are having. Good luck with your sanity, I know I am praying to keep mine for the next 5 1/2 monhts. Lol!!

Good luck to you!!! I know that crying thing. I have those days too, and I can barely talk to my sweety because I get to be such a wreck then I feel like a total azz because I fly off the handle so bad. Then of course it takes time to swallow my pride and apologize for it. *Sighhhhhhh* I think we are so lucky to have the guys we do. A lot of men wont deal with it as well as ours do. :-)

Sometimes you just need to cry it out. That's how I was yesterday. My hubby just let me be, I even ate dinner by myself I felt so bad. lol. Once I was done all my crying, He hugged and kissed me and made me feel better. He is so sweet. Hopefully once I give birth here, It will be much better!

Yah, it really is causing some major issues. I have a temper anyways when I am NOT pregnant, but having one and being pregnant is devistating to us all!!!! I am tired of being mad and feeling like I need to punch something. I think my meltdown yesterday helped though. I finally just cried it out and am doing much better today.

See, thats the thing. I dont get emotional during or before my periods, or at least I never used to. I think that may have changed just before I got preggers though. I remember getting emotional easily for a couple months. Hmmm...the way our bodies change.

Darn it, I still have a little over 5 months to go of this grumpy green monster? I know the feeling of how they put up with us though. Mine has finally gotten to the point that he doesnt take as much though. We argue, then make up, and all is good, but I am sooo tired of arguing. We do it too often and I totally lose it. I had a total melt down yesterday and was stressed out and crying and I didnt know why. He asked me what was wrong and I told him I would tell him if I knew why. The weird thing is he just got off medical leave from a back surgery a while back and has had a hard time finding work, but finally got a job yesterday so I should have been excited and happy and less stressed, but it took me a good 3 or 4 hours to get passed being stressed out about everything to realize I was supposed to be happy and less stressed. Ugh!!! Yep Yep, the joys of pregnancy!!! Lol!!!

I am 36 weeks and yesterday I had a melt down. I am still suprised that my husband puts up with me! I am horrible at times. I was crying all day and was upset at him for really no good reason. I eventually snap out of it and realize how horrible I am being and that it's not very healthy. I always feel so bad and have to humble myself and ask for forgiveness. =) I think being emotional is all a part of pregnancy, but we need to learn to control them just like when we had our periods, I struggled to not let my emotions get the best of me. Oh the joys of pregnancy!!! lol.
