Pregnant and Pissy??!!

by saranwrap21, Jun 23, 2009 03:38PM
Ladies- how do you handle your ever-changing emotions during this time?  I wake up in the morning and can be extremely annoyed, pissy, irritable, etc.  

Does anyone else feel pissy?  I mean, I feel so unmotivated to do ANYTHING.. even taking a shower is a chore!

I just want to be ALONE!!!   But know it's not the best for me..

Pregnancy is an emotional roller coaster.  The hormones are in control now, not you.  I wouldn't get down on yourself about it.  Remember there are ups and downs, you just happen to be in the middle of a major down.  Things will hopefully turn around for you.  And if alone time is what you need, then take it.  But if being with friends helps to cheer you up, then make a date with the ladies and force yourself to go.  Good luck and I hope you feel better soon.

LOL! I think you just described me. Try going to bed earlier, if possible, to get plenty of rest (especially if you have to get up to get ready for work). Drink plenty of water. And, as I have to tell myself, "Don't use my pregnant condition as an excuse to be rude and irritable with everyone". It's HARD but sometimes I can at least wait until I'm home to vent and get annoyed.

So then you can wake up in the morning and be angry about something, but as you go on through the day it won't bother you as much because your mood changes?


That's what happened to me today..  ??

When I was pregnant with my oldest daughter, my husband (thank goodness) didn't take my lunatic behavior too seriously.  In fact, the funny story of that pregnancy is when I saw a spoon in the sink and started crying - - - I mean, the boohoo type of crying.  He started joking and copying my whining, and got me to laugh.  I knew it was ridiculous, but I couldn't control it.

I think he preferred when I was crying than when I was screaming at him.  It should pass after the first trimester, and will probably return towards the end of the pregnancy (which is mostly because you are so uncomfortable and want the baby OUT).  Hang in there.

Yes, it is normal to just be a crank and crabby lady. You should read "Belly Laughs" by Jenny McCarthy. It's hilarious and will make you feel SANE! LOL!

I find myself super moody this pregnancy. My poor poor husband puts up with a lot. I just get so down and want to be alone and doing certain things is a major chore that used to just to be second nature before I got pregnant. Also, I am just more stressed out this time because my son was barely 9 months when I found out I was pregnant again. I am excited and happy, but super scared and nervous. It's normal. We go through so many changes, but like Joy said, we can't use it as an excuse to be that way. We need to recognize when we are moody and do our best to control our emotions.

when i'm angry hormonal, i text the father who hasn't said a word since i told him i was pregnant. it's the perfect outlet for me. he never replies and i get all the ' nasties ' out of my system on someone i think deserves a little of the ****. i've had enough to shoulder without him this pregnancy so it's the least he can do.

To: all
thanks everyone!  I dont feel so weird anymore!  glad to know I'm not alone in these crazy feelings of up and down ..    I too have no motivation to do ANYTHING and it kind of bothers me.. I am inspired by the pregnant women who are working through this!

I dont have a job right now, I need to find one, but GOSH. I can't imagine having to work full time with all of the early first trimester symptoms.   hats off to you!
