Hormones in full force! Not loving it & nervous...

[beanlee]

Ah, what can I do to help ease this hormone stuff?! Its driving me nuts. Ill be happy then ill get really mad over nothing and then ill cry because i was mad & worried that Im hurting baby... And thinking about that just makes me sad! Im 20 weeks today. I've been in bed all day so far just trying to keep calm & relax!
Oh and i think hubby is considering taking me into the 'looney bin' haha!!

Thank you! I certainly asked that question jokingly!! But i did get some helpful advice! In my mind, crying it out seems like it would make it worse but i guess a good cry is sometimes just what we need. I am a ftm too so this is all new to me. I rarely ever experienced mood swings plus im trying to learn how to deal with all the changes!! One day at a time, try not to stress, be positive & ask for help when you need it.... some truly great advice i was given :)

You asked " what can I do to help ease this hormone stuff? " ... Unfortunately the only answer I know of its to have your baby. Fluctuating hormones come with the territory....just make plans on how to deal with them (like if I have a breakdown and I'm at work, I'll make an excuse to go to my car to cry it out, that does help) with my first I think it was the worst the second trester, so maybe you can look forward to them getting better soon. Just remember that we all get them from time to time...and they are not for no reason, you're prego. :)  Good luck.

Well im glad im not the only one ill... I yell at everyone one even if its something small, its mostly my baby daddy that gets yelled at lol... I feel like he is aggrivating me on purpose sometimes

Honey its nothing to be to worried about now. I'm sure we can agree being pregnant isn't icecream and puppy dogs all the time. Its after u have the baby u have to be worried with PPD. We will have our ups and downs but they will go back to somewhat normal after u have the baby. I'm a mom of now 4.. three girls (ages 6, 5, and 2) and one little boy who was born on dec 15, 2012. I'm still trying to get my mood swings under control after having my son but I'm doing pretty well and I have a wonderful support group that stands behind me.

I meant to say I cried for the first 3 months

It will get better. I everyday for anything and everything for the first 3 months then it changed to anger all the time and finally I'm foing better. I did get pissed at mu hubby last night because I asked him if I looked pretty and his response " why, did someone say you don't" so I said well you just dont ever say anything nice anymore. His response "you dont ever tell me I look good either" What a f?:++:!.. Oh well, my only advise is if you are angry or super emotional don't ask questions you dont want to get a stupid answer for lol

Ohhh my!!

I have jumped out of my car in a parking lot to yell at the lady who was sitting right behind us so we couldn't get out. That's not me normally.....maybe we should start a post with some of the crazy stuff that we have done due to hormones. That's just one of my stories....maybe we would all get a laugh and ease our stress level.

Crying helps me, i feel much better after.

Ugh!! I took a nice warm shower and now going to do some cooking/baking and watch a movie... Im loving this lazy Sunday :) I go to the doc tomorrow & will ask but i think its just something ill have to deal with one day at a time. I've heard crazy hormone stories & don't want to get to that level!!

[Flickan]

None...but your not alone....
