Pregnancy is alot like PMS

[Amy1830]

Does anyone else seem to be experiencing extreme moodiness at only 5 weeks along? I feel like I have PMS x 100. Especially towards my fiancé. I am so easily irritated and almost depressed. I am not like this normally. It's horrible. I hope I don't feel this way the whole time I'm pregnant!

My husband told me he was tired of my mood swings and I told him deal with it.. I didnt get pregnant my self...your mood swings will get better.

Ha...yes!!! I'm 11 weeks and feel evil!! Everything makes me either mad or make a me cry, or I get mad and feel bad and cry later lol. my husband thinks I'm the Spaun of the devil!!!

Oh thank God I'm not alone in this! Not that I wish it on any of you. But it makes me feel better that it's not just me! All day today and the last few days I've been thinking about how this annoys me and this pisses me off and this makes me sad and I've been holding it all in for the most part. But I felt like I was gonna blow and I was afraid of what I was gonna say because I felt like I had no control over it! Then when my fiancé came home we went to dinner and I feel perfectly happy and great now. But I know tomorrow something's going to set me off again... Lol maybe you're right I should go get a massage and try to relax. My puppy makes me feel better too. Or maybe I do need Antidepressant. I guess time will tell. It's still so early. I just hope this doesn't continue for the whole time!  I'm sure my fiancé is thinking the same thing.

I've been up and down like that the entire pregnancy.  I've experienced the same problems, leading to severe depression, from all oral contraceptives, so I had an idea on how to handle myself and the extremely irrational thoughts.  It's perfectly normal, hormones are bastards. I compare pregnancy to short cycling bipolar, lol.  When I found out I was pregnant, I discussed it a lot with my honey, who was aware of problems I'd had with birth control (funny thing I was on a six month waiting list for a gyno to give me a copper IUD), and he's usually the person who can cheer me up.  
Things that helped: Exercise!!! Even if it's just riding your bike to your appointment...keeping myself busy,like baking the things I craved.  I also felt better when I got a high quality prenatal vitamin, and an iron supplement because I had an aversion to meat and dairy.

Yes I just went thru that at 11 weeks. It was horrible. My Dr actually gave me an anti depressant. What helped me was talking about it to friends and family and get out and do something for yourself even if it's only a pedicure or massage. It will help! And tell your fiance you are sorry that it will pass but to bear with you. I cried over everything... there were to many leaves in my yard, the store was out of my favorite ice cream... It was stupid. I was moody and irritable and it sucked! Take the weekend to relax and do something you enjoy and it will pass soon. If it doesn't call your dr and see what they say.

OMG! So glad I am not the only one! I am 14 w 3 d and my 12 year old sassy daughter is on my last nerve 24/7. Ugh! I feel horrible she just argues everything and talks back and I am constantly punishing her. Then my hubby comes home and I take it out on him. Ugh!
