extremely moody?!

I kind feel bad for my fiance.. lol. Wtf. Anyone else reallyyyyy moody? Like I just snap for no reason and it doesn't take much to set me off on a bitching spree. I'm 6 weeks, first baby :-)

... I've been moody for like a week but I feel like its getting worse! Not to mention the fact that I quit smoking when I found out I was preg... the combination has my moods all over the place! Ugh! Hope I'm not like this thru my whole pregnancy!

I take cymbalta for anxiety which helps my mood swings to.  You take a pregnant girl without her cymbalta and you have a very scary roller coaster of emotions.  You are not alone in the moodiness.  I feel horrible for my husband when I realize what I am doing or have done.

I'm sure it's mostly the not smoking anymore that has you so moody. The nicotine withdrawals will do that. But it should get better if not completely go away by at least a month if not sooner. Plus pregnancy hormones on top of that! Which (sadly) didn't get any better for me. I still have my mood swings and random outbursts. Lol And I'm 33 weeks. Just find something that helps calm you. And remember it's the pregnancy and lack of nicotine..not you! :) Good luck!

Be prepared it will come and go. I've been this way all weekend... snapping at my 2 year old, yelling at my husband or the dogs! Whoever happens to get it first!

I honestly feel like I'm dealing with pms during this pregnancy- I don't remember how bad it was with my first but it certainly got a little out of hand with this one... I definately hear you and I didn't have quitting smoking to deal with on top of that-- my hubby and I had some bad fights  that in hind sight I can see were either inspired by or exagerated by my hormones and feeling so tired... bad combo :( I've been doing much better with moodiness lately and I am now 32 weeks.  It was for sure the worst at the beginning- I am so impressed you quit smoking! Good for you! You are obviously very strong!!

I feel you future mom my :-) my hubs has been so patient with my outbursts, for that I know he'll be an even better father to our little one. I quit smoking as well from beginning, am now 23w 4d...rough going, but be proud of yourself for finding the strength to quit. Your moods will even out and you'll feel better in no time!
