Am I missing the crazy hormone gene or do some women milk it

So I'm 24 wks and yes I have a few sooky la la moments or get irritated over stupid **** but I wonder if I'm just lucky or do some women just use the pregnancy hormone myth to get away with being a total brat. Have heard some shockers and a friend was a total ***** while pregnant and treated her hubby like **** and would just say hormones but I'm not so sure now. As I said I get my silly moments where I'll cry for no reason or get a little snappy but never malicious or out of control with being a *****. Not trying to offend anyone either just more curious as to how everyone else's hormones are doing

I feel the same way! I have my moments. I get stressed a times very easily, worked up because of the dogs or something. I am more emotional about myself or TV shows/commercials. At the beginning I was crying constantly though, legit. But I don't feel that I get super crazy, or treat my boyfriend like garbage, or even am more of a b!tch then normal. If anything, I feel more happy, and lovey. I love love LOVE loving on my man and telling him how much I appreciate him for everything even if all he did was pick up his socks, or get undressed somewhere else other then from the door to the living room! My boyfriend is stressed because he is the only one working and it being cruddy weather concrete and roofing is becoming difficult. But he is my world, my everything. If I do freak out or get lippy, we breathe and forget. I apologize or we laugh about it. My man has gotten very good at handling things when it does go a different direction. He's my everything and I never want him to feel unworthy, especially from ME!

I have anxiety, and have struggled with it so extremely up until recently, even before pregnancy. And it seemed a lot more stressful then it has been the last month. He is amazing and so patient. I tell him "come here and tell me I am beautiful and how much you love me!" On the days I feel so ugly. I could never ask for anyone better!

I feel the same way I can't just treat him like crap I feel bad but at the beginning we would fight so much like both of us would be all mad at each other and he would just start drinking and drinking but now I have him with me all day after he gets home we just eat what I cook for him& just lay in bed or go out some were or do some stuff together which for a while it seemed kind of weird having him act like that but now I like the new him I even received flowers lol now that I'm almost due 4 more weeks to go!

like you said, every woman is different but I'm with you. I could never treat my Fiance like crap no matter how Hormonal I feel. maybe I'm being insensitive but I really do feel like some women have an easier time taking their husband for granted and use pregnancy as an excuse to snap. that's just the way I see it because if you really respect your significant other deep down then something should hold you back from being mean to them. I have my off days, but I'll usually tell my fiance when that's happening and apologized and asked him not to take it personal

I'm sure there are people who milk it for everything, but I know I have a bit of the crazy. I am over emotional, I overreact to everything and I stress so easy now. I also have pregnancy brain like crazy, yesterday at work I started going somewhere and forgot where and what I was doing lol
