Is it just me? Is it normal?

My estimated due date is the Sept 10, I have not had morning sickness but do get really nauseous. I usually can't bring myself to eat anything till early evening, and even then its only if I see food. Cause even thinking about what to eat makes me nauseous :( Has anyone else experienced mood swings? I feel like I'm way more emotional and easily irritated, my husband doesn't make it any better. He keeps telling me I'm overdoing it and that drives me nuts!!! I just want him to listen to me complain about everything I've seen or read, that I don't agree with. Yes I get excited, and yes I raise my voice. But in my family we get very passionate in conversation so what others consider yelling, I consider talking with emotion lol. But when he tells me to calm down I get so defensive, like he's calling me silly for even caring so much about something that doesn't affect me! And he's right, it is silly. But damit don't make me feel stupid, just let me complain for no reason I'm not hurting anyone... And then I always end up crying.... This doesn't feel normal, I've always been sensitive but this feels magnified. Please tell me I'm not the only one?!?!? Lol, sorry I went off on a little rant there... I'm 7weeks and first time expecting :)

I have the same issues. This is only my second pregnancy and my husbands sixth and he still has a hard time with my moodiness compared to his ex wifes. Just take it one day at a time :). As for the nausea I have that also. For a few weeks I couldnt keep anything down. Then for another few its been hard to even think about eating. I talked to my doc and they gave me zofran it helped for a few days and then stopped. Now I find out its heart burn so im on zantac. Just like it was said above just push fluids as much as you can its no fun dealing with dehydration. Good luck. And sorry your going through this definitely not fun :/

It's normal. Everything is normal. I didn't have morning sickness with my 2nd but was nauseated and wasps able to eat something sometimes in this first trimester. With my other pregnancies I had severe hg and always threw up and couldn't eat till the second trimester.

Your husband should listen more than speak but he too is new to it all. I say this from experience because mine was the same way and it took a few pregnancies for him to realize how difficult changes can affect an expecting Mom. Hopefully yours catches on sooner than later.

For the most part listen to your body and take que so if you need to rest do so if possible. Of all stay hydrated even if you can't eat. Dehydration will land you in the hospital and increase your chances of miscarriage. Good luck to you, Mama!
