Mood Swings

I'm 8 weeks pregnant, and my mood swings are absolute craziness! I know my husband has to be ready to kill me by now, because it's not so much of the crying thing (although that does happen), I'm just so irritable and mean! Does anyone know when or if this fades away? In my 1st pregnancy I didn't have this so much at all. I don't even notice I'm doing it until I see my husband's face after I've said something not nice, then hours later, when I'm over the fact that he gave me a weird look, I realize I was being moody. Dh is super understanding and loving to me, it just makes me feel bad that I'm being mean without immediately noticing it.

I know :( my poor dh yesterday said he was going to give me the whole afternoon to myself and he was going to do all the errands, so he didn't have to face "the wrath". How sad is that?! I've been reading up on it in books and online, and everything points to this getting better in the 2nd trimester, so that's good news. Only 4 1/2 weeks to go!!!!

I'm am going thru the same thing!! My husband is such a sweetheart and all i do is bite his head off. He knows its not me..i'm not usually like this, but it doesn't help much. The poor thing just tries not to say much so it won't give me any reason to be upset. Will this go away or will i be like this til the end??

Thanks ladies :) I guess anybody can handle anything as long as it's temporary. Let's hope for a more tranquil 2nd trimester!

my dh says i am more aggressive towards him this pregnancy, (not physically but verbally) seem to recall i was with my 2 boys also, maybe it's another boy then and due to increased testosterone i am more fiesty, honestly can't remember with my dd, but i was working full time then so poss didn't have chance to be aggressive haha.
it may get better, may not but hey ho 7 months to go and by the end you'll be so tired you won't have the energy for anything!
