| Ok, so I'm early on but I'm wondering if this is normal. I am getting so angry at the moment, over little things!!! I need to bite my tongue a LOT. I also had moments of thinking why the heck I'm doing this, why am I getting married, etc. It's so not like me so I'm putting it down to hormones, but I just want to know - is it actually normal??? Especially because I love my DF and want to marry him with all my heart!!! And it's darned scary feeling like that. |

All normal stuff chick. I was very teary when I first fell. DH wore alot of the brunt with my mood swings. Still have them but they seemed to calm down in the second trimester. Feeling crook doesn't help either. Lots going on in that body of yours.
Wedding stress wont help so try to keep that to a minimum if that's actually possible. ------------- http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wyI1oWn/">

Yup very normal lol. I was a crazy person in the first 7 weeks with Caden and this pregnancy. My poor DF got an earful over every little thing, and I felt awful about it cos I do love him to bits.
I didnt even want him touching me at all, no hugs, no kisses no nothing lol. Im getting better now, and im not so angry at things, but the frirst 12 weeks are hard and hormones go mental! ------------- |

Wedding stress to a minimum - hrmmm...I'll try but I don't like my chances!!!
That's very much like it Sheena - I didn't want him touching me, it was like he disgusted me. When I know that I don't feel like that normally!! And he made a noise about a thread I was looking at on TM, and woah, the claws came out. Please tell me it doesn't last too long???? |

It lasts til the kids move out  just kidding , my wrath seemed to go at about week 8 , but before, my gosh , DF still refers to it as the time "you acted like an escaped psychiatric patient and I very nearly left you " .
...we try not to mention that horrible time -------------

DF says to me "stop being silly". I can pretty much guarantee that is the WORST thing you can say to a hormonal pregnant woman, it just makes her worse

| Yeah, sometimes I feel sorry for my DH when I have my mood swings (yep, still get em occasionally now, in the third trimester!), but sometimes he doesn't help himself when he says something he knows will antagonise me! The "stop being silly" definitely won't help! |

Nope, the worst thing they can say is "Stop being so hormonal"!! I think I actually took a swing at him that time. Poor man. He's been so so patient and understanding.
A work colleague was giving me jip about being grumpy one night when we were away on conference. She wouldn't let up so I snapped at her and she said VERY loudly "oooooooo, someone's hormonal oooooooooo". You can imagine what I said to her (can't post as the language is not nice). My boss tried to make me apologize so she wore my wrath too. They don't call me hormonal anymore. ------------- http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wyI1oWn/">

Oh so normal lol! DH said I was a 'psycho b*tch' when I was pg with #1, and no doubt he'll say I was this time too, but he wouldn't dare say it while I'm living it!
I found little things ticked me off too, like I couldn't be annoyed at something without someone commenting on me being hormonal, which made me hormonal, and thus I gave them a right telling! |

I had irrational anger as well. I went to pick berries on Xmas eve and a little old lady had parked her car funny so that I couldn't get into the spot I wanted and had to park like a whole 3 spots farther down.
I started screaming and swearing in my car at her (she couldn't see me, but if she had, she would have thought I was losing it!!) ------------- http://tickers.cafemom.com">

It doesn't go away all together either. Last night Dh and I disagreed over who put the green flannel sheet on the dogs bed (gift from MIL). I couldn't remember doing it and he said it wasn't him so I wound up in tears in the bedroom over an ugly green sheet that had been used for the dogs bed for at least 6 months. Thinking back, it was me that put it there but that wasn't the point at the time. The point was that he flatly refused to take the blame for it and I thought that he should have. Weird, I know. Seemed important last night though.
Lucky he knew what was up and came into the bedroom. He gave me a big hug and started tickling me while making jokes about wrapping me up in a big green dog sheet. Sounds weird but it was funny at the time. ------------- http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wyI1oWn/">

| I've been a right stroppy mare. Took us both a little while to properly realise why (which prob sounds daft). He is now displaying endless patience and I so appreciate that. |

Minik8e, I found the last few weeks leading up to our wedding very full on, can't imagine what it would be like to be preggo as well! I am generally pretty impatient, but the first 12 weeks I was horrid - it was like really bad PMT! Angry, snappy, over reacting to everything. I had one particualrly bad day when I was stuck in bad traffic, yelled at DH on the phone and cried coz it was taking so long, got to where I was going, couldn't find a park, cried some more, finally parked and there were a couple of tourists marvelling at the text-to-park parking machines... I got so annoyed with them, and was like "are you going to use these or not?!" really aggressively... would never normally do that!!
I think I am better now...  ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

OOooh Kate I'm so glad you brought this topic up! I'm definately a lot more hormonal and HATE putting it down to being pg...although I guess that's what it is! Sorry, thread highjack over...... -------------   http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

. Mind you it has also been the school holidays, which are long and dire for most mums I think.....and he is a child who expects to be entertained 24/7...pity he got stuck with a foster mum who entertains herself quite happily and loves doing quiet things.....lol isn't life ironic sometimes. Maybe we're both here to learn something from each other?
