Hormonal Raging Beast

babyglo350

Hello again lovely mommies! I am having a major issue and just looking for some support. For the past 10 days I have been a miserable, mean beast to DH. He is doing the best he can but it's never enough. I am totally aware of how nasty I am but in the heat of the moment I have no control. I blame him for how ugly and fat and uncomfortable I am, knowing full well how ridiculous I sound. I feel miserable and in turn it makes me feel guilty for not loving this amazing time. I already love my little peanut but I don't love the way I feel. I want to be that glowing, radiant mommy to be but I'm not and makes me sad. This is my first, I am 5 w 1 d. Will this weepy/ mean streak ever go away?!? ( sorry for the sob story)

Try to find a way to relax and destress. It's going to be even worse in these first few weeks because of all the initial hormone changes, try to remember that and not take it out on others. I try to keep my mouth shut as much as possible these days unless I have something nice to say. Also, I know this is your first, and this is not intended to be mean in any way, but try not to think of yourself as fat at only 5 weeks, it's going to get worse, much worse. Right now it's only a little bit of bloat, soon enough you'll have to push the car seat back to get your stomach far enough away from the dashboard/steering wheel.

I agree with pp, just try and relax. DH knows that when I suddenly go to the gym to just let me be. Working out has really helped me calm down when I get really emotional.

I have no advice but I feel the same way. To be honest, I have been a complete bitch to anyone that annoys me, which lately has been a lot of people. Then I feel really bad about it. It is the hormones and if it's anything like my last pregnancy, I will be back to myself In a few weeks. My husband told me he knew I was pregnant before I did because I was being mean. He said he didn't even argue with me because he knew its because I am pregnant.. Sure enough I got my bfp the next morning.

I have been looking into prenatal yoga. I think it will help me cope and exhibit some self control. I'm so used to being independent and in complete control of myself and my surroundings but now I feel like my body doesn't belong to me. Thank you so much for taking a moment to be supportive. There a few crazies on this site but for the most you guys are awesome.
