Third trimester hormones

ashes0601

anyone else experiencing the third trimester hormones? The past 2 days I've been emotional, the second trimester I was as happy as a clam... Had my first sad cry over people RSVPing they're not able to come to my baby shower... Haven't had a sad cry since the beginning of my pregnancy

I had to leave work early on Monday because I got irrationally mad about something and could not stop crying. I am normally not a crier in the least. It was ridiculous.

Oh mine are ridiculous, this is baby three and they're the worst I've ever had!!?? Crying over the stupidest things. Balled my eyes out watching the tinkerbell film with my dd. November needs to hurry up before I cry this town a new river (

I've been right on the verge of a breakdown for the last 3 days. When I do really go off, I know it will be over the smallest thing. I was crying last night because there's some scheduling conflict regarding our fantasy football draft day. Don't even ask.

Woke my husband up with my crying last night, he was worried about me until I explained I was crying because I couldn't sleep and because the zit on my face hurt. As I said it out loud I started laughing at myself for being ridiculous, then fell right asleep, it only took 4 hours...

I'm so glad this thread exists! I'm a FTM and I had no idea the crying would be so intense in trimester 3. I just finished crying because I locked my keys in my car in the garage. I was sobbing uncontrollably until the husband reminded me we have a spare key readily available...

That movie made me cry too.

In the 1st trimester, I was an absolute disaster. Teen angst status. The 2nd trimester was wonderful; I was still emotional but I would exclusively cry about weddings and babies. Now that I have hit the 3rd trimester, I feel like I'm being sucked into a vortex of misery and anger. I can't tell if I'm pissed off, sad, lonely, hungry or tired. It's like I'm everything negative PLUS I'm fat.

I'm fine during the day, but once evening comes I'm crying so much. The most annoying thing is I don't know why? Then I get more upset because my husband isn't paying me enough attention and just says "is it your hormones?". Grrrrrr!!! By the morning I feel so stupid! I'd rather have my nausea and fatigue back, at least I was rational then.

trampledbykiddos

Yep, I'm a mess. My husband hides from me a lot.

I'm a train wreck. I cry over anything and everything!

@vexedmommy I'm buying the box set hahaha it can be my new "notebook"!!

I'd love the ridiculous sad crying from trimester 1 back... I've now started irrationally rage-crying. So my husband will be trying to comfort me and I'm still mad (about nothing) so him being all nice just makes me more mad. I'm a crazy person. Come back, 2nd trimester (relative) calmness!

WTF is this? It happens to me ALL the time.

This happens to me too! It's even worse when I'm actually mad but start crying instead of being able to explain why I'm angry. I'm pretty sure I just seem like a psychopath most of the time.

I cry about anything and everything. Usually though, there's a deeper reason that I can identify than what it seems like. For example, the other day I cried my eyes out when my husband had said we were going to go run an errand and exchange a pair of his shorts, but then when it was time to go he didn't want to. Which to him I'm sure seemed totally ridiculous. But I was crying more about the fact that I haven't seen him much lately (he works 6 PM to 6 AM at the moment, and I'm nannying 6 AM to 6 PM) and so I thought I was actually going to get to spend an hour with him but he wanted to sleep instead.

But I've also had plenty of downright ridiculous cries, too.

I never had any crazy hormone changes until the last two weeks or so, and no tears yet, but I get soo pissed off at the dumbest things. Luckily when I'm mad, I just get quiet, but my poor fiance has had to deal with me and my mood swings.. I told him just yesterday I want to get a sticker for my belly that says "I'm pregnant. f*ck off and get out of my way"... I gotta get him a nice gift soon haha

VexedMommy

I may have just flipped my shit at bf for buying chocolate ice cream (which i hate) instead of vanilla or basically any other flavour. And having nothing sweet in our house while we watched Master Chef. I started crying then raging then crying and finally just put myself into time out in the room.

rox7777

I just want to stab people.

rubirubi89

I cried myself to sleep for two days because I dont think the baby's room will be finished before he gets here. I sobbed to my husband about how it was always my dream to bring my son home and lay him on his crib in his own room

grapesoda1111

I get irrationally angry at my pup. I feel so bad afterwards, and it rarely happens, but it's like I just can't control it!

I didn't know about 3rd tri hormones making you all ragey/cry-y.  That would explain some things.... (even though I technically have almost a week left in the 2nd tri, but I'll count it b/c I'm definitely doing the rage/cry thing)

Don't get me wrong, my DH is being a huge asshole and deserves me being angry with him, but I've raged so hard at him multiple times in the last few days, and every time I rage I want to 1) cry, then 2) eat.

chriscotton

I haven't had any crying yet but I get irrationally jealous all the time now! I don't know if it's bc I feel huge and gross or what but I hate it! I have no reason to think DH would ever leave me or mess around but for some reason I have jealousy like crazy!

hacharles

I was little crazy in the first tri but mostly level since. However, the whole process of picking a name for our child is about to send me over the emotional edge. Which I know is somewhat ridiculous because there is still time. Baby step forward, two leaps back.

Most of the time when I start going crazy, it stems from being hangry. Or tangry (tired and angry)... Heck. Then there's the thangry (tired, hungry, and angry). Seems to happen a lot with someone else eating my food and stealing my energy.

Ceb2015

I'm normally a crier, even when not pregnant, so the crying hasn't been much different for me. The thing that has gotten me the most is the increase in rage and how snappy I can be at my poor husband! I specifically get angry when we are driving. I got angry last weekend because someone had a black car with black headlights, and I was mad because I felt it was unsafe even though it was during the daytime...

hbrummett10

I'm just bleh --- like most of the time. I don't work in an office setting, but do 2-4 day conferences/workshops where I'm around people breakfast-dinner. I can usually be engaging and at least act interested in what others are saying, but several people have told me that I seem "out of it."

Not to mention the bitch fits my poor husband endures. Holy moly! It's just so hard to stop once I start spewing! I scare myself!

Sounds like legit scientific terminology, right there. Im usually thangry!

Also, I'm pretty sure my husband is more hormonal that I am today... poor guy is stressed and with me feeling like crap all week has made things terrible for him.

I haven't been that jealous in real life, but this week, I had dreams two nights in a row that MH was cheating. We haven't had sex since right around the middle of the pregnancy (I'm now 27 weeks), so I'm thinking maybe I was feeling insecure and disconnected. My having a baby inside of me totally freaks him out, esp as the bump grows, but I'm thinking we need to get it on ASAP so maybe I can feel better!

katiedhunter

I'm super emotional crying at the slightest thing, smelling my freshly bathed children as we cuddled on the couch last night made me cry, watching them drift into sleep while I hold them. And then the rage I've felt lately is crazy. At the stupidest things.

seelwood

I haven't had a good cry yet, but I have become extra sassy and lost all patience for just about everyone...
I think in addition to twattwaffle Tuesday we should have Throat punch Thursday lol....

ashes0601

Almost cried over my laundry not being dry today...

shelbyarnett

This started setting in around 25 weeks for me. So glad to see I'm not the only one who's glowing, happy 2nd trimester self seems a thing of the past! Yesterday, my husband was buying a cigar so I was standing next to him, and someone walked by the store and said "oh that's nice, a pregnant lady in a smoke shop." (There was no one smoking at all inside, and obviously I'm not going to stand next to my husband when he smokes it and suck in all the smoke) and I got so mad and sad simultaneously I almost had a rage fit on strangers.

thegingeravenger

I've probably killed and buried at least five people in my head over the past three weeks. Complete with giving myself an alibi. I was so pissed off after work yesterday I almost punched a wall. I get so angry - just call me the hulk.

Lol, whenever my 6 yo niece gets pissed off, she yells, "Hulk SMASH!" It's adorable and hilarious.

lindenmr

So much for no tears.. I just cried telling my fiance that I couldn't even put my brand new tennis shoes on last night because my ankles were so swollen it looked like baby whales for feet.. he laughed at me and so I laughed.. while crying
Hot. Mess. Express.

My husband and I are traveling from MI to KY next weekend for a wedding. There is a pasta place in KY that is amazing and I haven't eaten there in over a year. I planned it so we would get to eat two meals there during our stay. Today at work I went to browse the menu and pick what I might order. Come to find out - they're closed for good! I had to fight back tears because I can't handle having to explain to coworkers that I'm literally crying over pasta. 

AmyReneT

totally almost cried the other night because I asked my DH to go get me a CHOCOLATE shake with oreos and he came back with vanilla. I have barely asked him for any type of trip to get me anything I've craved so when I finally did and he came back with the wrong thing I started fuming. He offered to go back and I said no but I really just wanted him to go back without me TELLING him to go back so that was stupid... lol that right there is a definition "crazy woman thing" haha! I had to rationalize with myself that I couldn't cry over a damn milkshake.

apritch88

I cried because: 

"I feel like a bad mom, a bad wife, I hate feeling like shit all the time, but mostly I'm just sick of peeing my pants"

This was after a particularly rough bedtime with our toddler who apparently doesn't require sleep to function anymore, and a particularly nauseous day where DH had to make dinner AGAIN (that's about 5 months in a row now....). 

But mostly, I'm just sick of peeing my pants.

Seriously just spent a solid 5 minutes dreaming up some 20/20 style ways of killing DH.  I nearly tore his head clean off after he "joked" with me and took it a bit too far.  He had the audacity to repeatedly poke at my staying in bed for an extra 15 minutes at 6:30 this morning (my department was asked to work remote today as IT moves us) and acted like I spent the entire day doing nothing.  Ummm... I worked a full day (actually a couple of hours longer than usual since I had no commute), took the working remote opportunity to do the laundry, went out of my way to pick up DH's meds from the pharmacy, cooked both him and DS dinner and then got back online for another hour to put in some overtime.  How about back the F off man!  Repeated questioning of how I spent my morning/day combined with my insane 3rd trimester hormones is NOT going to end well for you.  

ETA - I'm sure all DH can think is...
