Hormone Rampage!

phq2011

Okay so we all have some crazy hormones raging. I feel so bad because stuff that wouldn't usually set me off, does. I feel so bad for DH because he feels like he gets his head bit off a lot (which he kinda does). I feel so horrible about it because it is usually about dumb stuff or not even related to him. Is there anything you ladies do to keep the hormone monster in check? Also, is there any way I can explain to him this is not normal rampage.

I have had the same issues I feel terrible and I know he gets upset with me, but it's so hard to control.  I have tried to count to ten, but it's difficult.  I told him he should read some of the books I have, including one for fathers.  Hoping it gets better in the 2nd trimester!

"You need to know that my hormones are going crazy right now. I need some time (and some chocolate). Just give me a little space please." I keep meaning to take a hot bath because it just sounds like it would help, but I don't have the energy to draw it. Honestly, if I asked my hubby to do it for me, he probably would. (And he'd do a better job of it than I would!) I hate the hormones. There really isn't anything in the male world that compares. Does a man EVER feel like he needs to cry, scream, laugh, eat, vomit, sleep, and run at the same time? Or is that just a female experience?

I'm pretty shocked at some of the things that have come out of my mouth towards my fianc?. I do find myself apologizing to him a lot, not that he even gets mad at me, he is very understanding. I cry a lot too. I have felt so horrible with all these symptoms that I feel like I've pushed him away and I miss him at the same time. I am not a fan of being a female right now.

I try to do little things like watch awful shows I know he likes and always point out nice things he does and make sure he knows how much I appreciate him.  I also try to point these things out in front of other people to build him up and reinforce how much I appreciate him.  I remind him often that I'm not myself...and he knows that this thing is a monster that  spends most of the day trying not to vomit

Omg....I am a hormonal, emotional crazy woman...at least I feel that way! I am trying to think before I speak which has helped a lot...my DH is pretty understanding but I know he hates this part of pregnancy. I am 5.5 weeks with our 2nd and this pregnancy has already shown to be a lot harder... More emotional, tired and starting to feel nauseated! Reading the boards do help me realize I am not the only one feeling this way. Good luck to y'all

Hahaha!  I was awful for a couple weeks, now I 'think' I'm a little better.  We mostly just laugh at how much I'm burping and how disgusting I am.  But, it will flare up out of nowhere occasionally.  I almost killed my husband this past weekend.  I threw a fit over something, and then when he had to leave for the day I almost cried because I missed him (well, I did cry).  This is such a clusterF.

 I think they know we're not normal.  They know psycho when they see it.  I just hope my intense missing him and wanting to cuddle makes up for the occasional monster outbursts.
