hormones getting the best of me

Mattsprincess2 · January 2009

So, we recently moved to a very small town from the suburbs of Chicago. My husband took a new job and we got pregnant the week we moved into our temporary rental. I had a root canal that same week that I got pregnant and it was doing great but now has suddenly flaired up and there saying I might need it extracted. Our house hunting is becoming sooo frustrating as the inventory in this town is awful and the house we fell in love with the sellers have priced way too high and won't go down much at all, so tonight we "let it go" I have zero interest in being intimate with my husband, who is a great man. And every little thing he does recently is driving me crazy...I thought this was a time for us to be in bliss and so happy to be welcoming a little baby in the summer. Now all I can think of it not having a house to close on yet, a bothersome tooth and a relationship that I feel is falling apart fo no reason at all. I don't know if it's hormones or what but I feel like I'm going to have a nervous breakdown, I am crying, depressed and sometimes even short of breath. I'm tired and find myself being so unmotivated at anything right now. I know depression can hit you when your pregnant due to a change in hormones, but wow I don't know how to get out of this slump. I want to be happy and look forward to this baby and focus on us as a family. Any suggestions?

I'm sorry. Do you have anybody in the town that you can talk to? Seeking a professional to talk to isn't always a bad idea. It's great having somebody with no connection to your situation that's job is to just listen to you *** and moan. (I love my therapist)

Definitely hormones. You poor thing. Don't worry shortness of breath is somewhat common and so is hating your husband in spurts. Sometimes just the way DH laughs makes me want to punch him out lately.

I am so sorry you are feeling like that... chances are it is hormones, do yourself a favor and take it easy and don't think about everything at once, try to remember you are creating a miracle ... give your self a break and take a deep breath. ?These feelings will pass. ?My first couple of weeks I felt sad and scared, and it passed in time.

I'm so sorry. It's definitely the hormones. The fairy tale of this being such a happy, blissful time is exactly that...a fairy tale.

It's frustrating at times and I know how you feel. We're moving soon too but we have so many renovations to do that I wonder how we'll do it all in time! And here lately, I've wanted to get violent with DH when he breathes the wrong way. It's all part of it!

That sucks that you're feeling so bad. I'm sure the hormones are driving a lot of this. You're going through some huge changes, physically, mentally and emotionally! So give yourself a break (and your DH). When my husband and I go through rough times, we just keep remembering that nothing has killed us, broken us up or put us in the poor house, yet. We're always here for a good vent if you need!

you have alot on your plate, try to relax and get everything of your mind things will kinda work themselves out, but you need to worry about you n baby just breath n relax

It's the hormones and the stress of everything your have going on right now. It's not just you, DH and I have been at each other's throats for a few weeks now. I'd tell you to relax, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet Wink
