Anyone feeling needier than usual?

It's really starting to bug me ... because I don't like feeling this way. It's like I'm watching a movie from the outside -- I know what I'm doing/saying/feeling ... but I can't help it sometimes!  I just feel much needier of DH than usual. =

Anyone else in the same boat? Any remedies? LOL

    I feel the same way sometimes. It suck cause he works nights so I am home alone until 7am and sometimes sit here feeling lonely and sorry for myself. I just try to find things to occupy me. I saved my grocery shopping today for nighttime so that entertained me for awhile anf I went to Barnes and Noble to browse books...

    Oh girl.... I just had a huge crying fit about a half hour ago. My baby shower was today, so I'm sitting in a living room FULL of stuff (like, can't even walk around). I've been waiting for FI to get back from work so we can go through everything, and I was SO excited.

    He just called to say that they are forcing him to work a double tonight (he works at a prison) and he won't be home. He also works tomorrow.

    Crying commensed. I was a hormonal mess. lol.

    I too am feeling this way these days.  I had my most hormonal meltdown to date on my hubby last night.  We had dinner with friends and I thought I would tough it out for a couple of hours so he could have drinks with friends for once.  While enjoying my ninth glass of water, it hit me that I needed to go home immediately!  My body ached, I was suddenly exhausted, and I was so sick of being the sober girl while everyone else was buzzed up and annoying.  After 20 minutes of trying to get him out of the restaurant, I unleashed on him in the car.  I felt like he wasn't paying attention to my needs.  Felt a little selfish this morning, but he said he understands it's the hormones.  You are not alone!

    You're definitely not the only one. My husband has to travel frequently on business and some days I just want to cry because all I need is a hug and someone to listen to me.

    I am SO relieved to know I am not alone! I am in no way a "feeling sorry for myself" sort of person. I have been the past couple of weeks. I am more uncomfortable than ever (I have to wonder what I will be like in 10-12 weeks and I am not really even that big yet). I have second degree sunburn on my legs from 30 minutes in the sun a week and a half ago (yes, only 30 minutes) and I have major swelling in my feet and ankles, but show no sign of preeclampsia or anything. I cried like a big ol baby yesterday in my own pity. Today I woke up with a cold.

    I actually felt better today than yesterday. I am a very independent person so I am like c'mon snap out of it. It bugs me that I am like this!  

    I just need to cowgirl up. DH is being so good though!

    Glad I'm not alone, lmao.  I just told DH, and he's like, "It's okay, you're allowed."

    Gee, thanks. ;D  I feel better having told him, tho, so hopefully he won't be all like, "WTF, crazy pregnant lady?!"

    Yeah I figured this would happen so I told DH before and he kinda thought it was natural to be this way. It is still tough to witness sometimes (even though its nice to have DH be so great to me) dont feel bad.
