This could be a weird question, but...

Please someone tell me that they sometimes feel this way:

I seriously cannot be away from DH. It's weird. I'm not normally all clingy and crazy wife-esque, but lately I just can't seem to stay away from him. During the work day everything is fine, but when I think about weekends apart or anything I spaz out.

He has to go out of town for 4 days next month, and I freaking out about it.

Anyone else go through this, or feel like this? I know it's probably hormones, but I just want to know that I'm not alone in my crazy world.

TIA!

Yes, I have been going through that lately. My friend (who had her baby last year) told me she went through that phase when she was pregnant.

I was away from DH for almost the entire month of october. He went away last weekend to chaperone a junior high retreat and i was petrified. I have developed anxiety in this pregnancy and I think that has to do with it. But I survived.

Thanks so much for the responses! I really appreciate it. It's nice to know that you're not alone when you're feeling crazy.

I like him to be home. I'm not usually SO bad about it, but Iast night, he had plans to go out, but I had to do TWO at home enemas and I was miserable and I was super pissed that he wasn't there with me. I like company

I'm not a good loner.

My DH is leaving for a month next month. This is the longest we'll have ever been away from eachother since we've been married. I'm not showing him how upset I am that he is leaving (because it makes him feel bad) but I HATE it.

And the fact that by the time he comes back I'll be as big as a house doesn't make me feel any better.

No help here, I'm actually the opposite! I never wanted DH to be gone on the weekends, or go on guy trips or to go out at night and leave me alone. He coaches swimming two nights a week and now I LOVE that time alone. And he is going hunting at the end of March and is even going to the super bowl and get this, the Maxim Superbowl party Sat night! And I don't even care that I'm the chubby wife sitting at home while he is oggling models :-) ! Budget nazi me said "Go right ahead and buy your plane ticket!" (in fairness his Uncle is the CEO of maxim so everything else on the trip is paid for and when in his life will he EVER get to go the superbowl? so I can't be too upset.) But yeah, I'm just like, sounds good! See ya later! Then I call my sis to come over to have hot chocolate with :-) Maybe I'm becoming an independent little mama. I can totally understand why you would be clingy though, makes perfect sense! I really don't know what's gotten into me, I guess I'm just a nicer wife now that I have my baby on the way :-)

I know how you feel. DH went to Spain for a wedding earlier this month. He left on a Friday afternoon and came back the following Tuesday. The whole trip to the airport I was crying and when I came home I could not stop crying until I went to bed. When he got home I felt silly for getting so upset but I could not help it. Definately hormones...

DH's book said that the wife may get clingy, I think it's due to hormones. He is reading The Expectant Father. I haven't been too bad, but I'm normally pretty clingy so if it got much worse that would be bad, lol.

I'm right there with you. I don't want to be apart from DH and my anxiety is through the roof!

AbJams · January 2010

I feel very clingy of my DH too. And I also feel some jealousy that I havent't felt since we first started dating!

i had no choice mine went on deployment. he is missing the birth too.

slc2b · January 2010

You are not alone. DH travels for work occasionally. I am usually fine with it and even sometimes look forward to it. He is gone this week for the first time since I have been pregnant, and it is HARD! I miss him way more than I ever have. It almost makes me want to cry. I can't wait until Sunday when he gets home

Not a weird question at all. I'm glad you asked it! I am SOOOO Clingy now. I don't want him to leave, always want to be with him or near him. This is completely new for me. I used to love when he was away so I could rule the castle. I even went on an errand with him last weekend to deliver a dish washer in the freezing cold. This is something I never would have done before but I just wanted to be with him.

my hubby has to go out of town for week.It will be a hard week, just me and my 5 year old.I am clumsy and will have things down low so i don't have to reach high. hang in there

brookiedawn · January 2010

Y'all make me feel so much better. Of course, I'm still in absolute freak out mode...but I feel better about it. I actually asked him if he could wait until after Ty comes...because then I'll be so distracted with the baby, I won't have time to miss him. I don't think he's going for it though. *lol*

Hopefully I'll be able to rearrange everything and go with him.

Thanks for all the responses!

I'm ok during the day, but if he doesn't make it home before it gets dark, I start to freak out a little. I hate being home alone at night!
