I have been so cranky and irritable for most of the second trimester so far. At first I didn't really notice it, but now it has gotten so bad even I can tell when I'm being unreasonable. My poor DH is scared to talk to me because I am always snapping. I don't remember feeling like this with my first pregnancy, and DH says he doesn't either, but I honestly feel like I have zero patience for anything and the slightest little things just cause me to snap and snarl. It's even getting bad at work as people can tell. I'm usually a fairly cheerful person so I think it is more noticeable.
I don't suppose anyone has a suggestion for what to do about it? I'm pretty sure it's a combo of hormones and work stress, don't think there is much that can be done about either (although finding a new job has crossed my mind more than once).
Here's hoping my DH remains patient!!
Re: Anyone else really grumpy?
Currently I am grumpy because I am STILL waiting to get my tooth fixed, I am in ridiculous amounts of pain and can't sleep. Luckily there was a cancellation and I can get in this Fri but that will be over 2 weeks since the tooth pain started!!!
I think I am also more irritable this time around. I think because I am just so tired. And with my first pregnancy, I could nap and relax all I want. Now we have LO's to take care of so we don't have the luxury of resting as much, that alone is sure to make anyone a bit testy.
I have no advice for you other than to say you aren't alone and I am sure it will get better!!
This exactly.
And I have an ear infection that LO gave me.
