The hormones/emotions have hit full force.

OMG.

This weekend was awful. DH and I haven't bickered/fought like that in years. The thing about it is, it's situations where typically I'm able to say what's wrong calmly, we'll discuss it, and it's over.

This weekend? I said what I needed to say, ended up in tears (which I couldn't stop) and it escalated from there, which made me look like *that* crazy pregnant lady. And once I start, I can't stop. It happened both Saturday and Sunday, totally different incidents, same result.

Has anyone found a way to keep things in check? I hate being so out of control. At one point I told DH that I hated being pregnant because I feel so out of control of everything. He made a comment last week that I have been unlike what most pregnancy books he's read say women are like... but this weekend I proved that wrong, which made me feel horrible. I liked being atypical!

Any suggestions are welcome, I don't want a repeat of this weekend Tongue Tied

    My hormones have been pretty bad lately too, and I'm not sure if it's me or my pregnancy. I hate when it's being blamed on the pregnancy and not the situation. Mine is mostly my self esteem being targeted by these hormones and it's causing me to over analyze EVERY situation. That being said, I honestly have to sit down and think about what my issue is, how I can resolve it on my own, is it reasonable etc. I'm really big on concentrating on things that bother me. Sometimes it makes it worse, but most of the time I really reflect on why I'm upset and realize it's an internal issue.

    I get over it after a good cry or after I vent about it. My mom usually puts me in my place if I'm over reacting.

    I kind of lost it as well on Sunday. For some reason since becoming preggo I've also become really bossy. My DH says that I order him around like never before. We spent all day Saturday preparing the nursery and cleaning closets. He painted the nursery and moved out all of the old furniture and assembled the new furniture as well as picked up lunch for us both. We had made a deal that Sunday would be his day to relax, but I went curtain shopping, so on Sunday I asked him to hang the curtain for the nursery & he simply said I'll do it on Monday after work. Today I just want to relax.  I freaked out! I couldn't believe that he wouldn't just do it. He then proceeded to do it, but not before saying, "alright captain." I burst into tears because that really hurt my feelings and made me feel like this bossy wife. I couldn't believe that he was acting so immature. After we spoke about it, I realized that I have been giving him different orders left & right and just expecting him to do them.  I really need to work on this.Tongue Tied

     I have felt the same way lately. Usually when something bothers me I stay and we talk it out, but Ive realized this may not always be the right thing to do right now. I get very upset easily, and like you once the tears start it is so hard to stop. So I actually left the house this weekend. He was mad at first that I was leaving , but I told him Id be right back I just needed to calm down. I drove to the next street in our sub and parked. Then I just cried until it was all out and went back home. I felt absolutely fine then, and he said 'feel better" when I got back and we both laughed.

    I was the same way this weekend...complete bitchathon 2011.

    My DH decided to change career paths and partner with another guy to buy a business which is completely stressing me out.  I am one of those people who needs consistency and facts when it comes to finances.  I am a complete wreck about it even though it will hopefully be a great opportunity.  Of course the cash isn't exactly flowing in yet and I am completely nuts over this.  I have a great job with great benefits so it's not like we are going to starve but the stress is turning me into a complete *** when I SHOULD be supportive of him wanting to provide more income in the long run...I wish I could just turn off the *** switch but I can't!
