Preggo-zilla :(

Chelsea-Belle · August 2012

Ok, I can't be the only one with this problem. It seems that everything and anything can set me off. It is getting to the point that when something makes me upset, I get upset that I'm upset?? I try and explain to my boyfriend that it's all pregnancy hormones and that he really needs to understand that his reactions only trigger more anger and frustration. I try so hard not to flip out about everything but he just doesn't seem to get it.

Anyone else in this predicament??

Pregnancy hormones are legit, and it's normal to be more emotional than normal, but I don't think pregnancy excuses getting set off or flipping out by/about everything.

I'm kind of over women acting like pregnancy is an excuse to be crazy. You can still control yourself.

Pretty much all of this. You are still a grown woman, by no means should you be flipping out at everything.

Unless it's a legitimate thing, then no, you don't get to act like an a$$hat to everyone just because you're pregnant. I cry a lot easier now than I did 9 months ago, but I'm certainly not a jerk to everyone because of my hormones.

I'll admit, it's sometimes difficult to stay as chill as I usually am, but mostly I just find myself crying more easily. I definitely don't think you should use pregnancy as an excuse to be a biotch, but I know it can be hard to control your emotions. DH & I got into a fight the other day & I burst into tears & sobbed for like 10 minutes & then we kept arguing & I couldn't stop crying.

I totally relate. The other morning I woke up and I just started crying for no specific reason. A week ago I couldn't have been happier and then it was like my third trimester came and the sh*t hit the fan. I don't flip out and yell or anything, I just get really depressed over stuff in my life that doesn't even have anything to do with the baby or being pregnant. Hormones are crazy. I didn't really buy into all of that pregnancy makes you crazy thing before I experienced it myself. I just thought it was an excuse for women to be bitches like when they are brides. I know what you mean though, I get depressed about being depressed! Hopefully it will get better. I talked to DH about it last night and that helped a little. Good luck!!

I'm def quicker to irritate but my hormonal thing has been crying. Every little thing that has gone wrong has set me off and then I get upset about being upset and continue crying for ever...though getting decent sleep last night seems to have me on a whole new playing field today!

im not sure how i feel about this one. I do agree with the other ladies. You are an adult and should know how to control some of your emotions. On the other hand every pregnancy is different and few FTM's cant handle being pregnant. Some may become depressed or have psychological problems. So unless you have any of those problems you should control your emotions a little bit better.

Definitely have a lot of this going on. My main hormonal symptom has been anger and rage, lol. Not very much crying here! I get irritated at the slightest thing and everything annoys me. And once I'm irritated/annoyed, it takes very little to keep feeling that way. I'll be really glad when this is all over. But then again, it makes me scared for the wave of post-birth hormones. I try hard to not take it out on other people, though.

Is there something else that is going on in your life? I agree that pregnancy hormones can make you more emotional, frustrated, etc, and you probably need to vent every now and then, but "flipping out about everything" is a bit over the top. I don't have too much sympathy if it's "just pregnancy hormones" since I've recently been laid off, need to pay for COBRA now, searching and going on interviews in third trimester (I was main breadwinner so pressure's on to find a job ASAP), and trying to budget baby gear now. I feel very overwhelmed and angry and frustrated too, but flipping out is not best solution for me at this point.

I feel where you are coming from. Since your boyfriend probably has never dealt with this before give him a break. Remove yourself from frustrating situations and find something that makes you relax. Try taking a short walk, running a bath, reading a book, etc.

ohh honey, im here to tell you towards the very end (i am 39 weeks). it gets way worse. You get to the point where you want to be done, so I know how you feel. I feel crazy sometimes, how mad and easily I can snap.

bingqilin00 · August 2012

I totally hear you. Lately I've been a lot angrier/more easily annoyed than usual. I'm sure it's partly due to the physical discomfort of pregnancy and stress at work, but I'm also sure it's partly due to the hormones. Hang in there!

sara052420 · August 2012

In my experience, every time I get upset or super angry I just walk away & take a few minutes to either cry it out or pull myself together, that's what works for me. If your emotions are that uncontrollable, I would talk to your doctor about things you can do to get them in check. There are definitely things they can do nowadays to help! GL!

I had a spike in hormones when I entered 3rd tri. Feeling much better now.

I have been a little short with people during my pregnancy. Especially my boyfriend. We have always been the type to play around with each other and are rarely serious but sometimes I just get so annoyed with him that I flip. But I have also had a very uncomfortable pregnancy with acid reflux, kidney infections, trouble breathing, hospital stays, and some nights of zero sleep so he doesn't always get mad and tries. I don't flip out over everything. I keep calm about a lot.
