Irrational pregnant woman moment...

So, last night, my evening sickness came back for the first time in a week and an half with a vengence. I was so irritated because I had just brushed my teeth. Then, I had to eat again because I would be hungry at night. I finally got ready for bed around 11. I woke up at 12:30 starving. My husband found me in the kitchen angrily crying while I ate crackers with peanut butter. I was so mad that I had to brush my teeth for a fourth time that night and I didn't really want crackers with peanut butter, but I couldn't think of anything else.

I feel silly today, but I was so upset last night. Anyone else want to share so I don't feel like aliens have completely taken over my brain?

When I was pregnant with DD, I remember being awake at 3am eating leftover steak. Thankfully I haven't had that crazy hunger this time.

As for the upset part...I had a meltdown b/c I was overwhelmed by what we have left to do and I'm so uncomfortable I'm limited as to what I can do myself so I have to rely on others. It's a bit frustrating.

I've been there! So irritated about being hungry again and then, having to brush my teeth again. Maybe I didn't cry. However, I was pretty irritated when I accepted that I had to eat again at midnight or 1AM if I was to avoid nausea at night.

The hunger and nausea were definitely the worst.

Now, I go crazy because my brain is so pathetic and my job is stressful enough without trying to function on no sleep and no brain power.

The worst, though, was a night before I had to work. I got into bed at a reasonable hour and then could. not. get. comfortable. Not even a little. I couldn't lie down, I couldn't sit up, I couldn't prop pillows in any place that would help even a little. I was so congested and nothing was working so I couldn't breathe. I finally started crying and just went into the shower, sat on the bottom of the tub with the hot water pouring over me until it finally went cold, and then had to shout to wake up my husband to help me stand up again. I think I finally fell asleep around 3:30am and just cried when my alarm went off at 5:15. That was the worst.

Hang in there, Mama. It will get better.

Two nights ago my husband found me sitting on the kitchen floor next to the refrigerator eating marinated artichoke out of the jar. It was all I could manage and I didn't have the energy to stand up. When he helped me up to go back to bed I almost threw up on him. I keep starting to have a better day and I'll think maybe I'm almost over it but then it comes back. Forget about brushing my teeth when I should, it gags me too bad. I hope my teeth will hang in there til it gets better. And the emotions, well, yesterday I cried when I couldn't get the lid open on a jar. So I know what you're talking about. Oh and sleep is basically torture anymore. I wake up all night long, hot or cold, can't get comfortable no matter what I try. Anything touching me hurts, so every time my husband tries to snuggle up I have to push him off. It SUCKS. I guess we just have to hang in there.

I kept food next to my bed when I was PG. Actually, a whole drawer full of bars and snacks. Also, you'll figure out what it is that satisfies you,.... and you can set it out ahead of time. Cereal was my favorite.

Funny, not being hungry at 3am was one of the first signs I had that I was m/c-ing. Count your blessings.

Sorry to laugh - but I've been there and in our house we call this HANGRY (hungry +angry). You are not alone. I have sobbed because I was so hangry more than once. My husband loaded up my car with snacks to try to help stop the crying!!
