Feeling irritable and down

in September 2013 Moms
Has anyone else been feeling really short, irritable and slightly down/depressed lately? I'm not sure if it's because of the weight gain towards the last month, the uncomfortable feeling of aches in my body or lack of sleep at night but I just feel SO irritable and short with my DH. I feel terrible because I know it's not fair to him!! I"m on a modified bedrest so I am working only a couple days a week now and the rest I'm trying to take it easy to keep my contractions at bay. I haven't felt this down at all throughout the pregnancy and I"m really excited to meet our little boy!! In fact, in my opinion, it can't come fast enough! But I hate just how irritable I am. Anyone else??

    Thanks!! I'm sure it is more common than I know. This is such an emotional process, I never knew how much!

    It's been a rollercoaster. Every little noise irritates me. Music irritates me. Loud cars irritate me. You name it and it's annoying lol

    It really is emotional. Today I re-read the cards from my shower and was hysterically crying. 2 seconds later I was fine. So weird

    My emotions are all over the place, so I can commiserate. I'm sure you being on modified bed rest doesn't help. Hang in there!!!

    I'm not necessarily depressed. I'm am very irritable right now and have no patience for anyone except my husband. For some reason he is the only one I can tolerate. My three kids are getting bored with being home and inside everyday because its too flipping hot outside. I'm having trouble accepting that I need to take it easy and relax.

    I am always the most irritable, angry pregnant woman! My husband actually thinks its funny by now and luckily doesn't take it seriously. I am all sorts of crazy and super-stressed and then literally become a normal, positive, less-stressed person the minute after giving birth!

    I am on the same boat. Things at work have definately been hard because I don't have much patience anymore. I get tired very easily and I get sad that my clothes don't fit my bump anymore. I've seem to have gone on a growing spur overnight and I find it silly to buy new clothes for only a few weeks. Stretch marks have made an appearance and that depressed me for a bit. I wish I could do a lot more fun outdoor activities but I can only make it to the gym and back home....the joys of pregnancy, you're not alone.

    I could have written this. I'm so irritable. I feel borderline depressed. For me I think a lot of it has to do with my diet change for high protien intake that my MW put me on. I am so much heavier than my body wants me to be and it is dragging me down. I feel like a dinosaur walking around my house.

    Bless your heart!  I know exactly what you mean...most of the time I feel like just sitting my fat rear down somewhere and having a good ugly cry! 

    I just feel so bloated, uncomfortable, moody and YES depressed-like.  All I can hold on to is that we are all going to get through these last few weeks and we will have precious little ones to take care of and we will hopefully forget all of the unpleasantness of this last month  :)

    Right there with ya! I feel so frustrated and nothing feels "good" these days!! If only I could enjoy a cocktail to take the edge off sometimes. :)

    Yes. I too have been a complete wreck for the last month. It's not that I'm not excited to see this baby, I totally am, but I'm just so scared of how I'll be handling two children all by myself pretty much. I'm sure that what I feel is normal, but I still hate the feeling of always being sad.
