Mood Question

in December 2014 Moms
Hello everyone, just curious about this: do you find yourself getting more moody and irritable as your pregnancy progresses or less? In my case I notice myself getting more uncomfortable in third trimester but also less hormonal overall. Interested to know how others are reacting/coping.

    You would have to ask my DH if I have been more moody, hormonal, etc.

    Oh I am definitely feeling less sympathy for my sarcastic ways. But I am currently not crying over everything. (Although now that I've said it I'll probably cry before the night is done lol)

    Def more uncomfortable, with my husband more needy/ needing extra love. At work more irratiable!

    I haven't found myself to be overly sad or crying very often, but Everything is funny! I almost peed from laughing so hard at something DH said (that in hindsight was only moderately funny...) in public today.

    But on the flip side, my anxiety has come back this week. We are going to Disney this weekend and I'm pretty convinced I'm going to catch something and get sick, or we will die on the (2.5 hour) drive...

    So... Not sad, but anxious, and throw in some hysterical laughing for good measure. I don't know how DH is putting up with me this week.

    I really do feel like my "give a damn" is broken. It is very hard for me to care about others people's little problems. But I am really trying to stay level headed.

    I'm definitely more cranky at work. I also want to punch all the strangers in public that look at my face and then straight down to my pregnant belly. I don't know why but it bothers me so much.

    Granted I'm on an antidepressant but I'm honestly doing great mood-wise. I have my moments (especially nervous/anxious ones) but I've been mostly relaxed and happy lately. Physically I feel pretty gross and uncomfortable but I'm so glad my mood and hormones have stabilized.

    I am more temperamental. Having issues keeping up with the day to day. Good thing there is not OT right now. I have to take a time out when SO gets home. Sad but true. Getting tired, the pregnancy insomnia (worse than a newborn), getting shaky after only 5-10 minutes of doing something, and all that is not helping my moods. Luckily 3rd trimester hit once the kids were in school, well 3 of them. So I am grateful for that. my almost 3 year old and 1 year old are watching way to much tv (how I cope) while sitting on me. :-/ I suck.

    Oh well, I know I will be back to "nope, let's do a craft" and all that in January. And we do some small things when daddy gets home. Today we did pumpkins. This weekend we are going to the petting zoo.

    Edited in:
    and the mood issues are making me fixate more on Auntie and all that BS. Honestly, I just want to enjoy my last baby. Not have to deal with the little comments, with unexpected visitors, and all that BS... or the pass the baby. This is my last baby! She will live.

    I'm super uncomfortable lately (especially this week) and I've noticed I'm pretty moody too. My patience is almost nothing and I get irritated about stuff really quick. I attribute that to my lack of sleep and increased discomfort.

    I have always been one to not have patience for most people but lately the smallest things have been setting me off and I really hate pretty much all people for no logical reason. Also, I have noticed I cry much more easily about not-so-cry-worthy things. My DH saids I have my good and bad days but surprising it hasn't been too bad.

    Definitely lots of aches and pains. Very very emotional. I threw a crying hissy fit tonight bc of burnt ribeyes, I wanted to eat so bad with potato au gratin I made. I feel very frustrated. On the other hand, loving all the kicks and bumps and limbs and jabs I'm feeling in my belly, so life isn't that bad after all lol

    I've always been a bit of a bitch, so I wouldn't say it's gotten worse. Maybe I am less patient?

    Eh, I've been pretty even keel this whole time.  I am more apt to cry so I'm emotional in that way, but otherwise I feel pretty good.  My first pregnancy I was so so anxious and stressed.  I lost my ever loving mind.  Whatever the hormonal differences, I prefer the crying.

    Clearly the minority here, but this pregnancy has given me a whole new personality and it's great!! Usually I am a somewhat volatile, anxious, highly strung and irritable person. Since being pregnant, I've been happy and easy going, relaxed, non-confrontational, easy to please, patient and much less anxious. I really hope this is the new me because even I can see how much better I am at being a friend, a spouse, etc. when I'm like this.

    A wake up call about how I was before. Even if the hormones leave me stranded as my old self after delivery, I now have some personal goals to aim for.

    The change is dramatic enough for me to wonder in awe how my husband put up with me for nearly 12 years. Walking on eggshells, maybe. I'm not proud of that.

    Nope, feeling great! I'm so excited to meet my baby, it's just made me so happy. I absolutely love being pregnant, and I'm making sure to enjoy it because I know some people have awful pregnancies. Plus if I'm lucky enough to have another child my next pregnancy might not be as easy. 

    I was worried because one of my friends got crazy hormonal at the end, but guess she had higher levels of something in her blood lol

    Everything pisses me off right now. I think it is more stress/discomfort at this point than hormones though.

    Never thought I would become the person I am during this pregnancy. I used to be very non-confrontational and used to have a hard time rocking the boat whatsoever. Lately...yeah that's a different story. My buttons are easily pressed, i cannot deal with stupidity and have no problem telling anyone how it is. It's almost liberating. Although I don't care for the feeling of aggravation, I am enjoying this care free honesty and bluntness!

    I have ZERO patience for anyone and my filter has completely disappeared. My road rage is currently off the charts. I beep and shake my fist at everyone like I'm a goddamn Mr. Magoo.

    Well pretty much the same as everyone else. Uncomfortable and cranky. Feeling a little depressed about having to deal with GD after I just got done vomiting for 24 weeks but oh well, what're you gonna do. At least it's almost over! So excited to not be pregnant and have this little man out.

    Hormonal, moody, and uncomfortable. I snap at my SO almost daily, but he keeps doing dumb selfish things. I don't know which feelings to go with- the cranky ones or the excited to see my baby ones- and its making me a really difficult person to be around.

    I'm uncomfortable and not sleeping. This is making me really cranky. I don't really like people at all right now. I'm able to contain it and still be plesent with my patients but sometimes its takes everything in me, my co-workers I try but having less sucess everyday. Plus otherwise when I don't have to I don't want to be around anyone would be perfectly happy being a hermit right now!

    Quick to tears, but also pretty fast to laugh at myself for them. Super tired and achy, and it takes less to push my buttons than usual.

    I could realllly go for a nap right about now.
    Like a solid, 2 month nap.

    Seems, for me, the less energy I have, the less cranky I am. I was at the height of irritability during the second tri, when I felt the best. Now, I just get really spacey and nothing seems worth arguing over. It might also have to do with my husband telling me all along "yeah, you've been great, but just wait until the third trimester." I am bound and determined to prove him wrong!

    I haven't been emotional until now. I feel totally emotional done. I've cried everyday, for no reason. I pick fights for no reason. The only thing that makes me feel a little bit normal is eating food. I've been tring to eat smaller meals more often so that my good levels don't get too low. It's been working for me. Today however I took a 4 hour nap and when I woke up I picked a fight with my boyfriend about him not napping with me.

    I hope this isn't a phase that lasts long. I want my mental sanit

    Was definitely wondering today id this is "normal".. Ive been so irritable and cranky this week. Granted work has a lot to do with it. But I swear my DH is pregnant too.. He gets the cravings and now moody too..which makes me worse (cause really, whats pregnsncy doing wrong to him?!) Im super uncomfrotable lately and dont sleep, fatigued so quickly when trying to accomplishxanything around the house also. I just try to "wooosahh" throughout the day! Im just so anxious and ready to be done with all the aches and pains and finally have my baby boy here!
