hi, I'm new. and angry.

kdubb89 · January 2015

Okay, so I'm not super new to the bump...
I practically lived on these forums when I was preggo with my DS who is 5 now.

I got a surprise BFP on 12/5/14
& my EDD is 8/11/15

Honestly though, my reason for posting is my poor DH. He has been taking my hormonal wrath day after day and I'm starting to worry I'll never gain control of my inner Bruce Banner.

I know hormones are a b*tch. I just don't remember being this ill with my first pregnancy.

How are you's ladies' fuses holding up? Is there anything that helps?

Dajart4 · January 2015

I find I get frustrated easier. Since I know my hormones may play a huge part in this feel after I have a emotional episode I try and over compensate with kindness. I bet people around me think I'm totally crazy.

Try apologizing to your DH for the outbursts. An "I'm sorry can go a long way."

Dude... I'm a bitch. Absolutely no patience when it comes to asshattery lately. What stinks is I've snapped a few times at my toddler, which makes me feel super crummy. It goes something like this:

LO: I want another fruit snack

Me: No, you just had some, drink your water, I'll get some goldfish if you want.

LO: NOOOO! I said fruit snack! I don't want goldfish! They're YUCKY!

Me: What did I just say? If you dont like goldfish anymore, I'll just throw away the box and you will be left with your water. Is that what you want?

LO: <verge of tears> please don't throw away my goldfish... I just want more fruit snacks

Me: NO MORE FRUIT SNACKS!

Yup, not my best parenting moments lately.

Pregnancy hormones should be classified as biological weapons....

I am total opposite of my last pregnacy. I felt great the first time around for the most part but i was a RAGING Bitch. My husband would purposely come home late to avoid me or wait to come to bed til I was out cold. He'd put a PBJ next to my side of the bed for my MS as a peace offering. Without that I probably would have tore out his jugular.

This time around I am miserable. Nauseous, headaches, yakking, tired but I am my normal self with a bit of whining simply because I'm sick of feeling like crap.
My poor husband was afraid when I told him we were pregnant and asked if the "other person" was going to come back.
Starting to feel better finally!

I have severe morning sickness to even bother to feel like a bitch or argue just because of my attitude, which I don't have to begin with. I'm not even mean to my DD because I know she in her own way feels baby and may become jealous but its up to me to keep it balanced. She's a kid and acts out. She's a kid.

cosplaymom · January 2015

When I start to Hulk out, I usually withdraw to another room and distract myself with something to do until I calm down. If LO is wearing me out I might just put her in her crib and let her cry for a few minutes until I am ready to pick her up again.

Sometimes it is better to drop everything and just walk away until the moment passes, so you don't blow up in front of your loved ones and take it out on them.

MissAva387 · January 2015

Thankfully, I've only blown up at my hubby once (well-deserved), but I feel my patience thining with my co-workers. I love the ladies I work with and haven't blown up yet, but I swear, it's going to boil over someday. It's always something completely petty, that gets me going, too.

Oh, and lately tupperware lids are the work of the devil. Can't ever find the right one or make them fit so they end up being thrown across the kitchen...

Whoops nm

iromero08 · January 2015

This is my first pregnancy. It's so nice to hear that I am not the only one turning into a monster... I just want him to read my mind and act BEFORE I need it... I don't think that's too much to ask (lol I'm being funny).
But it passes right? Do the hormonal rages go away? Hr keeps saying he misses his old ivy..

MouseMama817 · January 2015

I haven't been hormonal in the sense of irritability, but I will cry over nothing at all lol

pathower · January 2015

I have been snappy with my husband lately but its just a second where I snap and the next im fine. Its my first pregnancy and thankfully im not one to be mean. So he understands. I just hope it passes when im out of the first trimester.

thehurricaine · January 2015

Oh man, my hormones have made me just the grumpiest bitch. I've been doing a pretty good job so far of not letting it show, but people have noticed that I'm quieter than usual. I'm quieter because I'm trying so hard to be a reasonable human being.

I didn't feel quite like this last time, but I will say that all my other symptoms went away after I gave birth last time, so here's hoping this raging bitch eventually calms down.

changedname · January 2015

I have good days and bad days lol. Closer to time to eat I'm 100 more hangry than I normally am lol. I wouldn't call myself bitchy ((cough cough DH may think otherwise)) lol but I am Soooo irritable. My tolerance for stupidity and anything I find annoying is at an all time high. I definitely have to keep my mood in check before I feel the need to strangle someone lol

JumpAroundBucky · January 2015

I've started sending DH "I'm sorry I'm a crazy bitch" emails and texts when he's at work. It's been helpful.

kcebeling · January 2015

Bless your self-awareness OP. You are not alone (I'm struggling with a severe case of road rage). Give him a back rub...and tell him what an incredibly strong man he is.

katehenton623 · January 2015

I'm not a very good communicator so the hormone thing has been kind of good for us because I can't help but communicate. Not going to lie, the working on communication while pregnant and touchy is absolutely NO fun, but it's better to work on it now then to wait until after the baby gets here. The problem is that we think stress caused my last mc so my hubby is afraid to have big conversations lest it stress me out and we lose this lovey also. The raging hormones suck! I'm holding out for 2 trimester happy feelings!

Heavenwhip · January 2015

With my first everything was sunshine and rainbows, with this one, I have the world's shortest fuse. I'm sure my husband is like 'whoa what happened to my wife' some of my snap is justified, some not so much. I'm hoping things come back into focus during the 2nd tri.

KLB2T · January 2015

Lol, my poor DH... I was sleeping while he was sitting up in bed watching tv, he thought I was still awake (I was facing away from him) so he slapped my ass and woke me up. I was so pissed at him and he just stared at me for a minute and said "I can't wait for you to not be pregnant anymore."

I apologized, but seriously...don't mess with my sleep!

lbwilson86 · January 2015

This is my first pregnancy and i have good days and bad days. I try not to get angry but sometimes the little things make me mad. My question is can this be harmful to the baby?

LindsayClark6 · January 2015

speaking of unnecessary rage...What the #$%& are all the acronyms???? DH, DS, LO, DD? I'm sort of getting getting he gist I. some posts but have no clue what words the letters represent. Now I've completely lost the point of the thread and can't get off this one thing making me want to throw something...which seems to happen every day of my life now.

You could probably google "the bump acronyms"...there used to be a thread with a link but its gone now.

But for now....DH: darling husband, DS: darling son, DD: darling daughter, LO: little one
