Calling all angry biatches! When are the mood swings abnormal?

I am so beyond moody, I'm boarderline physcotic.
I have rage in me like no ones business and the littlest things make me literally explode... I have hauled off screaming over my partner using a decorative dish rag to dry dishes and slammed doors because something wasn't done right or fast enough. It's almost all directed towards baby daddy. Lol I feel terrible!... As much as it is embarrassing sometimes it's completely out of my control.
I'm 13 weeks, anyone else just angry and irrational???
I tried to do some research and a couple sites said these can be signs of pregnancy depression too.
I'm nervous!

Anyone else?

    I have mood swings but nothing like your describing. I mean I'll get annoyed with something or maybe start crying over something stupid but definitely nothing psychotic lol!

    Talk to your doctor. Mine told me that extreme mood swings or emotions is something that should be addressed right away, and they double check at every appointment to make sure I have my emotions under control during this pregnancy. I've been very mellow, not even mild hormonal symptoms, so the fact that I'm not moody kinda freaks me out on the other side haha. Hang in there!

    I'm super moody. I teach high school and my students are driving me crazyyyy. Things I would have brushed off pre-preg aren't flying anymore and I really have to work hard to keep my emotions in check.
    I just step back and take a couple of deep breaths before I react to a situation. I remind myself that it is most likely my hormones and not them. DH is getting some of it too, but he understands.
    I have a feeling when my kids find out that are going to say, "OHHHH! That's what has been wrong with you!!" Hahaha.

    Know you are not alone!! Just try and think before you react, as hard as that is to do right now!

    I'm sure he's not feeling too great being on the receiving end of screaming and slamming doors. Pick your battles or this is going to be a long, stressful road for both of you. Maybe next time take a deep breath, thank him for drying dishes and sweetly remind him which towels to use to dry. I get being hormonal but do try to pause and form a response when you can, think how you'd like to be spoken to if you mess up. When I get angry (and I DO, believe me) I try to not say anything at all until I can rationalize just how serious the situation is and try to respond as calmly as possible.

    If you can't reign in some control then it's time to have a serious talk with your man to tell him what's going on and then to your doctor for a game plan.

    I've definitely felt more moody and emotional at times, and I'm miserable being so tired & nauseous...but I agree with PP's that your significant other doesn't deserve to be the scapegoat over things like dish towels :-/. That will wear on the relationship really quickly. I would say call your doctor's office and speak to him/her. Medication doesn't have to be the first choice but maybe there are some non-pharmaceutical options they can give you as well? Hope it gets better!!

    Why not delete the old texts and leave that in the past? Might stop an argument from happening again in the future...

    @heatherlee0900 I am sorry you feel that way, i have been super emotional about crying alot and even getting upset.. i feel like sometimes it is uncontrollable but when i start getting worked up or can tell im getting in a bad mood i tell my DH to please give me 5 minutes to myself sometimes longer 30 minutes and that helps so much . He completely understands when i say that because i have explained to him how these added hormones effect me and it gives me time to calm it and recollect .. my husband told me a week ago he has noticed me trying very hard to keep my emotions level and he is very happy to be married to me.

    I would try to talk to your SO explain how its effecting you and get a game plan for those moments. Also if you are feeling depressed with this please contact your doctor, there are many ways to help! I hope you feel better

    I am also a high school teacher, I'm usually very laid back with the kids but lately I'm snapping at them so much! To be fair they are a squirrely bunch, and dealing with them without pregnancy hormones is intense enough! I think when they find out they will also have a moment of realization! Dealing with 170 15-16 year olds a day is so hectic, sometimes I envy those desk jobs. I have no idea how I'll manage to pump at work with only five minute breaks between classes!

    I have been very moody lately too. I feel bad for my husband and I need to learn to relax. I just don't know how! I am always pretty uptight and it's getting worse. Any advice?

    Ok thanks for the responses!! I started yoga last week. I was just waiting for this trimester to turn in hopes I'll then feel more relaxed and less hormonal!! I feel like a hormonal teenager with that stupid irrational anger and drama over the smallest things. I had a couple friends/co workers in my office that said they were just the same and it completely changed after the 1st trimester when the hormones leveled out. I also just moved, still settling in.. Hoping all calms... If not I will say something to my dr at my 16 week appointment.

    I feel bad for my DH and DS because there are times where I just get so snappy over something I would have just told them not to do before. Before I knew I was pregnant I wanted pickles (which is normal) and I only like dill. We had a ton of bread and butter ones and only my DH eats them. I actually got mad at him and gave him crap for it. LOL.

    I realize what I am doing right after I get shitty and I stop and say I am sorry. I've also started telling them if I am feel bitchy or angry so they know to just leave me be for a little bit. I'll quickly calm down and start talking to them. I feel bad about the attitude, but I can't really help it. It has gotten better this past week though!

    Lmmfao! My moods have been ridiculous too. I don't like the extremes I seem to constantly hit so I did schedule an appointment for the dr. Bouncing off the walls is no fun.

    Ugh I've been so moody to my hubby and I am going to talk to my doctor about it on friday. Not sure if my unhappiness from work is triggering it but every little thing he does that annoyed me pre pregnancy just makes me explode now that I'm pregnant

    I have been pretty ugly. My actions haven't been as extreme, but it's only through very diligent control on my part. My niece and nephew moved in with us the day I found out I was pregnant. They are six and three. Yesterday was the first day since they've been there that I actually enjoyed them. I was 14 weeks as of yesterday.

    I've been much more irritable than I ever was before. I have zero patience & I'm really trying to work on this. I'm finding it difficult to tolerate people I'm normally fine with & I prefer to just keep to myself lately! I'm pretty sure I communicate with all of you more than my own friends right now. However if I ever questioned my sanity I would probably talk to my doctor. Here's to better days!
