Pregnancy has put me in a bad mood

i love that I'm growing a baby, but with being exhausted all the time and not feeling well it's put me in a bad mood. I just wanna shut away the world. Last night as soon as dinner was over I just went in the bedroom and laid on the bed. Let the family do their own thing. I feel bad but with being so exhausted I just don't want to be around people much. Anyone else feeling this way? What did you do to make it better?

Re: Pregnancy has put me in a bad mood

  • I love the fact I'm growing a baby, I didn't have really any morning sickness but I hate being pregnant. I hate it. I don't like the feelings, the emotions, nothing... I feel like I'm more grumpy and angry and on edge.

    I hate being pregnant...being sick and nauseous for the first 16w really killed it for me. Then this morning I coughed really hard, which made me have to vomit, peed myself while vomiting, and my nose started bleeding. I'm ready to get these babies out so I can reclaim my body!! I'm also sick of being so tired all the time!
  • I have gestational diabetes, I hate being pregnant. Everyone has an opinion on what I should be eating, nevermind the fact that my mfm drs and the dietician actually agree I'm eating the right things. I haven't gotten to touch ice cream or give into my cravings due to it. My back hurts, I have no energy, and I hate that I can't find cute clothing. I personally would love for it to be October now.
  • @KSabyan I feel pretty much the same way. 23 weeks tomorrow and still tired-- not as bad as it was in the beginning but I still don't have that much energy. I work half days and after that and coming home and doing some light chores and housework I am pretty much zonked. I feel crabby and like all I do is complain about heartburn, being constipated, or being tired. Hubby said I wasn't complaining too much but he also can't believe I am so tired all the time. In general I feel pretty good aside from my big 3 complaints and baby is totally fine so far, thank goodness, but I am just content to do nothing most of the time. I can't imagine doing this if I had other kids-- the thought seems totally exhausting to me.  
  • @meghan82 I work 7 days a week and I think it's all getting too me. Plus we just moved as well and are still planning our wedding on June 20th. So on top of all the exhaustion I have all that too. Man I hate complaining but I can't help it some times lol
  • oh it sounds like you have so many reasons to be tired!!! moving and wedding planning, those are 2 really stressful life events!! don't worry, you have good reason to complain! :)
  • YES! Pregnancy is such a life draining force, and everyone is driving me nuts currently!

  • I took a day last weekend to just sit and read. Read most of an entire book in a day. My husband is pretty laid back, so he mostly left me alone and did his own thing. It was glorious. The next day I felt so much better, had so much energy--more than I'd had the entire pregnancy. So maybe take a day just for you. Do what relaxes you and see if that helps. 

    While taking care of ourselves physically is a priority, we also need to remember to pause and rest mentally, too.  :)  I'm pretty introverted, so I have to have some alone time at the end of the day to recharge or I get very cranky. I think pregnancy has made it a little harder, especially with the extra attention now that I'm showing. I've been going to bed an hour early just to have the time to myself to read or play games on my phone. 
  • I totally understand! I did the same the other night I finished with dinner and took my son upstairs waited until he was done with the shower and put him to sleep, then I went into my bedroom and fell asleep...I slept so well! I found that unwinding myself, alone with nothing and no one around helped me so much! I played some meditation music on my phone set the timer to 15 mins and I knocked out! I did this the next 2 nights and I've felt well rested! I still feel beat and tired by the end of the day, but I dig up some energy to finish it with a positive attitude, I think the fact that I get good sleep has helped me out. Oh and I've added small walks to my day...so far I've been keeping up. Try doing something for YOU just YOU and stick to it :) it might help!

    Honestly I really dislike being pregnant. I am usually crabby and I am just over it. I am trying to embrace it because it is likely my last. It's just hard when your in pain, exhausted and hormonal all the time.

  • I don't know if it's the pregnancy or what but lately every little thing is just pissing me off and annoying me, my husband, sister, in laws everyone. I don't know what it is, I want to scream and yell but it's as if no one gets it, then I try to rationalize to myself is it me and my hormones or is everyone around me really just an idiot. I don't know, my emotions are exhausting me, I'm scared this will have a negative effect on my baby, I feel I can't even focus on my pregnancy and this baby becuase everything and everyone going on around me.
  • I'm so glad you all are saying what I have been thinking for sooooo long. I'm excited for baby but the tired, hungry, cranky, gasey, chunky pregnant lady just wants to get it over with. Then women tell me all about how much they loved being pregnant and I just grit my teeth and nod thinking how crazy they are. Also, I want beer and wine.
