Mood Swing City

Ugh my mood swings are out of control. I'm irritable, angry, and miserable. I'm depressed, crying, and feel like I'm going nuts. My 19 month old seems to be feeling my pains and has been miserable the last two days.

This is my second pregnancy and while it was something "we planned" it was still a surprise since I thought my period had come and gone - so we are still kind of processing.

I've taken four tests and they're all positive, but I want a doctors proof that I'm really pregnant. My doctor won't see me until I'm atleast 8 weeks and based on my last period I'm only 6 weeks 6 days. It wouldn't be an issue to wait a week to go in but I'm going on vacation for two weeks to visit my family in CT so I have to wait until July 30 to go in for a confirmation. However we are telling our immediate family bc it's something I could never hide!

I just need some words of encouragement or tips on how to relax.

    Take a nap, get out of the house, do something fun, just play with your 19 month old, treat yourself to something nice - like ice cream or a latte if that sounds good.  You could always fudge your period date to try to get in with the doc?? 
    DS1 - 9/21/11
    DS2 - 7/4/14
    DS3 - 2/21/16

    I'm sorry you're feeling so out of control; I hate that feeling. 
    Will this vacation be a relaxing one?  Maybe you can plan some quiet time during those 2 weeks?  Have someone watch your LO and go on a romantic date with DH?  Take some time to talk about it with him and help to put your mind at ease. Most of us women feel better after expressing our emotions.

    Thanks everyone! It's funny because after I wrote this my little princess took a nap and my Inlaws came to get her. I got my nails done and then have been cleaning all day - it helps the crankiness... But not the random crying! This 2nd pregnancy is so different than my first...

    I'm living that life right now, although this is my first pregnancy. I'm 7 weeks and on vacation just relaxing. I've had bad bad moods swings, especially being on vacation everyone enjoying sushi and drinks while I stick to water and other foods. But I'm relaxing on the beach, having a nice time, reading and enjoying life. :) just enjoy your vacation!

    I have mood swings too. I am trying to remember that's what they are and not freak out over stupid stuff to those I love. Deep breathing helps. Oh and I tell myself that if I still feel the same way on 24 hours I can totally freak, but hold off til then. It seems to help. I plot my freak out and then feel better and it goes away.
