I'm a hormonal bitch

Okay so I just flipped my lid on SO. Like really, it was bad. I basically ripped him a new @$$hole. What's really sad is that to "normal" people (aka non-preggers), the reason why I did probably wouldn't have been a big deal. But thanks to my raging pregnancy hormones, I went ballistic. I feel like a horrible, evil, controlling bitch. And I'm hoping some of you have done similar things so I don't feel like such bad of a person? Sympathize with me please :((

Re: I'm a hormonal bitch

  • I just wanted to say I like the title of this post. It summarizes me. I flipped out on my sister the other day and we haven't spoken since, but IMHO she deserved it.

  • Sorry I haven't, I try to watch my hormonal rages and separate myself from situations that cause rage. If you feel so bad talk to SO and let him know you feel horrible. Best advice I have.

    I was a crazy bitch before igot pregnant. Now it seems that all my hormones surge at once so if I am mean to DH I am usually crying and/or laughing within minutes as well. Bless him, he's a real trooper!
  • Mine have been making me have these bouts of anger, but no rage yet. I imagined I would be weepy because I never was before I got pregnant and everyone told me to expect it. I was never temperamental but that's what has happened. Over the stupidest things, too. My poor boyfriend must really love me to deal with my crap. Lol

    Mine too. I got home and he just hugged me and apologized and started saying he needs to take my feelings into consideration more now that I'm pregnant, and freaking out on him wasn't my fault. Bless his heart, what a trooper. Haha ❤

    I've been very sensitive with both pregnancies. It was no surprise this time. I very much have a love/hate relationship with Disney right now.

    During my first pregnancy there were a couple bad moments. I was ravenous hungry when I was pregnant with my son, constantly. I've been on steroids that made me hungry but that doesn't hold a candle to the way I was hungry while pregnant with my son. I was out at a restaurant with my husband. He casually reached over and started to take a couple of my fries. Normally it would not have been a big deal. This particular time, without thinking, swiftly stabbed his hand with a plastic spork.

    I was horrified, sitting there apologizing profusely while wondering what had possessed me. There was no blood, no real injury, but I still feel guilty. He never took food from me again without asking first.

    Wanted to add- I also remember when I was pregnant with my son I had a very vivid dream of my husband doing something (I think cheating, I can't remember now). I woke up so mad at him I could hardly talk to him or look at him, even though I knew it was a dream and I was being completely irrational. I told him I knew it was a dream and that he'd done nothing wrong but needed a little time to convince my hormonal self of that.
  • Not pregnant I would get snippy with my bf if I got upset about something stupid but would try and control it by calmly telling him why it upset me. Now I just cry and everything comes rushing out in a flood then I feel awful. I have not yelled at him like I sometimes would when pmsing. The other night I cried for an hour over something that was not his fault at all.

    Lol! My boyfriend ate my leftovers from the fridge a couple weeks ago. I didn't talk to him for a couple days, I was very upset. They just have to learn they can't mess with a pregnant lady's food.

    Hahahaha this is awesome. SO ate my ice cream one night and I got a little upset, but not that bad. That's funny!
  • @sarahgn My mom and his mom both told him he should have known better. I can tell with this pregnancy he definitely learned from the previous one. Although he still wasn't too happy with my trying to feed him in his sleep the other night and ending up smacking him repeatedly in the face.

    Lol this is soooooo hilarious.. This Is so me I was also something serious before pregnancy but now I give not only my BF but everybody pure hell doesn't take much to make me flip out.
  • I also have rage moments, but I have tried to stay away from people during these moments, they seem to fade after about an hour. I'm not very ragey in my non pregnant life. I just take some time and things seem to stop bothering me, but in the moment I could really rip into anyone in front of me. I also cry at most things I watch on tv lol
  • I flipped on my lawn guy 2 weeks ago. He's apparently still traumatized. image

    OMG! I haven't been angry but I've been a crying baby for the last couple of days!!!!!! So insane!! I can't even control it! My eye balls could not get puffier!
  • Me too. I've had it out for my hubby it seems. I love the guy so much but seems like everything he does irritates me down to the way he eats! I'm not a fan of these crazy hormones.
    Poor guy...He can't wait til December in hopes it gets better.
  • This is me. I have blown up on my SO a few times while pregnant. He's pretty much deserved it 75% of the time.

  • Past two nights I have bawled my eyes out...I am usually REALLY good at controlling my stress but evidentally not with this pregnancy....TERRIBLE combination!! I hope this passes quick!
  • My rage is increasing now ~X( if I come out of this pregnancy without smashing something it will be a miracle.
  • I haven't raged yet, but I frequent a subreddit called r/justnomil, and some of the stories on there ARE my MIL, so I am just waiting for the day that I rage on her. I know it will happen, hopefully SO will be there to stop me. :-D

    I make cards (invitations, congratulations, thank yous and the like) and the other night I was drafting up a couple ideas and I had this one that I was telling SO about. He tells me to be careful trying to sell a certain Thank You card because I may encounter copyright issues on the image. I hadn't and couldn't made it clear to him that these were the Thank You cards I wanted to make for our baby shower not for selling. So instead of explaining this I broke down crying. He sat with me insisting that he would always support me and loved my ideas and that they were all great. I felt so silly once I had calmed down and was able to tell him why I was upset. So within 2 minutes I went from fine, to crying, to laughing hysterically at the misunderstanding and my hormones.

    I am usually a very level, mellow person so even now I know when I am being half-irrational and driven by fluctuating pregnancy hormones... not that it makes anything easier.

  • My hormonal rage is around when I'm asleep!! I guess I started yelling at my SO while I was passed out!
  • Not 20 minutes ago, I bitched at SO because he asked how my phone battery had gotten so low considering I haven't touched it much today. I told him that I'm not some magical fix all nerd who knows exactly what's wrong with every electronic and exactly how to fix it. And that I didn't know what was going on with my battery, which I say everytime. In my defense, he does do this every single time he sees me plugging my phone in and always feels the need to tell me the exact percentage his phone is still at. I've told him before that I'm well aware there is a issue with my battery and I need to send the phone away but I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
    I'm usually able to keep myself in check, even with the raging hormones. There are just sometimes he bloody well deserves the tongue lashing. Maybe my tolerance for his occasional dumb is lowered.

  • I haven't blown up, but I do notice I have a shorter fuse and many things he does just annoys the shit out of me! It's a struggle not to nit-pick him - which I also know is annoying (to both of us), so i'm trying not to and just breathe. I feel like I do everything right (truth), and he doesn't :)
  • I have been there!!! We all have! I been there with out raging hormones probably more!! I've learned, tricks to it! When I begin to feel upset, I text my mom or sister, go to be alone, smell lavender oil, and or joy/purification essential oils. I then have a chance to be rational! It helps with all the obnoxious feelings! Essential oils saved me! I suffer from occasional panic attacks and anxiety/ADHD. They are an extreme help, totally safe, and I'd hope DH takes everything with grains of salt with all your emotions. Cuz let's be honest we can help it but I believe they can be managed. Good luck!!!:)
  • I cry and nit pick a lot and I stew over shit like it's my job.
    Just got my first prenatal massage and things are looking rosier.
  • Ill laugh hysterically at something that isn't even that funny and my fuse is waaay shorter!
    Actually I'm exactly what the title says- a hormonal bitch :))
  • I got so pissed off at SO yesterday. He didn't even do anything to deserve it, we aren't even in the same country right now.
    Now today, I have the lovey-dovey feelings for him and can't wait for him to come home next week. Stupid mood swings.
  • I got so angry with my fur baby today! He just was being a typical teenage puppy and not listening. I yelled at him and he just looked at me. I feel bad now cause I know he's still a baby but MAN I'm going to be taking care of four kids. (Husband, dog, daughter, new baby) I at least thought out of all of them he would have my back but NO
