Third trimester hormones have me questioning my sanity. I feel so sorry for DH. Sometimes he deserves it though. I feel like I have the cartoon angel & devil on my shoulder thing going on when I come up with some of the things I say to him and I usually say what the devil side wants me to say. Then I feel really bad and get emotional about being so mean. And then the sensitivity/emotional crying...
There is a stray dog at his shop for work that they feed dog food & leftovers and apparently she just got pregnant. We have been saving the food we don't finish on our plates at dinner for her and sometimes I forget and it goes in the trash. I saw her today for the first time and said "babe you didn't tell me she was pregnant!!" DH said he didn't know she just started looking that way and I started bawling while petting her.
DH: why are you crying??
Me: ITS SO SAD!!! She is pregnant and doesnt have a home!!!! I've thrown food away and she needs it!!!!
DH did everything right this morning - I had said last night that I wanted bacon for breakfast (since I found out I don't have gallstones but that LO was just messing with my ribs), and he not only listened, but made me breakfast in bed this morning - bacon, eggs, muffin, and tea!!! I was in a fantastic mood.
Then we decided to just play some board games this morning since we have a busy afternoon and wanted to be lazy... He had to duck and cover because I kept losing regardless of what game we played (they were all mostly luck so it's not like he was winning on purpose). Poor guy.
I started crying while driving down the road bc "Fight Song" came on. It was just really inspiring and made me think about how strong I am (and we are) to be going through this journey and it made me think about how many women have made it through labor and I will be just as tough. I know that's not exactly what the song is going for...just where my hormonal mind went! Heaven help, haha.
I cried last night because we're keeping my MIL's dog while she's in Norway and he peed on the carpet. He had just been taken out a few hours earlier. I started crying hysterically that, "I just want to live in a nice house without animal pee everywhere! Why can't I live in a nice house!"
If there's something strange underneath the hood. Who you gonna call? Your Doctor. If there's something weird and it don't look good. Who you gonna call? Your Doctor. Immediately. If it's new, painful, and possibly pregnancy related get your ass off the internet and call your doctor. It's for your health and your child's.
Half the time I'm not sure if people are just idiots or it's just my hormones.. My road rage hasn't also gotten 20x worst since being pregnant.. I don't drive all crazy or anything but cutting me off when there is absolutely nobody behind me is starting to make me batty... They can wait 5 more seconds to go behind instead of almost taking my front bumper off.. I also cried when I dropped my ice cream yesterday.. Like hysterically cried about dropping my ice cream.. Yup I've lost it..
Whoa... Im 27 weeks now...just ending the second trimester... how long before y'all started becoming more emotional?
Right around 28 weeks for me. Everything seems to transition very suddenly at trimester changes for me (e.g. morning sickness ended literally the day I started my second trimester).
I'm finally reading this thread. This was me this morning before work, I was hsysterical crying over our recent move. Told dh wanted to move back to our condo and that I didn't like it here, there's too many boxes.
Cried tonight because I made supper (have had a serious food aversion since the first trimester!) and my husband came home with takeout. He said he was trying to help out since I he a long day, but I got so offended I cried for about an hour. Honestly, I'm tearing up typing this!! I'm so ready to not be a crazy emotional mess again.
My crazy hormones gave me the worst dreAm Last night:( I dreamed my hubby died. I woke up crying and couldn't stop crying for a while. Took me a while to relax and go back to sleep. Ugh
I seriously envy those of you who got a break from this hell of hormones during the second trimester. For me, the urge to throat punch has been pretty consistent throughout my entire pregnancy. I'm starting to wonder if this will be a permanent thing.
another one!- I started BAWLING watching a video online of a dog that jumped to touch the casket of his human friend who passed away. I laughed at myself but couldn't stop crying!! I made both my dogs come up on the bed and cuddle with me after that and it made me feel better. haha
I'd love the ridiculous sad crying from trimester 1 back... I've now started irrationally rage-crying. So my husband will be trying to comfort me and I'm still mad (about nothing) so him being all nice just makes me more mad. I'm a crazy person. Come back, 2nd trimester (relative) calmness!
I am the same way. This is the second baby so you think husband would know better then to tell me mid-breakdown that my hormones are causing me to not be able to control my emotions. Because that ALWAYS makes things better!!!!!
Ugh, I've been on a roller coaster of emotion. Yesterday, while at work (not a good idea), I read an article about babies in the womb exhibiting crying behaviors. Then I started to tear up thinking about my baby crying with no way to comfort him. The idea just worked me up more and more until it got to the point that I had to take a 10-minute bathroom break to gather myself.
At the same time, I've also noticed weird "high" feelings that remind me of being tipsy. The other night, I asked my husband to get me an ice cream cone. He brought it to me with mint choc chip, but I had wanted peanut butter ice cream. It really wasn't that funny, but I laughed hysterically for a long time as I watched him diligently trying to scoop out all of the remnants of the first ice cream so he could replace it with the second kind.
Resurrecting this because I am a psycho. Literally. 1st and 2nd tri I pretty much did okay with dealing with my hormones. .... 3rd tri has been a Rollercoaster. I go from crying to raging in record time with no reason why. Right now I want to rip my husband's head off for no reason. The only thing haven't gotten mad at lately is my cat
