Anyone Feel Super Clingy To Their DH?

kwigg009 · October 2015

Hello Ladies,

I think I'm losing my mind because lately I've been over the top clingy with my DH. Before being pregnant I was the one who would have to tell him to go out and find something to do and was very independent. Boy have the tables turned! It's like I get mad or sad if he's doing his own thing (even inside the house) and feel neglected if he's not around me. I'm hoping it's just the hormones and this will pass sooner than later. Has anyone else experienced these same feelings? By the way I'm 17 wks pregnant with a girl. He even called me a stage 5 clinger a few days ago! Please help with your thoughts....

I can't help you because I'm obsessed with my husband

When he cuts the lawn I move from window to window to catch a glimpse of him. LOL
Nothing wrong with being in love with your man!

I feel exactly the same way. I went to the store yesterday and I wasn't even out of the neighborhood and I was missing him and my son something terrible, I almost turned back. Lol I do think it's hormones though because I feel similarly, though not as intensely, during parts of my monthly cycle.

I woke up early yesterday and started crying thinking about how much I love my DH. I'm a fairly emotional person anyways, but I know I've been over the top lately. I'm 17 weeks atm and we don't know the gender yet ☺️ We find out November 5th (if baby cooperates)

I was like that the first few weeks after DD was born. I read somewhere that it's the release of oxytocin (I think). It's a bonding hormone made to help you fall in love with your newborn, but overflows onto other family members as well. Haha. I'm sure the hormone arrives before the baby is actually born, so it makes sense that you'd feel that way already.

Me too! I'm usually super independent and the one pushing him off, now I'm co-dependent status clingy. He doesn't know what to do with me!! Its such a special time, I'm sure they love it

My husband travels 3 weeks a month for work. He's been doing this since before I was pregnant and it always sucked but now it's soooo hard. I miss him SO FREAKING MUCH!
I was having such a hard time that he switched this next rotation to be home two weeks and gone two. I feel like I'm going to be suction cupped to him when he gets home on Friday.

I am glued to my husband.... I miss him so badly when he goes to work... There are days i bawl my eyes out... Thinking of how much he puts up with my mood swings... I want him at home weekends Atleast.. Unfortunately his work doesn't permit... Phew... Depressed...

You ladies are so cute, so much love! Yes I defninitely think it's your hormones! Going through pregnancy together (especially the first time) is a very special time for you two and just wait until the emotions you feel when you actually see that baby! The newborn phase can be challenging with sleep depravation and all and can get stressful so enjoy this blissful feeling with your DH. Unfortunately now between 3 kids and DH traveling I feel like I don't even know him, I wish I was in the baby honeymoon phase like you guys!

@SarahFoley725 my hubby does too

he's 2.5 weeks gone, 5 days home. Been doing this for 2 years - it sucks.

Absolutely! I had to be out of town a couple weeks ago for a conference (I was 17 wks then). such a hard time leaving! I was literally sobbing on my husband the night before and the day I flew out because I didn't want to be away from him. Definitely more clingy and lovey!!

RosyK · October 2015

Yes. I got that way after we lost our first baby. It started immediately and didn't let up until I was done being pregnant with our second daughter. I got clingy again with our third daughter, but it went away after she was born. I don't feel AS clingy this time, but we did find out we're having a boy, and most of the moms I've talked to who've had both boy and girls said ALL of their emotions were heightened so much more with their girls.... So I'm wondering if that has something to do with it too...

MrsBroughton15 · October 2015

Story of my life right now. I'm usually telling him to get out or I'm out with friends, lately all I wanna do is lay up with him while he rubs my belly lol. I gotta do something with myself! Hope this passes soon.

klantzer21 · October 2015

Ha ha ha I'm the exact opposite right now

gmj3 · October 2015

I adore my husband, but the last two weeks I've wanted to just punch him right in the face! Lol (not really) but he's hit every nerve in me...Nothing he does or says is right! I'm hoping these feelings pass soon!

kitteh81 · October 2015

I remember feeling blissfully in love and just couldn't get enough of my mister when I was pregnant with my first. And then watching him with her as a baby really made me fall even more deeply in love with him.

Right now we're just both so crazy busy and stressed dealing with grad school and work and the girls. I kind of just feel like punching everything in the face, DH included.

Melodyags · October 2015

I love my DH and love being around me but the last few weeks well him and everyone are just under my skin and I want my space. Really for no reason except I guess those darn hormones.

manniebeth · October 2015

Yep! I've never felt so in love with my fiancé before and I just need ALL the cuddles and love! I think it's normal. Hormones and then thinking that baby is a part of them. Oh gosh ❤️

katelin318 · October 2015

Right around when we found out we were pregnant, DH got switched from a day shift to a night shift. He does get two days off a week, but they rarely line up with weekends, so our time together is limited to a few hours in the evening on his days off after I get home from work, and a few hours in the afternoon on the weekend before he goes to work. It sucks, and I'm sure I'd be missing him even if I wasn't pregnant, but the timing and hormones certainly don't help. Usually I'm pretty busy and frequently make plans with friends independently of him, but lately with the nesting instincts kicking in and the whole getting tired at 9:30pm thing I've been finding myself just home alone a lot, and feeling super clingy toward him. Like, I have to actively remind myself not to get down in the dumps about it, and that he is working hard to help support our family and he loves me just as much even if we don't see each other as much. Luckily he doesn't seem to mind my clinginess

And I do have to admit, "absence makes the heart grow fonder" has felt very true for us. We really cherish the time we do have together and try to make the most of it. So I guess there's a silver lining!

ceds07 · October 2015

@klantzer21 and @gmj3 I am SO glad you posted I was feeling particularly guilty reading all of these lol. I love DH but this pregnancy I've definitely been more annoyed than not at him! Really not his fault, totally mine.

smushi · October 2015

Ummmm... nope. I don't want anything to do with him right now. I'm about as friendly towards him right now as a prickly cactus.

cnunes214 · October 2015

It was cute when my mom sent us some baby clothes the other day and he opened them while I was at work. It melted my heart when he said one of the outfits was cute. However (yup lol there's a however) he was acting like such a brat on Sunday because Comcast has been horrific since we moved and since the rep wasn't to his pace on the phone, he was having a hissy fit. Man did I want to hit him, but I held my composure! God forbid he miss a half hour of a football game on tv!

amyid · October 2015

I have never really been so physically distant - I'm tired, hurting, my back aches and I am just hungry all the time so cuddling up isn't high on my list, but my husband went away for 3 days last week and this self proclaimed mrs independent went into meltdown ! My husband was in an area in the mountains with very little cell reception and not being able to just text and get a reply quickly was awful - I'm getting attached !!! I think atleast for me with this baby ( our first child ) that the real sense of family and dependence has kicked, I definatly feel more reliant on my husband for things for sure
