January 2016 Moms

Ok, I'm officially pissed.

I've tried to start this discussion 3 times now and my huge swollen sausage fingers have deleted it twice after it was completely written!!!!!! The point to my discussion was the fact that I'm overly exhausted, in constant pain from my sciatic nerve, and pissy as heck. I can't even stand myself at this point because I'm so dang grumpy.

I got mad because Sprint txted me because they're giving away free selfie sticks at all the local sprint stores. I don't even know why that made me mad. I don't want a selfie stick.

I feel like I shouldn't be allowed to talk to anyone today because I'm afraid of what might come out of my mouth.

I'm so ready for LO to get here. Pregnancy isn't nearly as fun as all happy pregnant girls make it look like it is. I swear if one more women tells me about how "glorious" her pregnancy was I won't hesitate to throat punch her. I've been sick my entire pregnancy which had made it hard to gain weight (I've gained 12 lbs total so far) which also has me feeling grumpy because I NEVER feel good.

Anyone else getting more irritable as we close in on our due dates?

Re: Ok, I'm officially pissed.

  • Amen! I was so over tired and grumpy and out of sorts my husband basically told me I needed to call out of work today. So I did, and am currently still in bed wishing I had a butler or maid or something to bring me breakfast lol. I'm hoping that taking a day to relax and rest and putter around my house will make me feel more sane!

  • I hate to laugh at your expense, but this post cracked me up! Especially the selfie stick part hahaha I definitely have my irritable moments too though. I'm sure being so sick makes it that much more miserable. Hang in there, only a few more weeks :)
  • @scornwell717 honestly, when I read it after I had posted it I kind of chuckled to myself too. I'm such a cry baby and its all petty stuff but gosh! lol 
  • I'm kinda sort of glad I'm so done with being pregnant.  Its making me much less afraid of labor and I just want to get this baby out.  I do feel bad for those around me who are dealing with my irritability. 
  • I've definitely been more of a Whiney McWhinerson lately.  I'm getting a little tired listening to myself too.  Poor DH.

     

  • Oh my gosh I can so relate to this. I just want to say screw you world. I feel like I could throat punch anyone that looks at me the wrong way. I don't want anyone to even talk to me. Of course my belly is so obvious now that every stinking stranger wants to talk about it. They all seem to ask the same question, are you excited? I told my husband last night that I'm just gonna start saying no. I had a really good cry last night which I thought would help me feel better today but it hasn't. I just feel like evil and hatred are oozing out of me. I hate it! Can't wait for this baby to get here. I've got 5 more weeks. My DD came almost 2 weeks early so I'm praying this little boy is as nice as her, but if I judge by the bladder kicks and rib punches then I'm thinking he's not as nice. Lol!
  • Don't worry, I think this is normal! I'm so extra emotional these days. I seriously started crying watching a YouTube flash mob to Uptown Funk. Like seriously? I also got insanely angry at my husband last night for sort of jokingly insulting himself. Not me, or someone else, but himself. And I was MAD. I did apologize for being completely insane. I'm just ready to be done! Ask me after he's here, but I don't think I will miss being pregnant!
  • Extreme Crabass here too... I'm over it. I feel helpless because of my sciatic. My son is a year old (his doctor said the terrible 2's start at 1). He's into everything and pretty much being a whiney, mini jerk who refuses to nap or sleep, ever. SO is working a lot, but with that, he gets adult interaction that I don't. I'm just over it...
  • I'm one of those that get crabby when hungry so nausea wouldn't help keep that away! Add in lack of sleep and bah humbug :)
  • I can completely relate. I'm so agitated and angry so much of the time. I feel so sick and my hips hurt so bad and now I have to sit the majority of the day because I'm on modified bed rest. My poor husband gets the worst of it. My MIL is flying in Monday for 6 weeks (oh please help me). I'm feeling so stressed about her visit that I just get even crankier when I think about it.
  • My sleep situation and lack of iron is making me give up on life...I know I won't be able to sleep well after the baby is here and so it makes me mad the last couple of weeks I have alone is so crappy. At least my interrupted sleep after pregnancy I can sleep on my stomach and hopefully pee less. I have the flu so I have been in bed for a few days but I know If I was at work I would be super snappy.
    Also selfie sticks make me mad when I am not pregnant and so do texts from mobile companies. I would probably throw my phone if I got that text. Especially since I seem to get them either really early in the morning or really late at night.

  • Yep! Totally normal! I hate almost everyone except my kiddos and my kiddos at work. SO is okay but he walks a fine line and I end up telling him off all the time because of my hormones and how uncomfy I feel.
  • I am so irritable in these last few weeks I am suffering from nausea and insomnia that makes me worse everyday. Last night I asked my DH are you excited he said yes but he also said this time for whole 9 months I just did whining. although I want baby girl very badly but I am just over it no more babies for me.
  • I'm so glad I'm not alone. It's not that I'm really "grumpy" but I'm so whinney I almost can't deal with myself. I'm tired of the aches and pains and exhaustion. I just want my little man here so I can have control back over my body and play with my daughter without being miserable.
  • Broke out in tears during my older kids Christmas Paegent today...watching them sing and be all cute made my eyes turn into faucets (but I am a very quiet cryer so if people are nearby they normally never have a clue). It was happy tears...I think? Tbh I'm not one to be emotional even during "appropriate times", ESPECIALLY in front of another person let alone an entire gym full of parents and other random family members. I was so embarrassed when I caught a couple people just staring me down once they seen tears. Honestly, the kids were so cute and they all did such a great job and one minute I was smiling and cheering on the class, next minute I'm crying. I stopped myself as fast as I could but apparently it was not fast enough before some people had noticed. I am so sick and tired of being emotional! I just want to go back to being the strong, non-cryer I am and hold my baby and go back to living life not pregnant lol.
  • You are not the only one! I'm a FTM and I dunno why but I pictured rainbows and unicorns I guess bc of other women I have talked to told me about how much they loved being pregnant. I'm to the point where I hurt constantly and just miserable all the time. I'm also so freaking emotional it's crazy. I'm a huge animal lover and I've become even more passionate with it which I'm fine with meaning that I've called judges offices on 2 cases of animal abuse where they abuser "may" get off and express my dissatisfaction with the way the cases are being handled or in one case where the judge was advising the abuser on how to get the charges dropped. But then I get super annoyed and irritated with people to the point where it causes major rage in me. For example when my MIL posts a comment on someone's comment and uses exclamation points inappropriately. It really pisses me off for some reason. I'm just ready to get back to my normal self again.
  • I'm at the absolute peak of bitchiness! I hated everything about work today for so many reasons , I'm too pissed off to type it #throatpunch
  • I can so relate! This is baby number 3 for me and this time has been ruff! If one more person says wow you are so big to have 5.5 weeks left I might scream! I try to respect my elders but most of the patients I deal with at work average 80+. I literally don't know how much more of them saying rude things to me before I flip out!
  • A nap sounds amazing. :'(
  • @willislane I have the same problem with patients at work ! Most of my patients are in their 80s and up. They have no filter! I can't believe how many times I have been asked how much weight I have gained or told my face is bigger today ... Seriously !?

    I also started crying today at my daughter's Christmas concert. At least we look pregnant at this point so people can kind of understand. I hate when I'm overly emotional during the first trimester and no one knows I am pregnant.
  • I am so done. I'm cranky and exhausted. I've been sick the whole time and my pelvis is separating too much which is insanely painful. I have a 2 year old who is teething and I just want the whining to stop. Pregnancy is not pretty and if one more person tells me to enjoy it I will literally strangle them. I don't want anyone to talk to me unless it's to say you will take my DD so I can take a nap.


    Omg yes "enjoy your pregnancy" I hate this!! I have preeclampsia, my kidneys are infected- but not quite bad enough to have the baby, and I have a separated pelvis. How can I enjoy that? I have a hard time reminding myself not everyone experiences complicated pregnancies.
  • I totally understand. I'm 37 weeks with twins and absolutely miserable. I haven't slept more than 45 minutes to an hour at a time in a month, my body aches all the time, my hands and feet are swelling, and to top it all off, my 16 month old is having multiple meltdowns on a daily basis. I pride myself on being a fighter and a strong person in the face of adversity, but I've met my max. My babies are doing so well that the doc pushed out my induction date to the 29th from the 23rd. I simply don't know how I'm going to make it 12 more days... And then I have to deliver, recover, and figure out life with 2 infants and a 16 month old.

    Yes!! My due date is 14 days away. Throughout the entire first 7 months or so, I didn't really get extra emotional or moody. However, in the last month or so, I have been SO moody! So incredibly crabby, easily irritated, along with entire days spent on the verge of crying. As a matter of fact, in a previous post, I commented that one day I started balling after I spilt apple juice on my blanket. And my poor boyfriend. He keeps trying to joke with me like he always has. And it just pisses me off! And yes. All the women and their wonderful pregnancies..I cannot stand to hear about it. I have had a terrible pregnancy. I've been sick the entire time - I've gained a whole 10 lbs. And I have had what seems like every pregnancy side effect there is..and I certainly have NEVER felt like I was "glowing".. someone get this baby out of me!! :-)

    And I know some women have it worse, with a variety of pregnancy complications. I'm certainly not looking for pity of any sort. But pregnancy is in general just very, extremely frustrating!

    And someone, please, find a miracle that will help us sleep through all the aches and pains, heartburn, nausea, and so on and so forth!

    Edited because I accidentally posted before I was ready.
  • @Snoopylovesbelle "Amen" to take my teether so I can nap! My son just turned one. Molars are a blast, said no mom ever.

    @justaudge I feel ya (to some extent). I'm 36+6, but with only one baby and a 12 month old... that's been the lead-in to a vast majority of my meltdowns. He is into absolutely everything and knows he's faster than me. So uhhh, destroy my house, kid. That's cool. I'll clean up after you crash... If you crash. Ever.
  • I am so glad that you wrote this post... I am SO IRRITABLE lately!!! Like I get so pissed off over the simplest things and I am usually so even keeled. I have 22 days left and couldn't be happier about it!!! And I know I don't have more than 22 days because I have a scheduled induction on Jan 10. I have to consciously TRY to think before I speak because I don't trust what's going to come out of my mouth :(. Sleep patterns way off, hormones gone crazy, having to pee every ten minutes (and feeling like I have to pre again RIGHT AFTER I pee)... In choosing my stroller I SPECIFICALLY purchased the City Mini (rather than the City Select that has the adaptability to become a double stroller) because I have ZERO intentions of being pregnant again :/. I love kids and I can't wait to meet my son, but this entire process has not been fun...
  • I am 36+5 with twins and feeling the exact same way! I get on my own nerves most days with how grumpy I am. Thought my water broke today and got so excited thinking today might be the day it would be over... Guess we just have to hang in there a little bit longer..
  • Thank god I'm not alone in this! I'm 10 days out and SO tired of people asking me "how are you feeling?" - I feel fucking pregnant, that's how I feel. Or "how is it going?" to which I respond "I'm still pregnant, so there's that." While I rarely complain, my level of anger is at an all time high. My SO got me new socks for Christmas and when I woke up this morning he was wearing a pair of them... If daggers could have shot out of my eyes they would have and set him ablaze. You bought ME those. They are mine. Take them off. I fumed about it all day and then when he went to take them off before bed finally said "put those in my basket because they are mine and will go with MY laundry. You know, MY belongings"

    I'm sure he can't wait for me to be not pregnant just as much as I can't, haha.
  • My cats and dogs are about to drive me insane. They are all so hyper and I came home one day and my pug and chihuahua got into my chocolate because my husband trusted them and didn't kennel the Devils. They are thankfully alright, I was more upset about my boxes of candy being gone. On another note my husband talks to my mom and tells her that he thinks I am being dramatic when describing my stomach and back pains. I don't even like him going with me to the doctor because he thinks it's all some big joke. And when we watch birth videos on YT he says "it probably isn't that bad"!!!!! WTF?! I keep telling him that he won't be in the room while I'm pushing because he's immature. When she's about to come out he can but his comments annoy me. But right now he has a cold and he acts like the world is going to end.....MEN I SWEAR!!!!
  • We are all together in this one ladies! Today I had to go get my license plate renewed. I HATE the Bmv. Anyways, my mom says out loud how crabby I am, and I honestly didn't think I was even crabby today!

    And in super sick of people asking me how I am. I am fine! I promise! I appreciate the concern, but I hate that that is the only conversation I can have with anyone other than my husband.

    I went grocery shopping by myself today, and it was amazing to be on my own.
  • I keep getting annoyed at the people (AKA everyone) who ask, "Are you excited?" Like my reaction isn't happy enough for them or something. I always want to say no, even though it isn't true, just to see their reaction.
