Mood swings are so bad and I’m sad

Iv had multiple chemical pregnancies and one live birth of twins (2.5 years old), recently had a chemical in July. I’m currently 5 weeks 5 days and hcg and progesterone levels are great. But omg my mood swings are soooo intense this time around. I didn’t have them this bad with my twins. I’m feeling like lonely and depressed being pregnant for some reason. This was planned so idk why I feel like I’m missing out and feeling a little resentful.. especially after all my losses. I feel like I’m being ungrateful (sorry if that offends anyone I’m just being honest about my feelings) Anytime we get together with friends I’m in a horrible mood because everyone laughing and drinking and having a good time and usually I’d be fine not drinking but my mood swings are so bad I just feel like a stick in the mud. Me and my s.o are very close with our friends and all of our kids. We are one big family we do weekly dinners and get a sitter once a week to all go out and do something together. Well Saturday they all wanna go to Dave and busters and my mind immediately jumps to “great everyone’s gonna have a good time but me I’m just gonna be an angry B. And I feel like this all the time around everyone. I don’t wanna shut everyone out but idk how to get through my bad attitude. Does anyone else feel the same way? Like an angry moody stick in the mud?

Ah man! Moods are the worst! It can be so hard to get out of the funk and sometimes it's like I WANT to be grumpy. So confusing! Not much advice other than be kind to yourself and allow the emotions to come. I've found that if I try to stop the emotions or tell myself I shouldn't have them they just get bigger and last longer. Idk if you're telling your friends yet that your pregnant but if you know you'll be grumpy and don't actually want to go could you tell them you're needed a break but you'll be back when you feel better? You're not alone and your feelings are completely justified and normal.

I hear you! Had my first terrible mood swing just two days ago! My husband is the cook in our house and I should be so grateful, but on Monday, he came home all happy and was cooking while listening to music. This something he does often and it has never bothered me in fact usually I hang out in our kitchen and sing and dance with him, but I was just so irritated I wanted to scream at him to turn it off and be quiet! I just couldn’t take the extra noise and even though I knew I was being kind of ridiculous, but couldn’t turn it off. Had to go into another room for a while so I didn’t snap at him (for nothing) and when he asked what was wrong I straight up told him I was super cranky and I just knew I couldn’t be nice. Gotta agree with @babywiik you have to just let it ride out because you’ll mood swing back the other way soon! We’re all here to listen to you too!

I get terrible emotional issues during pregnancy. I’m working really hard this time to not just let it get out of hand. I put myself in time out when I know I’m just being grumpy for no reason, and it’s been working so far. I just go lay down and watch TV or today I took my littlest one shopping until I felt better.

Honestly, reading this made me feel less alone. I'm feeling very similarly and it sucks. I feel just generally really poopy and my mood is really negative, and I feel isolated because I can't talk about it really because most people don't know I'm pregnant, and for those who do I don't feel right complaining. I generally don't feel right complaining but I just kinda want to 😥

@paradise_8990 You do NOT have to pretend that pregnancy is all glow and roses. Do not let that nonsense keep you from feeling how you feel. You can love your babies and be grateful to have a healthy pregnancy and still complain. Pregnancy sucks. I hate it. I feel like garbage, my body is taken over, my hormones have gone wild, and my mental health suffers. I still chose to have a third baby because I love my babies and the suffering is worth them. But I will gladly complain to anyone who will listen to me.

@tuxielove93 I appreciate your comment so much, thank you ❤️❤️❤️ This is my third too and you explained how I feel EXACTLY, to the letter. I said after my first that I'd rather deliver 9 babies than be pregnant for 9 months, haha! And honestly, I think the fact that this is our third makes my guilt even worse, like I have two kids already, there's no sympathy for me this time, but it definitely makes it harder. I'm absolutely obsessed with my babies, that's why I want more, haha, this part is just hard 😥❤️
