Changing moods

mood swings pushing my partner away

hi im pregnant with identical twins.I'm diabetic and finding it difficult to keep my sugars at the right level. My problem is when they go up its gives me terrible mood swings and I feel that it's pushing my partner away.I snap at him for no reason and dont know how much more of it he will put up with. I'm getting help from the diabetic team but its difficult cause every time i eat i'm sick which sends my sugars all over the place anyway. can anyone offer some advise. I really don't want to lose my partner.

Hi hun, expalin it to him, sit him down and tell him how you feel, if he's a good guy he'll hang in there with you !!, lots of luck getting your sugar levels sorted xxx

i snap at my partner without medical excuse! pregnaancy is a tough enough time without having to cope with all that you have to.does your partner realize this?putting up with your moods is something that comes with life and when your twins are born it will all be worth it for him and you.if he is a good guy he will be holding your hand when you give birth.your doing really well,dont be so hard on yourself.

i beleave mood swings are part of pregnancy i'm always snapping at my partner and felt exactly like you do that i was going to push him away but we sat down and talked everything through and now it is fine he has reasured me that everything is fine and that he understands that sometimes i am going to snap at silly little things so i would say try that sit down and chat with your partner and take things from there

Same here - I am usually quite a reasonable person and my partner and I hardly ever argued before I fell pregnant, but the other day we had an enormous row about what music to listen to in the car and he told me to stop acting like a spoilt child - which I will openly admit I was.

Whenever I snap or feel that I have been unreasonable I just apologise and acknowledge the fact that I know I caused a row for no reason and he is always really undertsanding.

I think that if us woman have to go through all the sickness, tiredness and pain, the least they can do is be a punching bag when we need to release some tension.
