Forum : Pregnancy

Hi, its all normal due to raging hormones! I was the same before I found out I was pregnant with my son, my husband was REALLY irritating me (more than normal lol!) and I was snapping at him and bursting into tears for no reason. I don't normally get pmt or anything and am a really laid back person so I should have twigged I was pregnant but I didn't!
Normally it settles down a bit after the first trimester although some women can suffer from mood swings all the way through, so sit your boyfriend down and explain to him that its hormones and that you don't mean it and he's going to have to develop a thick skin for a few weeks (or months!!) and not take it to heart, and that despite shouting at him you still love him!! If he's getting on your nerves try to walk away and have five mins before you blow too. Hopefully it will pass in a couple of weeks. You could try telling him that when you are in full rant if he just gives you a cuddle or makes you laugh it may diffuse the situation (and then you'll probably end up sobbing instead!).
Congratulations :-)))xx

congratulations!
i can only echo everything buffy has said. the other thing you could do is find a book on pregnancy written specifically for men. my partner had one when i was pregnant with our first. it covered what they can expect to happen to the women in pregnancy and coping with the woman and newborn right through the first year. my other half made sure he was really involved with both our pregnancies and he did read the book so knew what to expect and to ignore me when i went all psycho pregnant lady on him! i'm 31 weeks (tomorrow) with our second baby and he has fortunately remembered to ignore me!

i am 18 weeks pregnant and i find mt temper gets the better of me i dnt realise i am doin it somtimes but i have a 5 year old and 3 and running around after them all day tires me out i am tired and cant wait to go to bed somtimes lol
