Help me not be such an asshole

[namasteak]

I felt the same way on first Tri and the last few weeks of pregnancy. Forcing myself to pause before talking helped.

[chickadee77]

This was me in first tri. I just was honest with my H, and let him know if I was in a particularly nasty funk so he could steer clear.

[karinothing]

I also had no patience it was horrible. I just felt angry all the time. It was mainly first tri though

[jessnpaul]

I was an angry b*tch in early 1st tri... I mellowed out in late 1st

[SallySparrow]

I was an asshole all of 1st tri. I was a little better in 2nd. Now I'm in 3rd and feeling cranky all the time again. Pregnancy with a toddler is rough.

[winecheery]

Yeahhhh this was me first tri this time. I was really emotional while pregnant with DD, so being edgy and irritable was so weird to me as a pregnant person, that my OB and I joked it's probably because I was having a boy, and the testosterone was getting to me.

Lo and behold...

[Marmee]

This is part of why I never recommend the 2yr old age gap...I had no patience & was mean to my poor toddler. I also nearly divorced my DH a couple times pg--I got so angry over stuff in hindsight was minor. So I guess normalish to me.

[luckyno7]

My emotions were all over the place my 1st tri. My H wanted to live somewhere else those first 13 weeks. I remember standing in the middle of the room crying because "you can't just go to a store to buy clothes". I needed maternity shorts that day.

It did get better.

[nachos]

I was ridiculously angry in first tri, but it did pass. For me, it didn't even come back at the end (I got weepy instead. Crappy time to be finishing grad school, btw).

It does get better, and is normal. I used to put myself in time out when I got really bad. It was like I could hear the horrible things coming out of my mouth and just could. not. stop.

It will pass.

[dcn]

Yeah normal. It came and went. Came in 1st tri, went for 2nd and then 3rd was pretty much a shitshow. Hang in there. Getting through Pregnancy with a 2/3 yr old and no alcohol is one of my greatest achievements lol.

[skib]

OMG, I haven't been on much lately, so I missed your news! Congratulations!!!

First tri was horrible for me. It lessened after that but it's really bad still. It doesn't help that my employees are idiots and my husband has decided he needs to either clear his throat or sick his snot back into his nose every 60 seconds. This is improved from the every 30 seconds he did it last month.

[ellipses84]

I suffered from severe "morning" sickness my entire first pregnancy and this one is no different. I was definitely feeling like a crappy wife and mother for first tri. I'm still horribly sick often, but I am much happier and less bitchy now that I'm in second tri.

[kdubs923]

Hating my husband, the air he breathes and just the look on his face was my first sign to take a pregnancy test.

I started to like him more as the pregnancy progressed, worsened again in 3rd tri and now I like him mostly.

[noodleskooze]

I would break down over the curtain thing, and I'm not pregnant. So you're ok.

[yellowbrkrd]

Yep, I am extremely ragey this time around. It sucks because I'm aware of it and still can't shake it.

[gibbinator]

I worked at a call centre when I was pregnant with ds1. My quality and customer satisfaction scores suffered greatly during that time. I'm normally the most patient person, but when pregnant with him I just raged inside.
It wasn't nearly so bad with ds2.

[jssymom14]

Let me grab a seat on this shitty ride. I feel bad for DD because we are together a lot a few nights a week and all day Saturday. Her nighttime routine has gone to crap and she won't go the f to sleep when that is all I want to do. DH knows the minute he walks in door, she is all his and as he says, I go to bed and the off button switch hits and I am out.

[patbutcher]

Yesterday I got an email notification that an Amazon order that should have been delivered Friday had been delivered. I rushed to the porch - nothing, ran to mailbox - nothing. I was so irrationally pissed that Canada post had lied to me that I started crying and threatening to burn shit down. I was ranting about how the mailman was sitting at home with my package and lying to everyone about making deliveries when really he was at home watching movies.

H just sat here watching me in wonder.

About 10 minutes later the mailman knocks with the parcel.

I don't have the first tri excuse but my anger is definitely not good this pregnancy. I hate it.

[pinotgrig]

I'm right there with you. My day consists of struggling through getting out the door in the am, struggling through work, struggling through pick up/dinner/bath/bedtime, and then spending the evening vegging on the couch/napping. These quiet, lazy evening hours are all that's getting me through right now, lol. L

Can you send dd to your parents for a few days? We did that recently and it was glorious. We're doing it again this coming weekend again.

[Deleted]

Serenity now?

[booboo173]

Yeah I am much angrier this pregnancy. DS doesn't bother me but h and my dog drive me insane

Yeah. There's a good chance I'd do that not pregnant too.

[lizlemon19]

I was crazy. between being tired and sick, going off my antidepressant, a new job, hormones, lack of alcohol and caffeine, I was not fun. I called my son an idiot once and felt awful. I ended up going back on my AD 3rd tri.

[momof2boys]

When I told my husband I was pregnant he said "thank god, I was wondering if you were pregnant or had turned into a bitch the past few weeks." I was horrible with my first, although I blamed it on stress. Throughout the entire pregnancy we were told our baby might not make it so I was resentful I couldn't have that happy pregnancy I dreamed about. I remember rolling my eyes at a client...something i've wanted to do in the past but would never do, but this time I just couldn't help it. I was also hyperthyroid and starving all the time and I get HANGRY! With my second I wasn't as bad in general but could be very short with those who were around me a lot (husband, toddler, mother).
