I can't take these pregnancy mood swings! Can anyone relate?

Question

I'm 5 weeks and 4 days today, and I go from so many different emotions all throughout the day. I find everything wrong with daddy and let him down with saying mean things. 😕 Then I wanna love him an hour later. Its ridiculous; I don't think he can hold on for 8 months. This pregnancy seems to be pushing us apart because of this.. Help!!! Do any of you turn into Corella Deville? If so, how does your partner handle it?

Answer

Ugh I want to throat punch this one person for telling me " you can't uSe pregnancy as an excuse for hormones & acting mean"  seriously...  I will rip your throat out.  I just want someone to understand me right now!

Answer

Yes!!!! I have been so moody but he finds it funny because it isn't my usual behavior.. He runs around getting me food and going to the shops all the time, he has been so great and I feel so guilty when I snap. I just try to make an extra effort to thank him "ALOT" and tell him how much I appreciate his tolerance..

Answer

I bought him this book. It helped him understand what I am going through and why I cry about everything. Like when my charger won't reach the outlet or that chic filet is closed on Sundays haha I am now 8 weeks and my DH is amazing! He totally understands why I am so emotional.

Answer

I'm about to kill my husband as I type. 😳I think they ask stupid questions on purpose.

Answer

I am def a little moodier, but what has REALLY been pissing me off is my hubby blaming all of my behavior on me being pregnant. I feel like telling him...NO! It's just cuz you're being a dumb ass! Lol!

Answer

Yes! I will literally cry if he says anything I perceive as mean or insensitive even though it is nothing bad. He has been getting on my nerves so much more since we found out. It was starting to push him away and he was getting frustrated because he didn't understand why I was acting like that. We had to sit down and have a convo and I told him about how I was feeling and how I know I sound ridiculous but to be patient with me. He promised to, but he said if it doesn't getting better this may be our only child. Haha kidding of course. We both laugh about it now.

Answer

I am so cranky right now and I am normally a pretty patient person....forget that! Patience has gone out the window and it doesn't take much to set me off lately. I'm 6 weeks today. I keep getting "why are you so moody and cranky?" Hello?!?! I'm a huge dripping bag of hormones right now!! My mother in law said "you're only 6 weeks so why are you acting like you're so tired and already using hormones to make you moody?" Hello!! You have had 4 kids and you didn't notice being more tired in your first trimester (since my Dr says it's a common symptom especially since I'm on progesterone too) and being moody with these hormone surges? I wanted to punch her in the face!!

Answer

I was 5 weeks on Friday and have since been pissed off one too many times! Then cried about it! I feel hungover (clearly haven't drank) but ugh!

Answer

I had this problem but he is very understanding if I say I need my space he leaves me be and let's me come to him when I'm ready he just hugs me and says ok babe I'm here for you I'll make you a hot chocolate and while you relax here's the tv remote watch what you want I'm gonna pop out to my friends text me when you want me home. When I told him I feel depressed sometimes he became very understanding and when he saw how upset I was getting with being angry at him for no reason he saw I can't help it. Pregnancy can make you turn into a bipolar monster you just need to tell your partner what you need from them when you feel your gonna blow your top. If I didn't tell him how I feel sometimes I think I'd be on my own by now, it's all about communication

Answer

I'm having issues with this as well.  He doesn't understand what's going on with this whole thing, it's a first for both of us.  He's said he can't handle the hormones and mood swings and I'm only 6-7 weeks.

How do I help him to be more understanding and compassionate when it comes to my ever changing moods and wild hormones?  BTW... He's a super sweet and caring guy. He just doesn't know how to handle me being pregnant I guess.
