Mood swings before labor?

Question

The emotional break downs are getting real, 39 weeks today and I just feel like shit. I seriously feel like I'm about to start my period. I'm unbelievably cranky which I haven't been my entire pregnancy. I cryed my eyes out this morning because I was starving and wanted breakfast but I was to tired to get out of bed! I haven't acted like this during any of my pregnancy. I've had 3 days in a row of just feeling crappy, I don't know how I'm going to keep this up until baby gets here! Did anyone else notice a severe change in mood before labor started? I just don't feel myself at all.

Answer

40 & 4 and I've been super moody but no baby I wouldn't continue getting your hopes up about what will bring the baby... I've been doing it and it does nothing but make me nuts

Answer

I'm a FTM ... Don't worry I've been feeling the same thing. My dyson vacuum broke yesterday..today I thought my dryer broke but it was just the knob to turn it on that broke. Let's just say lots of little melt down crying hahaha I've just been trying to distract myself. Watching netflix, reading books, taking baths, naps, cleaning, walking. Anything to keep my
Mind off of stuff.. Otherwise I seem to just be sad.

Answer

39+3 and I am suddenly SUPER emotional... Total crybaby over here.  I feel giant, I'm worried about my post baby body, I'm upset that my dog doesn't like a toy I bought her... I am literally just one big black cloud of irrational upset.  That being said, I have been able to find some awesome ways to get over it and today have had a great day.

I have been able to overcome by planning lots of fun things to do like a beach day yesterday, brunch with friends today, bachelorette viewing party tomorrow etc.  I literally have something planned for every day this week that is fun and exciting so I'm less focuse on counting down to labor and more focused on the next fun thing.  💁

I've been like this since I hit 37 weeks....cried this morning for no reason...then couldn't stop crying...then everything was making me cry. 🙄 Feel like I want to go out and have fun but then I  don't want to go anywhere or socialize or do anything. I was never like this with my son so it's so weird to me. Im having a girl so I just keep thinking it's different hormones. I sure hope it means labor is soon

Answer

I hope so! I am 40+4 and today I flipped out because my brothers fiancée picked the most hideous, uncomfortable, and dis functional dress for me to wear as her bridesmaid. I was furious - beyond irrational. Over a dress that I have to wear once.

I hope that means baby is going to arrive soon

At 38 weeks I'm emotional, I'm feeling like I just wanna be taken care of and loved on. Idk what it is because I'm usually independent . My emotions are all over to the point I want the baby out.

I have been feeling like this for the past week and I was perfectly fine hormonal wise during my pregnancy and I'll be 39 weeks tomorrow.  For you and I I'm hoping this is a sign labors  on the way.
