How much should a husband put up with from a hormonal, pregnant wife?

Question

So during pregnancy our hormones are all over the place and sometimes it's a bit more than we can take. Is it an excuse to be more angry and emotional? Or should you be expected to still have 100% control all the time? I plan on seeing the doctor soon because my hormones have just gotten so out of control that my husband no longer wants to deal with me, which I feel is unfair. I have been lashing out at him and yelling at him though and I guess it's just too much for him. He left for the weekend to go party with his friends and I'm stuck here depressed and alone and feeling a little suicidal. I wouldn't do anything to myself because I love my baby but I need his support and he's not here for me. He knows I am depressed and feeling this way and he says he doesn't care. What can I do 😢

Answer

Seeing a dr is def recommended you should be able to still have some control

Lashing out on your husband is going to wear him down - imagine if it were the other way around

Giving him some space to cool off and also urself try and distract yourself with positive happy things

Answer

I kinda feel women use pregnancy hormones as an excuse to be a bitch to their men. I don't think it's right. I'm pregnant and hormonal right now and even when I'm upset with him or his mother 🙄 I have not once reacted outta control. I can tell when I'm extra sensitive and if he says something I just let him know, I'm hormonal and just so you know this is how I took that.

Answer

Probably a good thing he has gone away for a little bit, let him have some time to him self. The hormones are Shit and real lol but maybe now you should try control your self and deal with it differently, your not going to be pregnant forever so rather than push him away for good, change the way you do things. After babys born you will both probably laugh at how crazy you were at times.

Answer

I think its absolute shit that you're sitting at home suffering and he's out partying. You've recognized you have a problem with your hormones/anger and you're in the process of seeking help. If you had gestational diabetes or HD or some other pregnancy related issue, he would be expected to stick by you. In my opinion it should be the same with mental health or hormonal issues!

He needs to man the fuck up.

I'm so sorry you're having a rough time. I hope your doctor can help. Try to exercise, it can stabilizes emotions. Good luck ♡♡♡

Answer

I was a little crazy through my pregnancies too. When I knew I was going to lose it or I could feel it coming on I tried really hard to communicate that to my hubby. Let him know that you know it's hormones and you still love him and need his support. When you're not feeling out of control make it a point to spend time with him doing something he likes. If he sees your effort to make it better than he may feel like trying to be more supportive.

Answer

I got a therapist and a low dose Zoloft because I couldn't control my emotions. It has helped a lot. Yes I still have bad days but he tries to understand since they are not all the time. So maybe talk to your doctor. I did have blood work every month up to 30 weeks now I am 34. Everything has been good but I have other medical conditions for the blood work

Answer

Do you have any friends you could invite over? Explain to him what you just said. Maybe give him some space but let him know your sorry & that you love him. Spend some time with friends or family this weekend to help you! It'll be good for both of you
