I am 23 weeks pregnant with my first child and I am finding that I am getting really upset and emotional. Myself and my partner are arguing more than ever and it seems to be starting to hurt our relationship. In the mornings i generally feel fine and its usually in the afternoons/evenings that I get really upset. I originally thought it was down to tiredness but its happening more and more often. I really dont know what to do? I was thinking about going to the doctors but I dont know if I can spill all my emotions out to my doctor. I have tried talking to my partner about how I feel but I feel like I am annoying and boring him, so I keep it all bottled up. My partner has kids from a previous relationship, but I am finding it hard to talk to him about how I feel even though he has probably heard it all before!! somebody help please?

Come on chick don't worry too much. Every pregnancy Is different and hormones and emotions can be a total pain. Everything sounds normal to me, it is possibly down to tiredness, any chance of a little kip to try and keep the moods at bay?
You need to talk to your oh and explain how confused you feel about these silly hormones and that it's somthing you'll both have to roll with. Don't brush how you're feeling under the carpet as unimportant just because your oh has kids with someone else. You're different and I'm sure your relationship is different too. Not talking about things will make things worse. Explain that it could be like this for a while and he's gonna have to have thick skin for the time being and not to take things personally.
Hope you feel better today.

I've been very teary about EVERYTHING and sometimes I just cannot stop myself from crying but maybe run yourself a nice bath and cuddle up to your OH and spill the beans - tell him how rubbish you feel sometimes so he can understand. My partner also has a child from a previous relationship and I completely understand how you feel about not wanting to talk to him because he's heard it all before, but you just have to remember that he loves you and cares about you but he can't try and help you if you don't tell him how you're feeling.
I hope you feel better soon!x

I had a complete mini meltdown at the weekend over something very trivial and spent 3 days in tears for no real reason! Hormones are a nightmare at the best of times, and tiredness no matter how slight won't be helping!
As the others have said, please do try to speak to your OH - you're in it together and it won't be plain sailing and he does have a duty to help you out in any way he can, even if that's just listening! Bottling it up will only make you feel worse.
If you don't feel you can speak to your doctor, could you speak to your midwife?
