extremely emotional, tired and paranoid...

[HannahsBaby]

Ugh what a day. Sometimes I wish people would just be nice, surely it takes a lot more effort to be nasty? I am mega emotional today. My mum rang me in tears todaay and just listening to her was very draining. Then hubby came home and had a rant at me for buying a few bits from tescos, he is pissed off about how much paternity pay he's going to get and took it out on me. And I'm trying to find out whose coming to my flippin baby shower tomorrow and some people have taken over 2 weeks to give me a simple yes or no... I don't mmind if they can't come but why can't they just let me know! Grrrr! It makes me wonder if I have done something to annoy them otherwise why wouldn't they get in contact

Or am I just being paranoid?

Tired and emotional?

also, I saw my friend and her 6 week old baby today and we had a lovely catch up, then as soon as I left she put a status on facebook Saying 'I don't know who I am anymore apart from being a mum' which made me feel like She wasn't herself aroound me as she seemed really happy when I was there, very confusingm

Anyone else feeling like this???!!!

I think maybe you are just being a tad hormonal hun. Resend a message to all the people who haven't replied yet simply stating that you are trying to finalise arrangements and would be grateful if they could let you know asap. Anyone who doesn't respond should just be considered as a no.

On the subject of your friend, she probably was genuinely happy when she was with you as she was enjoying some adult conversation with her friend which as a new mum is probably a break from the norm. I wouldn't read too much into her post as it is something I have heard numerous new mums say x

Hey, just read your update; I think we have days like that hun, I have days where I am feeling low, insecure and paranoid... it is all normal and to be honest pregnancy is draining on you. My OH sometimes will have a go at me for spending and I have to let it go over my head, otherwise I get really down about things and feel like he cares very little..

Some days you will feel down chick and other days you will feel great; your mum should be a little more considerate to your well being and not be crying down the phone to you, and if you are not coping with anything just say.. I can't deal with this today.. and men don't understand pregnancy at all.. !

Pregnancy tires you out both mentally and physically.. take care x

I think the hormones definately make us more sensitive to things but I can understand that your Mum phoning you in tears must be horrible at the best of times. I hope she is ok and you too. I know you mentioned on one of my threads yesterday that you're an only child and so, of course, you feel greater responsibility for helping your Mum out and don't have a brother or sister to fall back on. It's not easy, I know.

As for your hubby ranting on at you re how much money you spent - believe me, my husband and I have argued quite a bit in the last few months about finances simply because we are going to struggle like mad as soon as my SMP kicks in next month. It's a stressful time in many ways but it will all work out in the end for us all - I know it will.

As for your friend, I agree with Xcitedmum2be - she probably felt great when she was with you and then when she went home and was by herself again the old feelings came back. Definately don't take that personally and it could also be that she's embarrassed to admit that she's not finding it that easy being a new mum.
