Mood swings

[Wellburn88]

Hi all,
So i hope this is due to hormones, but lately i am getting so snappy with my husband. Mainly with his tone and how he talks to me, its not terrible but enough to set me off. The slightest bit of sarcasm or anything and i am so irritated, but when i try and explain why i am irritated and ask him to stop, i dont feel he gets it.
I am in the early stages so hope these do not continue.
Anyone else like this or am i being the moody cow bag.
I may also note that i was an occasional smoker and i dod like a glass of wine at the weekend. Stopped now but dont know how else to calm myself down when i can feel my stress levels build :/

I know your feels! I'm in the early stage too and originally thought I was just moody because my period was coming, turns out it's not because I'm pregnant.
I've been pretty nasty lately to my partner even though we live apart and I'm also going through nicotine withdrawal having quit as soon as I found out. You are definitely not alone and if he loves you he'll get over himself and stick by you! I've found eating to be my comfort or exhausting myself with walks and tons of cleaning and then I'm to tired to argue.
Maybe not the best answer but good to know I'm not the only hormonal one!

Hi, congratulations
Its reassuring to know its not just me. I feel a little more settled now as i too was quitting smoking and my res wine at weekends. I dont feel as stressed but there are still moments where i get anxious. I dont think men understand the hormonal changes woman go through because there is no physical change, they just see us as being argumentative or nagging, they don't realise that they too need to change their behaviour at times to allow for these changes and be more supportive, or is that just my thinking lol

I’m coming into my 29th week and my hormones are getting crazy.. i find myself getting more and more sensitive to stupid things and along with feeling out of control of my own body and worrying if I’ll be a good mom just intensified my hormonal swings and I don’t know what to do with myself because it’s causing much grief in my relationship, I do too wish he knew what I was going through and wish he knew how delicate this situation is some days.. I’m glad I’m not alone.

The moodiness settles down around 12 weeks when your placenta is up and running, then it steadily gets worse from about 24 weeks until you are an absolute nutcase at the end lol x

If only males could share the hormonal load right!
I can see my problem will be that i have no filter LOL! My first child was 10 years ago and I've done it all alone until her dad and I reconnected, I'm so up and down already feeling like he has no say because I've done it all but at the same time I'm so loved up and want to let him in.
I'll be spending alot of time outside walking/gardening and biting my tounge instead of ripping him a new one for no reason I think

Just a semi update.. my hormones are only going to get worse at the moment.. having a slight breakdown and feeling claustrophobic in my own body today..my doctor rang me a couple of hours ago to ask how I was feeling after my date scan as I was in shock being pregnant, only to drop a bombshell and tell me I'm having twins. I feel like it's a joke or something, I'm having a panic attack. I was scared before with having a 10 year age gap between children but 2 babies at the same time.. I'm just thinking whaaat..

This sounds like me!! I know I’m doing it but I cannot stop. I don’t know how he’s coping with me right now x

Hi all, it is reassuring to know it is not just me and i am sorry you are all going through this too.
Yes if males could share the hormones amongst other things that would be great haha.
An update....so the arguing was getting worse to the point we really needed a sit down talk. I also got back up in the form of his older sister who had a chat with him, as she has had 2 kids i felt she could be the voice of reason with him. I also found some links online that i shared with him to read. They were male friendly and explained exactly what us woman go through while pregnant and what a man can do best to support us.
So far so good i have to say. I think thr message was recieved.
My husband is a lot more helpful around the house now, and i tell him when i feel my mood is low so he is aware prior and can avoid any triggers i may have that make me want to rip his head off
