oh!! and...major preggy mood swings!?

Question

As I asked before about barfing 24/7--
This pregnancy is so unlike my pregnancies with my son now 8 and daughter now 4. Btw, I seem to get pregnant- like every 4 years! If I get pregnant before the 4 year mark- I have a miscarriage. Weird, huh?! (okay that was random- just thought i'd share that! lol)

Anyway, I have major mood swings (which i never had before). I want to murder my bf, especially. I mean, he'll say something that i don't like (and it may not even be something bad) ..and I'll start yelling at him, cussing at him, and sometimes nearly wanting to beat him up!
I'm normally a sweet person. So, it bothers the hell out of me that i've become an total biatch! I find myself saying things like, "I wish I never met you, then I would have never gotten pregnant... or stfu! this is NOT your baby!!!'
I know those things hurt him but it makes me feel better.

It's getting so bad-- it's messing up our relationship.

Is this normal or am I psycho??!

thanks,

s

thnx taz!

twins??!
::faints::
lol ...

I love him- I really do..I mean, he accepts my 2 kids from my previous marriage. Yeah, must be the hormones. I work a full-time- strenuous job and have issues with my ex-husband (trying to take full custody of my kids for no reason!) ::sigh::

i'm gonna take it easy this weekend.

Answer 1

Go and speak with your doctor. You may also want your bf to attend as well so he can hear first hand what the doctor has to say. Also, maybe your feeling over run - call in the troops girl, start asking family and friends to give you a hand. That might help ease the stress and make this pregnancy go smoother.

My sister was this way during her pregnancy to the point of being depressed. My mom took her to the doctors, although there was nothing he could do, he said to keep an eye on her after the birth as she would be at a high risk of post-partum depression. Thankfully with the support of family and friends this did not happen.

Good Luck, Congrats and All the Best to you.

Answer 2

I was moody when I was pregnant but not that bad. You need to take a step away when you feel you are getting mad, go for a walk, go swimming for a hour at least you have your boyfriend to look after your other kids so you can have time out. My boyfriend left me because I wouldn't have a abortion! Make the most of your family speak to your midwife about it sooner rather than later, you need some help. Your hormones may be too high or you may need a little extra something. Pop to a health food shop and ask them, I always found them really helpful.

Answer 3

Okay girl time to take a deep breath and take some 'me time' in the bath tub with a good book or some music on low volume to calm down first. Maybe have your bf take the kids somewhere for the day you can be left alone for a while and start feeling like a woman again.

Now when you are finally able to relax really think about how you are feeling and what makes you upset. (writing it down in a journal might help turst me on this one) Then start to ask yourself why you are feeling this way. Don't be general make certin things that are bothering you. Is it that you are not getting the help you need? Money issues? Are the kids getting out of hand and the thought of having another worring you? Do you feel like your not 'you' any more. Try to think everything out without distractions. Like I said before starting a journal helps but don't tell yourself your going to write in it everyday that can later discourge you. And don't worry if you don't write often just write when you want to.

Once you have your thoughts sorted out talk to your bf in alone and tell him everything you been feeling in a calm way. Tell in advance that you just want to let him know how you feel so you can both work it out together. DO NOT ACCUSE HIM OF ANY THING in this conversation. This could cause him to get deffenceive and this can and up getting you upset as well. There may be something that you have been holding back thats making you frustrated.

If you still feel like something is wrong or you need someone else to talk to seek out a councler or psyc that works with pregnant and married women. Just remember that they will not judge you but you must be honest with yourself on what you are feeling. Check to see if you health insurance covers this or seek a pregnancy help center and ask if they have anyone avaliable to help in you situation.

Just remember that your hormone levels are also going crazy on you.

In the mean time to help you relax try breathing exercises and yoga for pregnant women. Exercise brings up the level of hormones that make people happy. Kind of like chocolate. Plus its good for you and your baby. Not to mention it may help with morning sickness, just keep thoughs crackes handy you may want to try your fav hard candy to suck on it helped me.

Answer 4

NORMAL AS NORMAL CAN GET! I was the same way when i was pregnant even a while after. Like you said...i am also usually a sweet caring person but when i was pregnant i used to be mad at my bf all the time and everything he did was wrong to me...but my advice to you is...talk to him..let him know its not him its just you are preg...cuz if you dont talk to him to let him know u really care about him and you yell at him instead of telling him u do love him and care about him and thats its only th ehormones right now he may end up leaving or he may stay but start to think that everything he does is wrong

Answer 5

Every pregnancy is different, dear. Have you tried taking walks or doing some nice exercises to calm your nerves? Talk to your doctor to ask about safe alternatives to yelling at your boyfriend no matter how fun it is to you at the time. If you still love them and you're hurting him then do you really love him?

Answer 6

I had a style of issues as quickly as...it replaced into continually blue! human beings prevented me like the plaque...I had no theory why, until eventually i found out that people who positioned on a temper ring and it turns blue are possessed via the devil.....hmmmmm, fancy that! on the different hand, at the same time as I wore the hoop, bums asked me for no longer something! So possibly it wasn't so undesirable afterall. :-)

Answer 7

holy crap thats crazy. maybe since you're older then your other pregnancies its having a different affect on your body and hormones. Check with the doctor to see if there is anything you can take.

Answer 8

I just want to reiterate what twinkletoes said. Even tho mood swings are common in pregnancy, please keep your doctor informed about them and be vigilant for signs of postpartum depression. Your doc can guide you with that. Your boyfriend needs to me educated on this, too.

Answer 9

maybe it's twins.. uh oh lol
your chances of twins goes up with age and with subsequent pregnancies and the "side effects" of pregnancy are worse.. have you had an ultrasound? lol

Answer 10

Completely normal!! Girl you got soo lucky not having the mood swings and morning sickness with your other pregnancies, i had them with both of mine!! Good luck, and congratulations!
