Im nine weeks pregnant and I have been feeling really sick. Ive been a lil emotional and my boyfriend gets mad at me because he says that im whining all the time and its starting to annoy him. I say that its the hormones that have me very emotional all the time but he gets on me and says that it cant be that bad because im only nine weeks. He said because I read about my pregnancy and the symptoms that everything going on with me is all in my head. I dont want to push him away, but i really cant control my emotions have the time. Is he right or does he just not understand? and what should I do about him?

He is wrong and he clearly doesn't understand. What your are going through is very normal. I don't know what he read about pregnacy, but it contradicts everything I have read, heard, and expirenced. Pregnancy is a very emotional time, and feeling physically ill really doesn't help. He should be supportive of you. Maybe you need to find a friend of family member who does understand to talk to. Would your mom be a good choice?

The first trimester of pregnancy is usually the worse part because your body has to get used to all the changes that are happening. Your boyfriend needs to understand that there are alot of things going on with your body right now and you need his support. I am 6 weeks pregnant and totally understand. My husband keeps telling me that I act like I am 7 months pregnant but men just really don't understand what us women have to go through. Good luck with everything!!

He just doesn't understand. For me it was early in my pregnancies that I was the most unstable with my emotions and physical symptoms. I had a sensitivity to coffee smells and my husband would make it on the front porch for me. One day when he said he was doing it because I thought it needed to be done and not because I actually was more sensitive to smells, I got out the pregnancy book and made him read about how nasal passages and smell receptors change during pregnancy. Finally he believed me.

He is a jerk, thats all I'm going to say (well actually I'm gonna say more). He got you knocked up and now he is complaining about the consequences of it?? He needs to be there for you, pamper you, and understand what you are going through. He doesn't sound like a nice guy to me--do you really want to be with him forever and have your child grow up with him? He isn't good enough for you because he should treat you like a princess. There are many better and sweeter guys out there who will be more understanding than your boyfriend is. Good luck girl!

actually in the beginning is when you are going to feel most "hormonal" because ur body is releasing new hormones so ur body wont reject ur baby and etc... and ur not use to this hormonal change at first ,hence ur probably going to be most hormonal at this time, and tell ur bf he needs to be more supportive u dont need that stress cuz u need to be mentally healthy plus physically for the sake of this child u both brought into this world.. tell ur bf to read up on pregnancy articles! its the least he can do! good luck!

hon its normal to feel an be emotional and its not just in your head i have 6 children an everyone of them were different in carrying so its never in your head your body is trying too adjust and your boyfriend just dont understand but he needs to be more sensitive to too how u feel but u right dont say a lot to him bout how u feel he will one day come around to it just let him do wat he normally does an try not to bug him so much if u can but its alright to cry so cry til u feel better an never hold back its good to cry so go to your bedroom and just cry to u feel better cause its normal also try this an he will share your feelings if when he is laying down cross over him like u going across him an he will feel everything that u r going through just try it an u will see and he will share your emotions. smile

It's natural you should feel this way.Take your boyfriend with you,next time you visit your doc',or nurse,let them give him the facts.For sickness,try ginger.If you really can't eat this,try ginger biscuits.Lots of natural products at your local health shop.If your guy is impatient now,what's he going to be like when you have a new baby that cries through the night.Is your b.f going to leave everything to you? You need to really think hard about what's going to be best for you and your baby.

up until 12 weeks your hormones are the worst because they are adjusting to your body changing. the more your boyfriend goes on at you the mor stressed you will become meaning the baby will. men will never understand, your boyf sounds like mine.... nothing is real to them until the baby is born, then your body has to get back to normal more mood swings. good luck. x

Have your bf go to the doctors with you, and talk to the doctor about how you are feeling. Your doctor might be able to help your bf on whats going on with you and your body. Your doctor may even be able to give you some suggestions or med. without harming the baby. Good luck

He just does not understand. The bigger problem is he doesn't seem to want to understand!! I see he is your BOYFRIEND and not your husband. In some ways that might be good. You could kick him to the curb and wait for someone who truly loves and appreciates you.
Good luck!!
