Just say "Hey, sorry about the other day. It's just that sometimes my hormones are raging and I can't control it very well. I hope you don't take it personally."

You really should apologise (blaming it on the hormones of course!) but also ask that she hold off on the advice until you've fully grasped the idea that you are actually pregnant. Even though this pregnancy may be planned, there's still a sense of "oh sh!t I'm pregnant" for a while, and at the same time the idea that it still doesn't feel real!
I'm 10 weeks too but still don't feel its real even though I've got horrible morning sickness!
The other thing, which friends and family have warned me about, is that EVERYONE will have an opinion on YOUR pregnancy no matter how well they know you or what their level of experience is - just nod and smile though you may be seething inside!

Firs of all maybe she was in the understanding that you have hormones that are going out of control and may not have giving it another thought. if this ended up in a really bad way. buy her a box or rose's chocolates and a little sorry card I say these as they are nice to give for a thank you or sorry and not all that expensive you may have some other type of thing where you are. I would take them to her and give them to her explain to her about what happened and that you are so very sorry and also say that you have hormones out of control. If she is a good friend than I am sure she will understand.

The thing that annoys me is when people who do not have children always has advice or opinions about what to do or when to do it. I do not blame you for having an attitude because she should not be irritating you. She does not even have the experience with children.
But you could apologize and let her know that you are experiencing mood swings and if you need advice you will asks her.

Maybe you reacted that way for a reason. Is she not a good parent herself? I try to stay away from this old friend of mine cuz she always wants to give people advise and scare them .. when she doesnt know what the heck she's doing herself. Just explain to her that youve been moody and emotional lately...maybe give her examples of other things youve flipped out on this week so she can get a better understanding.

i love ur question! i've had the same problem but i never suck up my pride and apologize, so call right NOW! dont' let time go by or it will be worse. chances are she will be caught off guard and accept the apology. maybe u should spend a little less time around this friend until ur second trimester when ur hormones calm down.

im sure her being a mother (giving you parenting advice would suggest that) then she should understand, but simply let her know you meant no harm, just those pesky pregnancy pms symptoms

Just apologize and blame the hormones. You can use that one for months!
