I am going through the same thing. It is so hard to deal with sometimes. One moment you're annoyed and angry with them, the next moment you feel bad for saying what you did.
What has been working for me is to just take a breather. If you are able, take a nap. If you can't, then walk around and try to expend some of that negative energy.
Explain to your husband that the pregnancy hormones are taking a toll on you and that you're having a hard time controlling your emotions. Remind him of the person you were before you got pregnant and that this is only a temporary situation. Tell him you love him and appreciate his patience with you and that you appreciate everything he's doing for you. Apologize if you've said anything way out of line and just let him know that you want to maintain open communication about what you are feeling because you don't want to cause a strain between the two of you.
Hopefully, he'll be understanding of that.
I just told mine that I was sorry for being a butt lately and that I am going to have to take some more time for myself to relax. I find that when I'm well rested I can handle things better.
I also told him "honey, you know who I am. I don't like this moody stuff because I can't control it and it makes me feel bad when I take it out on you, but I love you so much and am really grateful for your support. Just know that this only temporary. If you can handle me through this, you can handle me through anything."
You're not crazy.

You are not crazy. I promise. I went through the same thing both times I was pregnant. My husband went crazy as well. My mood swings were crazy. one second I was all happy and relaxed. then a minute later I would be crying. then I would be mad. then I would be depressed. then I would be happy again.
It is a perfectly normal response. What it is is your homones are out of whack. You will be fine in time.

that is perfectly normal dont worry i felt the same about my husband and my emotions were exactly the same all over the place if it gets to bad though maybe chat with your doctor about some anti depressents you can take them while your pregnant if it is really neccesary and dont worry i have four kids and your emotins and everything do go back to normal after birth just explain to your husband how you feel and that it is uncontrolable at the moment reasure him you do love him and unfortunatly they can only uderstand to a point but youll make it hang in there it will get better

I know exactly how you feel. Last night I was sending hate text messages to my baby's dad and then apologized and ended it with a joke .... that's just the rollercoaster thats called Pregnancy. I'm sorry youre going through this .. maybe you can share some articles with your husband on this matter, so that he knows it's not just you. Hopefully he understands .... my sons dad just says "Look at how youre acting...youre gonna be a horrible mother" if your husband is being supportive..try to remember that when you feel like flipping out on him, maybe it'll calm you down.

your not getting crazy thats quite normal to want your husband by you all the time at the special moment and emotions that can be the homones your body is producing to accommodate the fetus your carrying that is normal your body is working hard at the moment to adjust it will calm down later on just be there for each other.

no your not getting crazy, i went through the same thing when i was pregnant with my twin boys. its just your hormones are going crazy, and its noting you can do about it. just try o keep your stress level down, and explain to your husband that you love him and hes just going to have to deal with it. i know your emotional, but try not to make everyone dislike u through out your pregnancy, like i did. its a beautiful thing to be pregnant, but all those emotions will drive u crazy........ good luck ...
and congratulations on your soon to be new edition to your family:-)

hello there depression comes with being pregnant you have your up moments and you have your down moments but you are usually depressed alot of the time unless you get alot of rest and try to relax too. Try going to the library and getting some relaxation tapes to help relax your mind and body they work and your husband will love you for it too.
