Hormone Time!?

Question

I know that she can't help it and I realize and understand that but I feel like Satan and my wife have merged.

I've tryed everything to help her but she just doesn't want it. One minute I can touch her or be around her and the next I have to be on guard. It's insane! She's either yelling at God knows what or crying because something isn't right. Then when it's all said and done she wants to sit by me and acts like nothing happend. Of course I don't say anything but I want to say umm....yeah ok.

Theses mood swings are just crazy. I mean I knew they were coming but I thought they were suppost to go away.

Answer 1

oh boy-just wait, lol

Im at the end of my pg--days from delivering and I want NO ONE near me at all, lol

if she is near the beginning--the first trimester is bad for the mood swings, the second trimester should be a lot better--but once she hits her third--and then like the last 6 weeks--
LOOK OUT!

just go with it--or walk away, this isnt her fault--it is totally something uncontrollable.

Answer 2

Has your wife had her baby or is she still pregnant? Or is she not pregnant at all??? She could try evening primrose oil, the brand i have found to be the best is Efamol. It doesn't heat the oil so it doesn't change the properties of the product. If she's had her baby you might need to read up on 'Baby Blues' just to get a little bit more of an understanding of what might be going on. All in all it is wonderful of you to be so understanding thus far. Stick in there it won't take long & it's all worth it in the end.

Maybe you could try talking with her about how she feels & how you could help her. Remember when you're talking with her not to make her feel like she has 3 heads or that something is wrong with her, chances are she knows quite well how she's being but doesn't actually have what it takes at the moment to change it. When you've given birth or when you're pregnant your hormones are running absolutely rampant, so much so that it can often times be completely out of your control. You don't always understand what's going on let alone trying to explain it to someone else. I can tell you now that the stronger you are for her the better she will be. Look at it like this, you can't fight fire with fire.
In saying all this, i need to not neglect your feelings too. Some words that might help you when you're talking are, tell me how i can help you; help me to help you; help me to understand how you're feeling; you know i love you & if right now this is how you're feeling then that's ok, it'll just make me love you more.
I cannot stress enough how you being the strength for you both right now will make a world of difference. You sound like a remarkable man & i gaurantee you she will boast to her family & friends of how you were there for her all through this & there is no way she could've done it without you.
Good Luck Sunshine, will be thinking of you both!

Answer 3

Ya know what Joe, alot of that behavior can and SHOULD be controlled. I understand an outburst once in awhile, but not to the extent that you desribe.
She really needs to learn that she CAN control the way she acts even if she can't control the way she feels.
She's going to have another huge thing to get through after the baby's here. She's going to be living on very little sleep and taking care of a crying baby. On top of that, there will be weird hormone stuff going on . She might even get post partum depression. She's got to learn to grow up a bit and control her anger and her actions. She's going to be a mother!
I'm sorry you're going through this. I've got 4 kids and I never put my spouse through hell like that.

Answer 4

I know that your wife may be making you crazy; but you have to stand by her during this (and every) pregnancy to come. She needs your support. I don't want to tell you exactly what to do but here are some ideas... One, you could... should tell your wife that you want her to be happy and you are always there for her. That is what you want right? Two, you also could tell your wife that you will do anything to keep her happy... get her food,etc... You could also attend classes to help you understand how the pregnancy is moving along and so forth. Whatever you choose to do, I am confident you will make the right decision. Good luck and God bless you, your wife and your new baby. I hope your baby is going to be as healthy as can be. I am sure he/she will be beautiful.
Always,

Answer 5

You didn't mention how far along or how old this new baby is. Hormones can be off mark for a LOOONNNGG time after birth and during pregnancy. She might need to consult a doctor if they're out of control, which you sort of say they are.

Answer 6

i just asked a question about me and my hormones too!!! haha
my fiance has been going crazy cause i get soo mad and annoyed with the stupidest things, my dogs making noises, him leaving one dirty dish out of place, taking my car to work. i cry alot over pretty much nothing, commercials, friends talking about baby names. how far along is she? see, im only 5 wks. so its just the begining... now that i thiink about it i kinda feel bad for my fiance but its really out of our hands. there isnt anything we can do about it. i'll probably cry tonight for some reason who knows. its pretty normal and people on my answers say that it comes and goes. and the whole sit by you like nothng happened.. yeah thats me too haha im glad to know im not the only one though!
just be strong and good luck!
