So may best friend is happily pregnant and I don't know if it's her hormones that is changing her attitude, but she is driving me UP THE WALL! Why the change of attitude and why is she getting on my nerves so bad? I've never been pregnant so I wonder if it's hormones or what not that is making her crazy. And what can I do to politely let her know how she is treating me???

When I was pregnant I freaked out on lots of my friends for stuff that wasnt as big of a deal as I made it out to be, I was way too hormonal and it sucked. By the mid part of my pregnancy I had isolated myself from a lot of people because they got on my nerves before I was pregnant, so during my pregnany I just couldnt stand to be around them. It will pass, but be careful how you let your friend know she is making you crazy, she herself is feeling crazy and she just might go off on you. Just politely let her know that she has been acting differently and maybe at times mean toward you and though you understand she is having a lot of hormonal issues, you wish she would consider your feelings more.

It's probably just her hormones, or maybe she is scared or stressed about having a baby, and about how much her life is going to change. Maybe she's having a hard time and is afraid to say anything. Whatever the reason, I would tell her how happy you are for her, but that she seems a little "edgy" and not like herself, and ask if anything is wrong. I wouldn't tell her she's driving you crazy..she's probably extra sensitive and it might hurt your friendship. If she keeps it up, maybe you could try to cut back on your time with her until she has the baby!

It's hormones. She probably has the best of intentions and doesn't realize what she's doing, but pregnancy can do interesting things to your brain chemistry. It makes you forgetful, and your mind wanders constantly.
If you call her on it, you may lose a friend. She literally is that hormonal right now.
Wait it out. Pregnancy doesn't last forever. She'll be normal again.

Hormones make pregnant women bonkers. It's like PMS but worse.
But it's not just the hormones. She may also be stressed, even though she's happy - she has a lot of planning to do to prepare for this child, and anticipation of anything can get you wound up.
You can be blunt with a best friend, if necessary. Just say, "I know this is a really exciting time for you and I'm really happy for you. I love you, but I feel [name your emotion] when you [name the behavior that bugs you] and we need to talk about it. I don't want this to hurt our friendship."

The world is revolving around her right now in her own mind. It may be hormones and then again it may just be the new her. She is consumed with all the new things that are going on with her body and inside her. Just explain to her that you feel left out and you don't understand what she is going through

It's the hormones. I was the most upbeat, happy-go-lucky, everything in the world is great pregnant lady. I thought the world was so perfect and no one had any reason to ever be grumpy. Trust me, that changed after she was born. It's her happy hormones. Give her time to level out.

It's the hormones. My sister called me the "pregnant pschyo *itch" when I was prego. My friend was just pregnant, and she said some really rude things to me over the course of her pregnancy. If she says something else, just say "wow, those hormones are really taking a toll on you huh?" Hopefully she'll get the point.

im not really defensive, but people don't know me so they shouldn't judge me on one aspect of my life like i am sure you know i was 14 when i had sex i was and still am in a loving relationship, 4 years on, and yes we are still together, married no, but am i evil no, do i have morals yes, I don't have any STIS or anything and have had my hpv jab obviously i know i am still at risk of cervical cancer but so are many others your right relationships between teens are minorities but it happens i know 3 people in long term relationships still, and ones that did have sex were together for a couple of years many adults that engage in sexual activity are not in a relationship. I do not regret my choice,i love my boyfriend, and no i don't think i am going to hell, i do understand why others may not understand it, but I don't know why people judge hope this helps. Edit-also we are careful i have never been pregnant-if i get pregnant it would be a failure of my birth control because i am very careful. And i do love him really so i don't look back on my relationship and think oh dear, i was a young teen when we got together (14) he was 16 and now i am 18 (an adult and he is nearly 20, we have matured together, sex is part of our relationship but it is not our whole relationship.

believe me! hormones can make everybody in the room nuts.
especially in the first trimester, but some are bad the whole
time. they are probably making her nuts too. let her know
you understand but pull back when it gets too much for you.
be prepared to be a friend afterward too. some women are
even worse after delivery. if she turns out to be one of them
she will need a friend more than ever then.
