I'm 36wks 1 day pregnant with my first and getting more and more irritable by the day - especially with my fiance. Even when he is just talking these days it can really really annoy me and i just want to tell him to shut up... or failing that hit him on the head with a baseball bat! (LOL! I wouldn't... well i don't think i would...).
I bite my tongue alot - its not like he DOES anything to deserve me being so b*tchy... i mean what am i irritated at? His mere presence alot of the time... and thats obviously not HIS fault but its getting harder and harder to stop my irrational self.
He's a wonderful guy and really does not deserve such treatment and yet sometimes i just can't stop myself. He says he understands but i hate being like that with him.
Shouldn't my hormones have calmed down a bit as i approach the end of pregnancy?
Suggestions?

That is all it is are hormones getting the best of you. When I was pregnant with my youngest, I absolutely acted like I hated my husband..and I didnt..and I didnt mean to come off like I did..but it seemed like everything he did and everything he said was always wrong.
It doesnt last forever. After you have the baby, your hormones will go back to normal.

I understand exactly what you mean. You need to take a step back and assess the status of your life right now to find out what the stressors are. Do you have everything ready for when the baby arrives? Are finances an issue right now? Are you worried about leaving work/school? Try and pinpoint what thing(s) are worrying you and talk about them with your fiance. Together you can figure out what can be done to relieve the stress. Also, you need to take some time to yourself to relax. Find something you like to do and make it a habit (even after the baby arrives). You should also find some time to spend with your fiance where you are both doing something you enjoy (whether sexual or not). Go to a movie together (he won't be able to talk lol), go to dinner, even just go for a walk. The better your relationship is with eachother now, the more likely it will be strong after the baby arrives and you are up against a whole different type of stress. Good luck and congrats!

Actually this late in the pregnancy your body stops making hormones of any kind, getting ready for birth.
when you are pregnant you either have to many hormones rushing through your body, or not enough.
when you get close to birth you stop making hormones which means that you have NOTHING regulating (or trying to regulate) your emotional response to stimuli. a lot of women get weepy or moody, but sometimes (and it was what happened to me w/my first born also) is absolute intolerance!
it can be insane how the TINIEST of things set you off to want to throttle your husband/fiance...etc.
all you can do is leave the room until you calm down.
after your child is born your body starts making hormones again, and FLOODS your body...causing post-partum depression in some women, etc. so your ride isn't over yet hon...but hang in there...we all go through it.
congrats on your first!

All you and he can do is live with the "irrational" until after the child is born and your hormones settle back to normal. This usually takes a while after the delivery so just be patient. You both need to think about the child that is soon to be here and try to overlook the "irrational" part of things now.

I hated my husband at the 5-9 week stage and I bet I'll hate him later in pregnancy too. Funny thing is, I can't stand my hubby's breath! I'm at 24 weeks right now, so when he's around me he always has gum in his mouth! It'll be something to look back on and laugh. Glad your guy understands. You're pretty close to the end there. Good luck. :)

Hormones are weird. I went through phases of the same. Make sure you get enough sleep (as best as you can) and get some exercise. And pamper yourself. When you do find yourself angry remind yourself that it is probably not him but the hormones, and it will pass. You may be able to laugh about this someday.

Honey thats pregnancy for you. I too was that way. Couldn't stand the site or the SMELL of my husband EVERY thing he did irritated me and then after the baby and a few months later things started to change. Be patient and as they always say, this soon shall pass.
