Anyone else pregnant and MEAN?

Question

I am 11 weeks pregnant... and for the past couple of weeks.. i swear i have been the devil... My poor boyfriend! I yell at him for EVERYTHING possible... i freak out and scream and throw things, and then i cry and cry like a baby about it...... i think im going crazy.. this happens just about every single day... anyone else like this?

Answer 1

yes i watch 2 small children along with my son and i yelled at the 2 kids for everything they did every noise made me mad. good thing that didnt last too long.

Answer 2

LOL. I'm sorry to laugh, but I am totally mean now! Let me say - I used to be on Lexapro for depression so between the lack of medication (I stopped taking it once I found out I was pregnant) and the increase in hormones, I'm just terrible! I totally threw a fit the other day because my husband dared to come home without food (the nerve!)- seriously. It turned in to WWIII in our house. I can go from yelling to laughing to crying in 30 seconds or less. Usually I can tell when I'm turning extra cranky and will warn him to go elsewhere and leave me alone. Thankfully my husband has a good attitude about it though and takes it in stride...your hormones should level out once you reach the second trimester (but you still might have remnants of meanness - I know I still do!)

Answer 3

OH YES!

I am 17 weeks now and just a few weeks ago for about a week's time we were always arguing about something - everything pissed me off. He put the milk in the wrong spot... he didn't rinse his bowl he didn't do this or he did do that. OH I was going nuts! and he was also stressed and moody it seemed like... so it didn't help...

I remember one night in particular... I kept apologizing for how I was acting and telling him I really didn't mean it... then would turn around and yell at him for something else! at the end of the night, I came up behind him and gave him a hug..... and started BAWLING. he asked, what's wrong? I said... I DONT KNOW! so then I ran to the bedroom and cryed in the bed. This, so far was the peak to my emotional triumphs lol..

You are not alone... as horrible as it is for the people around us, THEY don't understand how really horrible it is for us... who feel we have no control over our own bodies! Just let him know how you are feeling and you really don't mean it.... hopefully he will TRY to understand.... I am much better now... but I am waiting for the later months... hopefully that will be the worst of it!

Answer 4

Totally normal. Then somewhere around your second trimester, you might relax a little....but come that third trimester, it gets even worse, and within a day or two of having the baby, it may peak and you'll be crying at the drop of a hat. Its like ten months of PMS if you ask me! Try to walk away from your boyfriend rather than yell at him. You might warn him to take what you say with a grain of salt and try to just be supportive. My poor husband and I seriously considered a divorce during my pregnancies. I was a demon and I truly believed he was the one at fault....and maybe he was, but I was overreacting....its a stressful, hormonal time. Good luck.

Answer 5

well i dont throw things or scream but i do get very bitchy and moody, about 90 percent of the time... everything in the world irritates me, i will flip out if someone is talking too loud, or smacking their food... just little things, and it seems like i hate kids too which makes me worry since im about to have my own... as far as crying i have a day about every 2 weeks or so where i just bring up stuff from the past or anything and just cry about it for no reason... i hope it goes away...

Answer 6

Hi there. I remember those early pregnancy days too. I am almost 5 months now, and this is the best part of my pregnancy. There is no more morning sickness, moodiness, meanness, etc.... I do still have emotional spells, but nothing like in the first trimester. Honey, don't worry it gets much much better. I could barely drive in the beginning cuz it would stress me out so bad, and I would go nuts in traffic. I totally understand. Believe me your hormones are getting the best of you. Try yoga, relaxing waterfall music, ocean cds', or lighting candles.. Its all worth the effort if it helps you to to be nicer to your boyfriend he will appreciate it:)

Answer 7

YES!! i am the same way, i freak out over the stupidest things and start crying like someone just died, then after a little bit im fine. I'm the worst in the morning, i call it my morning moodiness, and no one at work knows that im pregnant so they just think im having a bad morning. I dont think my boyfriend understands quite yet. glad im not the only one though

Answer 8

I am 38 1/2 weeks pregnant. 1 1/2 weeks to go and I have noticed MAJOR mood swings!! This is my 2nd pregnancy and everything is going excellent but I feel like I am apologizing to my husband everytime I turn around. Something inside a pregnant woman must just "snap"

Answer 9

OK I'm young and pregnant so I live with my grandparents and I seem to be mean to everybody especially my bf when he comes over I yell at him and alot of the time I put him out of my room and then sometimes out of the house I think this is very common in pregnancy it happens 2 almost every one

Answer 10

hehe my first baby I was so horrible that my husband would come home from work and throw chocolate into the bedroom and lock himself in the bathroom til I had some.
serious.....
I found it was because I was being nice to everyone at work since I was very professional at not bringing problems there that I just didnt have it to be nice to another person when i got home, the second pregnancy I was a stay at home and things went 100 times better, I got more sleep and more rest and had no emotional anger.... emotions yes, I cried a whole lot.

Answer 11

I was not near as bad, but very 'upset' with my husband with my first baby and with this last one until I miscarried. It's just hormones. You may have a high level of hormones, though, reacting badly with your body and baby. If worried talk to your OBGYN. (Some Herbal Teas are safe during pregnancy and can calm you down. - there is a book at Barnes & Noble about herbal and natural pregnancies.) Also, try making a pregnancy journal on your feelings, write in it before you see your boyfried or he is awake, I found with my first one if I wrote my feelings down and let him read them, then things went a lot smoother and we were a lot happier.
