I wish that I could tell you that it will go away at 'x' week but I can't. But I can tell you that what your going through is totally normal and will pass eventually, once your body has physically and emotionally adjusted to things more. I was edgy in the beginning.. I think it was mainly in the first two months and then by the third month I started feeling less tired and a little more normal. And your husband most likely understands that your going through a lot -its a major change indeed! Maybe explaining to him that you don't really mean to be so emotionally fragile or short with him will let him know that your aware that you aren't your usual self. Share your worries and feelings with him. He will feel more connected to you and also to the idea of the new baby. You really need to stick together because in future months and after your delivery, you will both need strength because its rough! Best of luck but remember its all worth it when he/she arrives!

Try sitting in a nice comfy place and reading a book or magazine. Hormones are terrible during pregnancy, but they can't be stopped. Try to avoid the people who put you on edge, they should understand if you have your hubby explain that your not feeling up to being around people.
Don't listen to the first poster and take a bubble bath. Baths are a bad thing during pregnancy. The warm water raises the temp of the amniotic fluid and can be really bad for the baby.
Congratulations and good luck!

It's the hormones, I was the same way! When I'm frustrated or upset I'll go to the bedroom and lay down w/ my doggies and a movie, go for a walk, or have hubby take me for a drive around town. Sometimes some alone time by yourself where it's quite works wonders! Good luck & congrats!

try laying down and listening to soft music.. Its your bodys way of telling u its changing.. Remember the baby feeds from your nutrients. U will become emotinal sometimes, but its normal.. Now if it becomes more and more u may want to call ur doctor. I have always been told if u lay down or sit in a comfy position while being pregnant rub your belly and talk to the baby.. also like i said listening to soft music always helps.

If you like the outdoors take a nice walk, If your more of a home body try one of those mini fountains and place it In a quite place in your home and just focus on the sound of the water. It works for me!
I'm only 10wks and I feel exactly the same way but i went to walmart and bought it, it was only like $15, its well worth it especially at night.

Unfortunately you are going through a bunch of hormone changes, and you will tend to get irritated much easier than normal.
Talk to the people around you, and let them know that there is nothing personal, but that they need to maybe give you a little extra room - and keep their conversations and stuff to themselves.
It won't make your life perfect, but it should help a bit.

Amber,
when my wife was pregnant with our son I used to rub her feet with lotion (aka foot massage). I also would read children's books to her tummy (some how this soothed her and I was able to reconnect with great stories like "Green Eggs and Ham" - using voice overs this seemed to work). T
he most important thing is that it soothed my wife and made her feel good or better than what she was going through emotionally and physically.
Hope this helps and best of luck with your forthcoming baby!

What you are experiencing is perfectly normal. It's the mad fluctuation of hormones. Taking a little time everyfday for yourself is not a bad idea. Other than that, everytime you start to feel annoyed, take a deep breath, count to ten, and repeat, "I won't be pregnant forever, I won't be pregnant forever."

Get some big headphones put them on, tuck the end in your pocket and go for a walk! The headphones are just to stop people from talking to you *lol*
Or you could listen to music but I didn't find that relaxing.
