My pregnant body makes me mad, I'm fed up with being pregnant! My fiance pisses me off everytime he looks at my the wrong way. I hate my job and my boss right now. The nursery isn't even started yet b/c me mom has her junk stored in there( it used to be my extra bedroom) so I'mnot talking to herb/c I feel she's being very inconsiderate and she won't come get her stuff!! I don't know why I'm so iirtated right now, I'm usually a very happy person. I feel like I need to get some anti-anxiety pills or something but I know I can't take em. What can I do to get past this? Please help!! Is it normal to be feeling like this right now? I didn't feel like this in my 1st pregnancy!! I just want to lock myself in a room alone and scream at the top of my lungs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm the same as you right now. I'm 33 weeks and irritated at the smallest things. this is my second child, my son is 1 yr and was born at 33 weeks. Whenever I start to get onto my husband for everything he looks at me and says, I can't wait til your hormones go away. I feel sorry for him he's had 2 years of hormones to deal with. I've talked to my doctor and she tells me to take a long hot bubble bath and to play with my precious little girl in my tummy. It calms you down til you get out and see people lol. congrats on your pregnancy and hope you have a better one than me. I'm already dilated and been going in every couple days for pressure and contractions. if you ever need to talk to vent I'm willing to listen. Sometimes it's nice to have someone to talk to that doesn't know you. have a great day.

YEP! Completly normal! that is part of the hormone changes in your body! First, call your mom.... tell her that she needs to have her stuff out by the weekend or your going to throw it out! Tell your Fiance that the best way he can help you right now is to just stay quiet and keep a safe distance.
Call around to some of the massage places.... find one that does pregnancy massages. This works WONDERS!!! Releases toxins that build up and can cause irratiblity.! Find some time to your self. Go to bed early... lock yourself in. Go get a manicure or a pedicure. !
Tell your boss that the way your feeling will pass and bear with you until the baby comes.
If you feel like screaming.. SCREAM! that will help as well.
And just remember you only have about a month left and then you get the prize! Nothing more rewarding!
Congratulations!

First of all, go get a prenatal massage. You will feel SOOOO much better. It's hard to be irritated when someone is doing their best to make you feel good. I got one in my second and my third trimester. You will have to make sure that they specialize in prenatal massage. I went through the hospital that I delivered at and it cost the same as a regular massage.
Second, why don't you schedule a time with your mother to get the stuff out. Tell her that you are anxious to start on the nursery and you need to set a time for her to come and do it. (If it helps, you can tell her that your doctor threatened bedrest for you and you want to get it done in case you are put on bedrest) If she says she doesn't have a way to get the stuff out, find a friend with a truck. Don't give her a chance to say no. I got my husband to finish the nursery by scheduling the help (family), so he had no choice but to get it done.
You're almost there!! Congratulations and good luck!

I am right there with you. 39 weeks pregnant (first pregnancy - expecting a little girl) and my fuse is the shortest it's been in my life, and has been growing shorter since about 32 weeks.
What I do to relax:
* Listen to the relaxation CD that I got through my HypnoBirthing class. (check out www.hypnobirthing.com for more info on this gentle pregnancy and birth technique)
* Lots of naps and rest! When I truly feel like I hate everyone and everything and am about to murder something, I go lay down with my favorite cat and try to sleep.
* Comfort foods. A bowl of cereal always improves my mood at least a little bit.
* Seek hugs and love from someone who is not currently pissing me off. (can occasionally be difficult to find someone you're not mad at, I know)
* Journaling to my baby - I've been writing about what pregnancy is like, so when she goes through it someday, maybe she won't feel as alone and frustrated as I've sometimes felt. (I feel it's especially important to cover the bad times as much as the good - pregnancy is NOT all sunshine and roses.) Getting things out on paper makes me feel better and more connected to my baby.
Don't be afraid of your own instincts. Maybe locking yourself in a room alone and screaming at the top of your lungs would help. Sometimes you just have to let it out!

Yep that sounds about right. The littlest things at work would make me cringe, someone breathing loudly while walking, people talking to me when I don't want them to, and especially my fiance. I found that a good book is a nice help to relax your stressed, hormonal mind. Also, so is a good cry. Trust me, the hormones are doing it, this will pass and you will feel better soon!

Try being 8 months pregnant, gaining 60 pounds, and it is the middle of August, where the temperature outside is 110 degrees! Both of my boys were born in August.

That is totally normal. Maybe you will be lucky and your irritability will pass in a couple of days. Just stay calm and think about all the good things you have in your life right now.

JUST WAIT, it dont get any better, sorry to tell you that. No sleep, no anything you time anymore. It gets better when the move out. my kids are 9 and 3 and I still stay mad. Its good sometimes to put a pillow over your mouth and just scream. It works for oh about 30 min. hahahaha

Its normal...relax...usually when you are close to giving birth you tend to get moody and everything irritates. You just want to have the baby because everything is so uncomfortable...good luck!
