I am approximately 8 weeks pregnant and I don't feel as if I am acting different. however, my fiance has commented that I am short with him and have a bit of an attitude. I believe that he is just taking me the wrong way on some things.
Are attitude changes common in prenancy?
How can I make changes in this, even though I am not realizing it?
(I am aware that this could be true and I am just not aware)

It's you! My wife was a real pain in the a## when she was pregnant. The littlest things would set her off. I understand that women go through a lot while pregnant, but if you want to keep from a long 9 months then try a couple of small things. Before you answer or snap at someone slow down and think about your reply. Also talk to him and make sure he understands what your going through. He will understand and he will be better about making it easier on you.

Mood swings are very common during pregnancy. When you don't realize what your doing it is very hard to change it. But since your fiance has pointed it out, now you are aware. Just try to think about what your saying before you actually say it. I know you may not always do this, but try to when you can. Then you can alter the way you say it before you actually speak it. This does take some mind training for yourself and won't work 100% of the time b/c sometime we all react before thinking about it. But it may help. The moodiness is most common in the first trimester, so it should get a little better. Tell your fiance that you will try to be more cautious of it and aware of what your saying before you say it, but this is common and if he can try to have a little tolerance and understanding that would be helpful to you as well also it won't last forever.

Mood swings are very common in pregnancy...all those extra hormones raging through your body. It's similar to PMS but can be much more intense. You may be taking things a little differently and not realize it, hence the reason your fiancess says you have an attitude. If you get a PMS attitude this is what your fiance is feeling. I am alot more sensitive to everything and so things that normally wouldn't bother me now drive me nuts. Just try to relax. It's normal.
I don't know how to change it. Just be sensitive to your fiance and he should be sensitive to you too. You are going through a huge change and, unfortunately it will probably continue throughout.
Good luck.

Attitude changes are definitely common in pregnancy. You probably aren't aware of it. My husband said I was mean when I was pregnant. I don't think I was, but I do know that I got my feelings hurt very easily and I probably did pick some stupid fights with him as a result. The only advise I can give is for him to be patient with you and for you to try to realize that you probably are being short with him.

oh, it's normal. My cousin is the sweetest, most patient person ever, but she was extremely evil when she was pregnant- she snapped at people for nothing. And she had no idea she was doing it.
Do not worry about it- try to control it, if you can. Getting angry is not good for you. When you feel frustrated take a deep breath, count to ten, or drink a glass of water to relax. If you can't help but fly off the handle, at least you have a good excuse.
