how do you prevent yourself from flying off the handle and overreacting ?
i can't quite seem to get things under complete control & tend to be snappy & short tempered and a bit defensive (esp with my husband). and then i feel bad & have to apologize...
i'd rather be my normal self & not get into fights though...
got any tips??

well gee daisy thanks for the kind words.
perhaps you have no idea what i'm going through, or that i'm basically going through it by myself. or that i can barely work, and if i can't work then i cant support myself & get prenatal care. or perhaps that i'm worried sick & don't know if any of this is normal and this is my first baby & i'm stressed out and need a little reassurance, but NO you just have to be a major b*itch about it try to make my day worse. go to hell.

Well just so you know you are not alone i have the same problem. It's weird how most of our snappiness goes towards our husbands isn't it :) but i hate to say it but i do not think we will be able to be our NORMAL selfs untill after the baby. What i do to try to keep it under control is get a lot of alone time so you can think cry or whatever you feel the need to do. And sometimes i seriously cannot prevent myself snapping at him so when i feel kind of in a good mood and i am not irritated him at the moment i tell him to just try to deal with it and know that i will not be like this forever and thank you for being patient. Also i tell him the things he does that really send me over the edge!!!! As stupid as they may sound to anybody but us they are irritating and that he needs to stop doing them. I hope i helped i know how frustrating it can be

Sometimes you really just can't controll the emotions. I am about 20 weeks pregnant and the other day when i was shopping I flat out yelled at this older lady because i thought she was taking too long...after she gave me a very dirty look and left i realized what i had done. I would appologize when you realize what has happened, but also your husband should just relax a little and take the shots as they come...he should or atleast start to understand that emotional unstability is normal during pregnancy.

Ha Im going through the same thing as we speak! I actually just apalogized to my fiance last night for snapping all day. With my first pregnancy I was never like this, but now Im constantly in a bad mood. You really cant control it,its hormones. Just explain to people that its not intentional. Thats what i had to do. Good luck with everything.

The pill might be part of the problem. However, also look up "emotional overexcitabilities"--a concept by a man named Dabrowski. See if that seems to fit you as well. It could be anything. If it is sudden, especially after taking the pill, consider getting off of the pill. It could be something unrelated though. You might want to ask your doctor.

Welcome to the world of pregnancy...this is just one of those things that comes from our hormones being so crazy. When you feel yourself getting ready to flip try walking into another room and closing the door and give yourself some quite time. I did this and most of the time it worked and other times I just went crazy LOL...:)

i would like to say you learn to control it but i would be lying. well i guess some people could control it. I know i cant i am always apologizing to my fiance lol. i guess just try to stop and think about what you are going to say and see if he might get upset from it. good luck. im 37 weeks and havent learned how to control it.

i hate to say this...but i keep seeing all of your questions every day complaining about your pregnancy and i wonder why you are pregnant if you hate it so much? there are things that are a pain with pregnancy but if you cant remember the ultimate goal you will remain miserable...
I'm sorry but i just went through helping a friend who's placenta separated from her baby and the cord wrapped around his little neck twice...he was born 29 weeks premature and we don't know if he is going to live at this point...i just have to say...deal with it...like all of the rest of did...it is a pregnancy your body changes...you are giving birth to a new life...
