Hormones don't "make" you do anything.
You are in control of your actions. Don't blame hormones. Sure, they cause you to feel moody and irritable, but they do NOT make you get into fights and treat each other badly.
Those are decisions the two of you are making and you have two options:
1. Decide today that despite how you're feeling physically you are going to do your best to rise above it and be pleasant for your sake, his and the baby's, or;
2. Decide that you are going to let hormones win and just give up and break up and leave your baby without a father.
It's up to you and you are in control.
One more thing - if you plan to stay together and raise this child, start making wedding plans. Babies need a stable and financially secure home. Studies have shown that couples who live together are at HIGH risk for continued poverty, abuse and domestic violence/crimes.

Don't blame this on pregnancy hormones... you have to create a strong relationship even during hard times... if you think you're falling apart now, wait until later in life when your car breaks down at the same time you need your roof repaired, and the baby is sick and needs meds, and your out of groceries.
I'm not saying you're financially unfit, I'm just saying life gets hard and if this is making you "fall apart" then you have a long road ahead of you.
On your side - you are going through something unique and he needs to be more of a man right now... he might have to bend over backwards a bit to help you out while you're pregnant.
Good luck

Spend some time apart. Right now I am so Mommy needy, I go over to my parents allot more often. And my bf has been a little "sensitive" for a lack of a better word. Seems his hormones are worse than mine!!
Let him get some "mommy time" too, go hang out with his friends or family. And you get your girlfriends and/or sisters and go do girl stuff, shopping, spas, etc.
It's ok, you don't have to be together 100% of the day.
Good luck!!
t-hee I liked the Krazy Glue joke too.

First of all, take a deep breath and relax. It has happened to many of us. Try to explain to him what is going on and ask him for a little patience. When I was pregnant I used to be in a good mood sometimes and then in an instant I'd go crazy and wanted to kill everyone. So I talk to my husband and he understood that when I was like that I needed to be alone for a while and then he would come back like nothing had happened. Just try a little to control your urges.

I was in the same boat.. I was 3 months Prego and just found out.. Me and my Boyfriend were always fighting.. I left a few nights and stayed at my moms house (we lived together).. We just slowly worked it out.. It is hard when your pregnant.. You just maybe need a little space from him and still talk on the phone and see eachother but if you live together maybe take a few nights off at your moms or a friends house... Don't give up on him and don't let him give up on you.. It gets better after the baby is born.. Good Luck

start Making love, It's probably the best you can get when your pregnant and horny! having sex also helps when the doctor want's to induce labor.

i had the same problem...just remind him that it's the hormones talking (even though that might not help) but just try to pick your battles..it's hard but just try!

look at the name of your meds.... look them up on the internet. look at possible side effects and call your doctor to discuss.. maybe he can put you on something with less moood swings.
