According to some medical specialists, women go on hormonal changes even if they are not pregnant. This can best explain why women have more mood swings than men. I think it is not related solely on pregnancy but the fact that you get used to being alone in the house most of the time. There are things you wanted to do but when everyone comes home from work it disturbs your routine. I suggest try to mingle with neighbors if there are or try to talk to someone over the phone. Maybe the problem is you are becoming a loner and wants things done alone. It could have been the weight in your tummy is getting heavier and it contributes to the mood you have since it is harder for you to move from one place to another easily compared to when you were still lighter. Pets are best therapy for you when no one is around. Just talk to them as if they were people. Never mind those who think you are insane. Pets have feelings too and they do understand us. Try to also wander around places so you can have change of environment. Perhaps shopping once a week will do. Lastly, think of the principle "it's all in the mind". You are the one controlling yourself. If you don't allow it to happen, it won't. Goodluck on your upcoming baby. Hope he/she is as healthy as could be.

I know that you are 28 weeks pregnant yes it is hard to be pregnant you say that you are happy when you are home alone when your family is gone until they come home from work and then it all falls apart with the mood swings start real bad for you do you think that they are asking you a lot of questions about how you are feeling if that is why you can have so many mood swings, sometimes you just need to let them know that you like to be left alone while you are having these mood swings, sometimes it is good just to take a hot bath and relax and then you can go for a walk just with your hubby and just talk about the things that went on in is day and also on how your day went as well. Sometimes it is ok to have some time in each other arms that can also help you as well with your mood swings as well. I hope that this helped you out some.

I would assume it's normal being as how I am only 7 weeks and I'm extremely mean to my hubby when all he does is try to cater to my every need..I think I tend to get more mad when he is so nice and I'm so mean because I don't WANT to be mean! Once the baby comes it will all go away I'm sure and if it doesnt thats when you might have an anger issue or mild depression...When I get really upset at my hubby for no reason I just try to channel all that anger into all the nice things he does for me and the sadness in his face makes me feel guilty so I can usually calm down for a few...a FEW that is haha Its okay thought darlin it's normal! Best of luck!

It could be hormonal, or it could by psychological. There is so much going on in your body right now, and so much going on in your head. We can't minimize the stress that pregnancy can put on us, even if we are ecstatic about having a baby. You need to talk to your OB about it. Since you are a housewife, you have the luxury of being able to schedule appointments during the day. Ask your OB to refer you to a counselor, and discuss the possibility of a safe category anti-anxiety medication. A lot of women in pregnancy and post-partum benefit from them until the hormone swings get under control. Good luck.

You know reading your story was like reading my own life. I was like that when I was pregnant the first time and now I am getting like it again.
Yesterday my two year old twins followed me around all day. And it really annoyed me. I hate being grouchy with them, but at the moment it is just who I am.
Andrew my partner comes home from work and won't look me in the eye, because I bite his head off. He is so understanding, and I am a B*tch to him.
Bloody hormones!!!!!!!! It does pass though.

I had the same issue when I was pregnant, and even a little afterwards. So, I can completely relate to you, and I found that I just had to remember that it is temporary. I also talked to my bf about the whole thing, and it seemed to help as he understood it was mainly hormones. Just have to remember to hang in there and know soon enough you'll have your baby and things will go back to normal.

i actually feel the same way you do. i think it's the pregnancy hormones because everyone around me is getting on my nerves. my mom, my husband, everyone. I'd just rather be left to my own devices, and i really liked being around people more before I was pregnant.

It is so normal but sad. I am a house wife also and sometimes I think it is mild depression. It can be a lonely life. Even with the children around.
I do think what you are going through is extremely normal but you should talk to your Ob/Gyn about it.

you sound like me when i was pregnant! it's probably just the pregnancy and it will go away. i know it probably feels like they're "true" feelings but when you get over them you'll realise it was just the hormones taking over. Just hang in there!! good luck!!
