I cannot deal with these pregnancy mood swings! Any tips?
with my daughter I didn’t have this kind of moodiness. This is some mutant form, straight from the depths of hell type of moodiness! I hate it because it’s not me.
Yesterday I told my friend that the reason why I don’t answer the phone when she calls is because she complains all the time and I was sick of it….ugh. Yeah she doess but I could have kept that to myself. Today I was in the “dark place” all day. Just being mad.
It seems like complaining, being dense, and annoying really set me off.
Is there ANYTHING that I can do to curb it? This just isn’t how I am and I don’t want anyone to start hating me

When you get really frustrated try to do something relaxing. Like take a walk or do some yoga. I know how you feel though. I seem to be angry with the ones I love the most and I hate it, but it helps to get out and do something.
GO TO THE DOCTOR AND ASK THEM IS THEIR ANY MEDICATION FOR THE MOOD SWINGS
Just get several shirts that read: WARNING extremely hormonal – the things that maybe said do not directly represent the views or opinions of this person. lol
I understand, I never really can tell what kind of mood I am going to be in for the day. Just try to warn people who are close to you when you are in a good mood.
I have become a hermit in these last couple of weeks because I have nothing nice to say when everyone else feels the need to point out how huge I am – grrrrr
That is EXACTLY how I feel!!!
I usually love talking to my sister on the phone but now when she calls Im rude like “what do you want?” Its not how I am and I hate it. Oh and when my boyfriend just touches me Im like “will you quit!” This sucks!!
I am looking forward to looking at other answers to see if anything will help me too! =)
Good luck with everything!!!
Uggh! I have loads of sympathy. I had no problems with my first kid, but with the second, I did the Dr. Jekyll / Mr. Hyde thing.
I did wind up talking to my Dr. about the problem, and he said they did have something they could give me for it that was safe for the fetus. (I decided not to take it.)
Walking helped a little. Also staying away from lots of sugar, caffeine…all the stuff that makes mood swings worse under normal conditions.
Hopefully, your friend will understand it was just your pregnancy beast rearing its ugly head! lol.
Congrats and good luck!
Read a book or get a massage. 0r…take your frustrations out on the baby’s father…lol
I experienced this is both of my pregnancies. My best advice to you is to talk to your doctor if excercise is safe in your pregnancy. If he or she says it’s fine, do it daily to help calm you. If that fails, I would talk to my doctor about medication (if you’re comfortable with it). I took medication in my first pregnancy because it was all that worked, and I promise, your doctor will not give you anything that is not safe. I have two healthy babies (one thirteen months old and one two weeks old) and the only way for me to survive both was with medications (my second I couldn’t sleep so my doctor gave me Ambien). Best of luck to you and congrats!
