Pregnancy mood swings – Please help me?

I am 14 weeks pregnant and extremely happy to be having a baby. The only problem is I am so moody and I am driving my fiance up the wall. I am so touchy and get upset with everything he says. We went to a party on Friday and I get upset even when he talks to my friends. Its like I’m so insecure. I was never like this before – I believed in my relationship.
I’m so scared that I am pushing my fiance away – he even said this morning that he wishes the pregnancy was over so I can be normal again.
Please help – I really don’t know what to do.

yeah, its normal, just make sure that when you are in a good mood to explain to him that you know you have been bieng a bi**h and for him to please be undestanding, he is gonna have to bit his lip, and so do you! it will be ok, good luck…………and yes that is a diaper on my head
i would suggest sitting down and talk to him about how you are feeling…during this time i would also try to make him understand that all those emotions you are letting out, you have no control over them!! its your hormones!!! I would have a talk with your doctor also and see if there is anything you can take to help control your mood swings!!!
but i wish you and your fiance the best of luck.. and congrats!!!
ur pregnant women ur hormoans r up the shit ive been thru this all befor eventually u get pregnancy brain and start forgettin things aswell dont worry u will get over it soon enough
HI,
I’m Adele. I’v had 2 kids so far and i know where your coming from. It dosen’t hepl that your blaming yourself love. The first step is that you know that your doing it so you can start to do something about it. I find that I may be yelling at something now, but that isn’t why i’m angry or upset. If something bigger is bothering you that your ignoring or you dont want to deal with, then the stress will come out in other ways and when your pregnant it’s all 10 fold. The best this is to not worry to much. If your Fiance loves you and is the one then he will understand and get over it. I swear i told my husband i was leaving him twice a day when i was pregnant, but when it’s all over, it dosent matter.
Maybe find someone to talk to, an old friend or make a new one on Yahoo chat. Sometimes it helps just to say the words of what is bothering you, no matter who is listerning
and if all els fails, take a deep breath and soak in a bubbles bath.
Hope i could help
Adele
Just explain to him that it will go away ….just wait till HE starts getting the mood swings…my hubby is more moody then me now and that is a new thing.
Something that may work very well is to get a good mutual friend to sit with him and you and talk about HER experience. Someone who’s going to be honest about how the mood swings really do seem to turn you into someone you’d not like to meet in a dark alley! lol..
The best way of convinving him that this really does happen to most people is to have someone objective tell their experience, and encourage him to “overlook” the temporary insanity pregnancy can cause, and just be supportive. The woman carries the baby and has all the mood swings but we often forget the impact that “baby brain” can have on the male in the relationship. The woman carries the baby, and the man deals with the “crap” which unfortunately is often beyond the woman’s control. If he can detect it, he can also handle it better, by pointing it out to you when you’ve calmed down so that YOU become more aware of it. But in the end, your hormones are haywire and although it does not justify becoming an outright BOVINE during the gestation period, it goes a long way to explaining why having a baby is right up there with divorce in terms of stressors (and sometimes goes hand in hand.)
Enjoy your pregnancy, focus on the beautiful sides of what’s happening to you – taking extra care of yourself will also make you feel calmer and happier and more in control of them ragin hormones. I wish you every blessing, and may your child be truly a gift to everyone and everything he/she touches!
It is normal i am 18 weeks pregnant and i am usually so laid back but with this pregnancy i have been like a raving lunatic, my husband as said the same thing to me but he as been quite patient with me but i am getting better, goodluck.
