Moody when pregnant?

Question

I feel so bad for my partner.. It hurts me when I just blow up on him. But I just can't control it and it's killing me. There are also times when I get depressed and my friends say that it's the hormones, but I'm tired of always blaming it on the hormones.. I wish there was something I could do to control my temper. It's always my partner I take it out on and nobody else. Is anyone going through the same thing, or is it just me? I feel soooooo bad right now. :-(

Answer 1

sounds like hormones are raging and yes we tend to take out our aggressions on the ones we love. talk to your doc about what you can do to relieve the stress.  try taking a regular nap eating healthy and drinking plenty of fluid

Answer 2

I know what you mean. A lot of times, I feel depressed and very moody and I know it's not always hormones. I feel depressed for my own personal reasons-not for no reason. Don't feel bad--you're just sad :( and pregnant. Being pregnant can be hard on your body and make you think in ways you never did before you were pregnant! I mean, I feel like c**p about myself and that makes me feel depressed and moody, plus there are other things I worry about that make me feel upset, too. I know it's not all hormones and everyone keeps saying that it is--like the only reason a pregnant woman could ever be upset is because of hormones. ...? Anywho, I would apologize to your partner and tell him you're sorry; let him know you don't mean the things you say and you know it's not right to take it out on him, and you will try hard not to in the future. Try going into another room or writing things down when you get moody or depressed. Go somewhere by yourself and have a big cry--it will make you feel better! Good luck with everything :) You're due 3 days after me. ^_^

Answer 3

It's the hormones...try doing things you 2 both enjoy and try to stay positive.  Just remember when you;re about to blow up that you love him and don't want him to resent you. Hang in there.  i was a little moody at first but mine went away.  It'll pass!

Answer 4

I went through that!!  Not good.  I yelled at my (now) ex for making microwave popcorn wrong.  Now, I ask you...how do you mess up microwave popcorn???  You don't.  BUT, I chewed him out, I said things about his mother, I told him horrible things.  All the while I can hear myself thinking "oh my gosh, what is wrong with me?  I can't stop screaming at him and he did nothing to deserve it"!!  Once my hormones settled, so did I!!!  It will get better!

Answer 5

I feel the exact same way.  If there is an answer on how to "fix it" i would love to know as well!

Answer 6

Its just a symptom, there is really nothing you can do and I would blame it on the hormones while you have them to blame it on. Good luck and try to catch yourself becoming emotional and find something that works for you to block it out. Sometimes, I just have to leave the room before I loose it or I'll go for a walk or have something to drink or just cry.  

Answer 7

I am going through the same thing, the only advice is before you speak think to yourself "this is the baby talking" and take a deep breath and dont say what you were thinking.  It doesn't always work, but it has kept me from saying a few things I was going to regret!!!  I am only 6.5 weeks along and I am hoping this will end soon.  Good luck to you!
