hi girls, is any of you mums suffering from mood swings. i feel very low at the moment. and my temper (which i never thought i had) is very sharp. feel like im a totally different person. i know its hormones but i actually feel a little depressed when i should be happy!! please tell me im not alone!!!!:(
Wanted to let you know that your not alone. We all get feelings like this. You don't say if your pregnant or a new Mum. Suffered from terrible mood swings whilst pregnant as the body was changing so much and did'nt really know how to cope with it all. Certainly felt moody once our son came home and the euphoria started waining and the sleepness nights kicked in and was very bad tempered with my husband and mum.
hi vicky, im almost 7 weeks, at the moment, im hating what im going through. my partner has been pushed aside as i cant stand him around me, which is not fair. i just feel resentful, all the time with everyone. i was perhaps expecting to feel down after the birth but not during. i am snappy tearful and dont even think about the baby. and this was planned .. its unreal.
Aww Andrea I know how you feel hun. I am 11 weeks today and this past week hasnt been so bad at all, mainly because my sickness has disappeared i think but the few weeks before this one were hell for my partner. I'd snap at him for the stupidest things, and push him away when he tried to get close, and everytime I thought about baby, i just thought, why on earth am I having another baby, when my son is growing up now and much easier to look after why am i putting myself through it all again!
Luckily I feel much better this week, so hopefully you start feeling happier soon. I made my partner read plenty of stuff about the first trimester of pregnancy, just so he knew that it was the hormones doing it to me, and not me doing it on purpose. Sometimes he snapped back at me, but im lucky that my partner is really understanding.
You will feel very moody. I was very volitile, took things the wrong way, rowed with every one. I had my baby last year and towards the end of my pregnancy I seemed to be a lot better with my moods.
hi andrea, i'm waiting to find out if i'm pregnant or whether its just my period on way, but i have been the same. really moody and the next i just wanna cry. its so weird but i totally understand what ur going through, hun if u need to chat, i'm here xxx
hi andrea, i only found out i was pregnant because i went to the doctor to say i was feeling really depressed and having ridiculous mood swings and whilst i was there mentioned that i'd missed a period and thought there was a problem with the pill i was on (my periods had disappeared a few months before and then went back to normal - they said if it happened again to change my pill). Anyway, she did a pregnancy test as a precaution and it was positive!!
My little one is now four months old and i can promise you it does get better! The first 12 weeks of pregnancy were really tough for me and weeks 2-6 after the birth were hard too, but it really is worth it in the end!!
My baby is now13 weeks old and i can tell you that it all gets alot better through your pregnancy.
When we first found out i was pregnant we both thought it was a really bad time, we had only been together a few months and we were both (and stiil are) young but as the weeks went past we both knew it would bring us closer together and knew we wanted to be together for the rest of our lifes so a baby would be great.
As the weeks went past i seemed to be cut off from all my friends as they didn't want much to do with me coz i was pregnant and they seemed to think i wouldn't be able to come out and enjoy myself any more,so i cried alot and took all my loneliness out on my partner.
He was great to me,we spent all are time together and got to know each other even more.
I had a scare at just over 12 weeks where i started to bleed and thought we were losing the baby but after a week of bed rest all was well again,but still i was getting mood swings,it wasn't until we felt the baby kick for the first time that i felt really really close to my partner because now he could share the feelings with me,before i just felt like i had given up everything and he wasn't any part of it but now we could have a lie down on the bed and feel the baby moving and kicking which to me was the best part of being pregnant,so all the mood swings are worth it, it does get better
