these hormones

edited March 2011 in First Trimester
i never had these hormones with my son- not at all! with my son i was happy and energetic and felt great throughout my pregnancy- even despite the morning sickness lol
but this time when i should be on top of the world!! last time my bf took off on us when i was only 6 wks along, i was completely alone! now ive got an amazing s/o and the most amazing son, a beautiful NEW home, things are going so well and other than the usualy worries i dont really have any problems but yet i find myself crying and feeling sad most days, then i have these almost manic energy moments at night. not to mention half the time my s/o cant walk thru the room without something hes doing pissing me off and it takes serious effort to keep from being a total bitch- then like twenty minutes later i want him to love on me because im happy again! its causing serious problems, poor guy doesnt know whats what, hes always on guard which is causing more problems cause hes constantly on the defensive waiting for a fight. for the last week or so ive been REALLY trying- not saying or doing anything without thinking twice about it but i still have these manic moments and we still fight cause he says its driving him crazy wondering if hes gonna have me crazy energized, crying, or angry...
will this pass?? and how do i get him to let his guard down so we can try to get back to normal? with him so defensive it just starts us on the wrong foot. i worry im going to drive him away even tho hes reasured me thats not going to happen, i just hate knowing that im basically annoying him (he tries not to show it, but i can tell) poor man works his butt off 10-12 hours a day sometimes 7-14 days straight i should not be doing this and making it worse..
any tips?

  • Yah I know how you feel I'm on my third kid and this is the worse time I've had with my hormones. Just today I went off on him for hanging out with his friends after I said it was ok. This did push us apart a while ago and we just resolved it. I'm scared this is going to push us apart. What I did was explain what was wrong and apologize for what I said or did. Sometimes they don't believe hormones actually push you to feel this way but thats why you take them to your ob and have them explain. I cant guarantee that these feelings will go away after you have the baby cuz its easy to fall into a pattern just keep fighting and try to relax as much as possible. Good luck
  • im desperately hoping the feelings will go away in the second trimester? im only 8wks along!! tonight i felt myself starting to lose it so i just stood up and came to the bedroom and gave myself about an hour then went back, hed falled asleep on the couch and i just told him i was sorry and i didnt want to fight thats why i walked away and calmed down- he seems to understand about the hormones but sometimes i think he over uses the hormone thing and makes it seem like im being silly when i am not- but he gave me a kiss and fell back asleep happily so maybe this is just what i need to do- walk away, and calm down. what i really want is for him to just reply Yes baby, your right- to everything i say lmao but its not going to happen
