emotions, hormones and serious jealousy

edited March 2011 in Pregnant
My husband just mentioned a divorce if I don't straighten out and get control over all my emotions and hormones....I feel like I'm going crazy lately and none of this hit me until my third trimester, and now its driving my husband away....all we do is fight and he doesn't need that being so far away and I don't need it with being about to have our daughter, I'm not used to having mood swings or wanting so much attention that I feel like I'm not getting even when I'm getting it....I don't want to lose him and have only been married since november.....do any o you ladies have any issues with your hormones, and emotions?? what do you ladies do to help keep yourself from flipping out on your men??? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!! I can't stand the thought of losing the love o my life and my daughters father!!

  • Just a lot of self control. I haven't flipped out on him yet. I know some women use hormones as an excuse (I'm NOT saying you do), and I don't want to be one of those. So, I take a deep breath and try to put things in perspective.

    I try to only cry about stupid things in the shower when he's not around. Helps me let it out and relax, plus it saves him some unnecessary angst.

    Good luck!
  • I usualy have a lot more self control but these last 2 months I can't control my emotions....and it drives me insane that its driving him away, even when I try to walk away when I know a fight is being started I just go and it ends up being taken out on someone else which ends up blowing up in my face and makes things worse and when I talk to him again it all ends up coming out on him....I've never dealt with not being having self control
  • Maybe write him a sweet letter apologizing?

    Why don't you ask your dr if there are natural (foods) mood enhancers you can take? Kiwis and almonds are supposed to be good. Maybe smelling lavender in a candle or bath oils will calm you down.

    sorry that posted multiple times, not sure why...
  • I was gonna try and talk to my dr next week at my appointment in hopes of something, ill be having my daughter within the next few weeks and I have a huge feeling I'm gonna end up depression meds
  • @married2ourhero Is your husband deployed? That could be the added stress in your relationship. I know that when my husband was deployed, we really struggled to keep our relationship strong. During the beginning of deployment it was okay, but towards the end and when he came home, things were terrible. Like everyone tells you before you get married, marriage is hard work and you have to keep working on it to keep it strong.
  • Sounds like a good plan. If your hormones are this bad now, you should be proactive before your baby is born. Good luck!
  • @MamaC yes my husband is deployed...and we are barely about half way through, we got married about a month before he was deployed....haven't seen him since a week after we got married cause on top of being deployed he is stationed in germany.....I'm sure the deployment is adding stress to both of us, and I don't like fighting with him :(

  • @littlemami I know for about 6 weeks after giving birth your hormones are just as bad if not worse, I didn't get like this until I hit my thirs trimester and since its just gotten worse, I'm looking forward to when I havee control again
