Coping with her hormones

edited March 2011 in Pregnant
Tonight she was very offended at a comment that I made. I was just joking around like we usually do. This time she took it very personal and asked me not to talk to her anymore until she felt better.

I apologized a few times but she's still upset.

How much more of this can I expect? I'm trying to be very sensitive and understanding to the changes she's going through. But I'm afraid that I might reach a boiling point if it keeps happening.

We're in the first trimester of our first pregnancy. I don't want to upset her but I find myself taking lots of deep breaths to keep her happy.

  • hey dont get down about this....it will come and go throught the pregnancy....i did the same 2 my husband yesterday and this morning i was fine....

    pregnant ladys are super touchy sometimes....you just have 2 be patient...hormones at this stage are not really controlable! srry!
  • I was the same way.. I cried for 3 hrs jus cuz he didnt say sweetdreams.. But ive learned how to control it more and calm down.. Ive actually been more nice the past month than I have my whole life. Lol.. Maybe she will start to calm down when she sees Its hurting u. I know once he told me that it hurts him when I go off for no reason, I stopped taking it out on him..
  • First trimester is the worst. My hubby felt the same way as you. Just dont take anything she says to heart right now. The best thing u can do is just be understanding. Her bad moods will stop, but mood swings are a part of pregnancy. I barely talked to my hubby today, just because I wanted my own space, and im 21 weeks. Just hang in there and be supportive.
  • Thanks for the response. She's still not talking to me. I'm sure she'll get over it soon.
  • Give her brownies with frosting or what ever her craving is
  • Sorry 2 say but its going 2 happen threw out the whole pregnancy. Seriously im suprised my bf puts up with me and this is my 3rd pregnancy and ive gotten moodier with this one. Thank god he only has 2 more days 2 put up with it I feel really bad 4 him most of the time.
  • The first trimester was the absolute worst for me. My pregnancy was not planned, so between the stress of deciding what to do, the on set of hormones, and just being flat out scared, I was a big mean cry baby!
    He eventually called me out on it, after I blew up over something unreasonable, and although I didn't want to hear his position, because he did so calmly (not in the heat of the moment) and with real emotion (he hated that he couldn't make me happy) I listened, and things got better.
    There are definitely still days where I'm a crank pot, but he knows now that I try to not be.
    Hold in there, she appreciates you by her side (even though she may not say it, or even act like it..)
