I am 28 weeks along right now so I guess it has been a couple of weeks now. I do not know if its aniexty or stress or just no patience whats so ever!! I speak my mind very clearly now & truly don't care what the other person thinks but its more of something that needs to be said cause I am done beating around the bush on it. I get annoyed very easy. Just driving in the car gets me going when people can't seem to just do the speed limit or people not using their lights when its 6:30am & snowing.. YES stupid things! I try to breathe in breathe out & repeat but it doesnt help. With reading this I don't know if its a question or just a rant! I just pray this short temper feeling will go away & wont cause me to stress my baby out either... Cuase my life is perfect & there is nothing to be stressed about in the first place. Someone please tell me it will go away LOL.. Hope everyone has a wonderful day :)
Raging pregnancy hormones! You'll be okay. Take a big deep breath and try not to get too focused on everything that gets on your nerves. I was that way too with both - wanted to just scream!
Hugs!
Hormones!.. I was a raging %itch! .. a few weeks after birth I was back to normal.
Are you having a girl... I thought it was that, with my son I was relaxed and happy.. lol
Shoot - I feel like that somedays now and I'm not even pregnant!!! LOL!
Yes, it's normal, at least you're aware of it.
Try to find something that makes you laugh or lightens your heart!
Hugs!
Pregnancy very gradually becomes a big stress on your body.
Your internal organs are squished and are being kicked around.
You are hungry and/or have to pee anytime during the day or night.
If the baby's pressed against your stomach you have horrible acid indigestion - if the baby's pressed against your bladder (or kicks it) you have to pee suddenly or you can't seem to pee completely when you do try.
Your joints are loosening to prepare you for birth - towards the end this can cause some grinding in your hips when you walk or pain in other joints.
Because your muscles are also relaxing along with your joints - constipation and/or gas can become problems.
You have a hormonal mental fog - it's easy to forget things.
And your temper can go from fine to seriously irked in no time flat.
Right after birth - there might be aches and pains but the feeling that I had my kidneys to myself again was just SUCH a good feeling.
It does all go away again eventually (give it some time - it took 9 months to get up to birth time - it takes several weeks or months to fully revert to non-pregnant mode).
You'll get through it!
I think the last trimester of pregnancy brings out our personality. If you are bothered by stupidity you will be more bothered. If your normal response is to be painfully truthful you will be more so. You're tired, not feeling great, y ou're anxious, etc.
I used to be like this - then I began to go through the "real" stressed of life that come as you and your family ages - death of parents, serious injury & disability o my hsuband, serious illness of a child, etc. That's when I began to realize that all the stuff that made me crazy was "the small stuff" and it doesn't make sense to sweat the small stuff.
I used to lose my mind over t he "idiot" in front of me on the expressway. Now I let him pass and even slow down a little to get my distance from him so his negativiey doesn't become part of my day.
Once you hold that baby in your arms you realize what the big, important stuff is - and the traffic, weather and knuckleheads in the grocery store isn't it. My friend said I went from being high strung type A to more peaceful than the dali lama when my first child was born.
(But now they're teens and it's a different story.) ;o) JK
I had a similar question a few weeks ago. I am now 36 weeks and totally feel your pain sister! I go from yelling to crying so easily. Though I am not always like that, but I can tell my already somewhat impatient nature has been magnified ten times over. I can't sleep comfortably or very much, so of course this does not help.
