Emotions On a Rollercoaster!! Posted: 02-23-04 00:27am
Is it okay that my husband irritates me no
matter what he does? I am 12 weeks and
it seems like I am always mad at him.
One minute I am happy as can be, the next
I want to just get away. I very much so
love my husband, but lately he annoys me.

Welcome to the emotional roller caoster
called pregnancy. Yes, unfortunately
raging hormones come hand in hand with
maternity. Some will suffer worse than
others, but it is a scientifically proven
fact that most pregnant women will suffer
some kind of emotional unbalance during
their pregnancy. I guess it doesn't help
when we slowly elvolve into a human with a
beachball attatched to the front of us.
It doesn't exactly make us feel real sexy
now does it. I am 28 weeks pregnant right
now, and feel like a swollen rhinocerous
with a bad hair day. Sometimes I could
choke both my husband and my 14 year old
daughter, along with my mother, father and
sister, and need to take a few minutes for
myself, whether it be taking a shower or a
relaxing bath, or even just go and lay
down in the bedroom with the door shut for
a couple of hours. Afterwards I come out
and I see everything in a totally
different light. I also try to keep in
mind that, yes hubby and daughter do annoy
me sometimes, but oh boy, what they must
have to put up with living with me.
Ahhhhh! I actually feel sorry for them.
You could mention to your doctor that you
are not coping with the hormonal
imbalance, and they may be able to give
you something mild to help you cope. I am
currently taking ciprimil, which is a type
of anti depressant that you can take
during pregnancy. It really takes the
edge off for me, and helps me get through
each day reasonably well.
