i am 7 weeks pregnant and i feel like i
have lost my self to the hormones. I snip
at my DH, i am so awfuly tired and hungry.
All i want to do is rest when i get home,
but as usual i need to make dinner. I
don't feel like i know who this person is
anymore. I don't want to be touched by
anyone, DH and i have not even made love
since we found out. I have cramps, back
pain none of which are bad or constant but
they just seem to add to my bad mood. I
don't feel happy.... is there something
wrong with me or is this all normal and
will pass?!

It's very normal. I don't remember being
all that moody that early on, but I was
very tired. As far as meals, if he can
cook, ask him to. If he can't cook, maybe
start putting something in the crock pot
in the morning, or on the weekends cook
some stuff and freeze it, so all you have
to do is thaw something.
It does get a little better.
Good luck to you

For every blessing there comes a pinch of
hell.
It seems like you need a day away from
everything. I had crazy mood swings
when I was preggers you would have thought
I was bi-polar. I think it even showed
when I came on the forum during those
times. LOL. . . In most it passes, those
hormones can be a pain though on you and
the people around you. I'm sure they know
it's something you can't control.
Maybe DH can understand and take ahold of
the weel for a few days so you can refresh
and get back on track.
Get some friends and go out to a spa or to
lunch and just vent or just go walk around
and be alone.
You're 7 weeks so it's still possible for
you to move around like a normal person.
LOL
I hope it all works out and you get to
feeling better.
Just remeber we're here to talk if you
need anything.

thanks guys... it just seems to be a bit
much. I am fine most of the day, but right
now I am working 10 hour days and by the
time I get home I just want to rest... i
wish dh could cook but alas he is good at
hotdogs and that is about it.

You could try being a couch cook. My
boyfriend is willing to help me cook if I
tell him what to do and keep my patience
with how he does it. He can cook a little
but he lived on hot dogs and cereal before
he met me. I just tell him what to do
while I sit on the couch and he does it.
He's slow but sometimes I just can't stand
in the kitchen chopping and cooking
because my feet hurt and my ankles are
swollen. Just tell him that you are
experiencing something he can't see on the
outside yet but it is very profoundly
affecting how you feel on the inside. get
some pregnancy books and show him which
chapters to read. He's a man and he may
not get the whole hormone thing yet but
believe me if he's ever gonna learn about
it now would be a good time.

thanks kaerbear that is a pretty good
idea. The book thing will not work.. he
refuses to read them. even if I mark the
chapter. He said he does not need to read
them. <rolls eyes>. Perhaps in a
few weeks the story will be different
