Hi Lovely Ladies!

Just after a bit of advice - I had a quick look through but there are so many pages! I'm sorry if it's been asked before...

I'm 14 + 5 today and for the last couple of weeks (probably since the ms stopped) I have had really bad mood swings. Mostly just being narkey and snappy at OH for nothing. Which ends up in a huge argument where I say some really really horrible things, that I really don't mean, and then once I've calmed down a little I just end up in tears.

I'm really pushing OH away and I'm sure that he lets so much slide because he knows it's my hormones but I don't want to live like this for another 6 months and potentially ruin our marriage.

Has anyone got any tips on how to cope a little better with mood swings?

Thanks
Stargirl (and Stargirl's OH by proxy!)

Hi Stargirl!

It's tough isn't it?

I have found that explaining to hubby that for no logical reason I feel tetchy or need a good cry works for me.

If I say I need a good cry and a cuddle he will oblige - he doesn't understand (and neither do I) but I feel better after 10 minutes of sobbing

If I don't tell him and I cry for 'no reason' or am tetchy it can lead to an argument - I need to specifically point it out.

God we sound disfunctional!! It works for us though!

Thanks MFD - I will try that the next time.

I'm not always aware that I'm being moody when I am and It tends to be once I've calmed down and we talk it through that I realise what a cow I've been...which brings on the tears.

It's hard work this baby growing malarky isn't it!

MFD: that sounds very sensible! My poor hubby is used to me randomly not talking to him or telling him he's a noob head - something I really must stop as Chris repeated it the other day! :eek:

Stargirl - welcome to our world :roll: It's hard isn't it. I found that I have gone through phases. Some weeks I'm fine, others I'm not. OH has been great and read the pg books and so recognises its hormones. I also find that 'warning' him that I'm feeling hormonal and moody before I start ranting helps him blame the pg and not just me

I also am great at bursting into tears unannounced at the moment

MFD - re: feeding. I'm planning on BF, but am trying to be open minded as with everything else so that I don't set myself up for the fall. However, I have decided not to have any bottles etc bought in advance. I figure that every large supermarket (and JL) near us sell bottles and other paraphanalia that if I need to I will send Hubby out to buy a couple. I think you just have to figure out what you want to do and go with that. If you feel better for being prepared then get a couple for the back of the cupboard.

Had an unexpected visitor pop round this morning with her little boy - it was lovely and I was very pleased that I had done such a thorough cleaning job yesterday now rewarding myself with some mse time and online shopping

Just ordered my birth pool :eek: I'm due in 6wks :eek:

I just think that if I feel a bit tearful then I am bound to be a cow at some point - this way I get a big old cuddle and get to wipe my face on hubbys t-shirt rather than cry into a tissue on my own!!



Sami :eek: god only knows what bubba will come out with when he gets to that age!!

Let me start by saying that I get very anal about things (can I say anal?)

I bought some dummies 'just in case' - I'm not a big fan really but I don't want to be without in the first few days when I might really need them. This way I got to carefully conisider which ones I wanted, read all the packaging and weigh up the pros and cons of the various types. In all honesty, I don't intend taking them out of the packet unless I am tearing my hair out...although I have read stuff about less chance of SIDS with them...

My problem with just sending hubby out is will he get the ones I want? And will I just happily accept them if he doesn't (possible) or will I hate them and sulk (also possible!) and convince myself that they are not good enough (likely) and end up throwing them away!!!

Control freak - me - never

I'm surprised it took him so long to say something bad to be honest coz I'm terrible especially if me n hubby argue the air is most deff blue I used to be such a nice polite thing but 5 yrs working with ruffians from wigan and I swear like a navvy! it did sound quite cute/funny but we managed to not laff and said no thats a grown up word, little boys don't talk like that. I don't think he understood but best to sort it out now he's just a little parrot that repeats everything he hears!

r mac which pool option did you go for in the end?
