These mood swings are driving me mad!


coasterqueen wrote: I don't know what my problem is. I don't know if it's pg hormones, bedrest or the weather or the holidays or a combination of everything. Yesterday I was in such a good mood and got LOTS of work done at work....work that NEEDS to be done I'm so far behind. Today I just don't feel like doing a thing. I don't even feel like posting...so I've basically been lurking. sad.gif I keep having thiese up/down days and it's just driving me crazy. It's not very enjoyable at all. sad.gif

I'm editing with another vent, sniff sniff. Everyone and I mean everyone I met over the holiday said "When are you due". I would tell them April. They ALL said "OMG, I thought you were like due early January. You are HUGE". bawling.gif bawling.gif bawling.gif What made me feel even worse is DH said the same thing last night. I know he didn't mean to hurt my feelings or anything. I think he's overly concerned of how BIG I really am already. sad.gif Also today I had to go to a meeting and one of the ladies said "wow, I bet you are happy you are going to be having that baby here real soon.". I said "well I'd be even happier if I didn't have 20 more weeks to go". She said "OMG, I figured you were due before the end of they year just by looking at you.". bawling.gif bawling.gif bawling.gif bawling.gif bawling.gif bawling.gif I've already gained 30 pounds and I'm only going to be 21 weeks Thursday. I only gained 40 total with Kylie. If I go past 40 I'm not going to make it emotionally. I just won't. sad.gif

5littleladies replied: (((((((HUGS)))))))) Karen! This pregnancy has been such a rollercoaster for you, I'm not surprised that your emotions are doing the same. Just remember it will be over sooner than it seems and this will all be a distant memory. I'm sorry people are being so inconsiderate in what they say. I agree with Aimee-I'm sure you look wonderful!! wub.gif Hang in there!! grouphug.gif grouphug.gif

There's a great big hug for you Karen! I hate insensitive people like that who should just keep their mouths shut. You need some pampering wink.gif . I wish I could spoil you for a day wink.gif .

wub.gif I bet you are beautiful too.

A&A'smommy replied: ((((((BIG HUGS)))))) I'm SO SO sorry your going through this pregnancy is difficult enough without having the stress of bedrest, and holidays added to it! Secondly Karen you ARE beautiful and the weight will come off no matter how much you gain you will back down to your normal size in no time! and let me just say mood swings SUCK and pregnancy harmones omg just make you want to go into a hole! Hang in there sweetie you don't have much longer!

jcc64 replied: Karen,
I remember the mood swings well. They totally suck. And while I didn't gain a lot of weight with any of the kids, I'm feeling completely miserable about my appearance these days. I can't even look in the mirror anymore, and when I recently saw a pic of myself, it sent me into a tailspin, and yet I can't seem to do anything about it. WTF is wrong with me- and I don't even have the excuse of being pg. So, if misery loves company, move over sister!

MyBlueEyedBabies replied: I'm sorry. The mood swings do really suck.....I would cry all day when i was pg w/ Katy and i almost never know why, then the next day I was all giggles again for no apparent reason.

As for being bigger, you show, gain, everything faster with the second pregnancy. I was EXTREEMY sick with both kids so lost weight first and was still huge by 20 weeks with MAtt.

ediep replied:
how inconsiderate!!! I would be upset too if people said things like that to me when I was preg. I am sure you look beautiful!

I honestly think that people don't think before they speak!!! My friend was preg 2 years ago and she is very tall...(just about 6 feet tall) and she wasn't big at all. She actually had some lady tell her that there must be something wrong with her baby because she is too small!!! Can you believe that this woman is walking around thinking that is OK to say to a pregnant person!!!

MommyToAshley replied: grouphug.gif Those darn PG hormones, I hated the mood swings.

And, I remember those comments all too well. When I was 6 months PG, people would always ask if I was due any day, and when I told them my due date, most would say, "OMG! You must be having twins!" mad.gif But, I really slowed down on the weight gain the last few months... I thought it was kind of odd. But, whenever I got those comments, I just tried to ignore them and just do what is best for the baby. I've seen your pictures, you're beautiful and you can worry about weight after the baby is born...even though I am sure you won't have to worry about it at all. Hang in there... you're over half way, that is something to celebrate!

Littlejojames replied: God Karen, why is it people cant keep there thoughts like that to themselves??

All i want to do all day long is cry, everything and anything sets me off, sat here crying now dont even know why bawling.gif When we was ttc i dont remeber signing up for this.........

Just remember that people's negative opinions dont count and that as long as you and the baby are healthy thats all that matters.....

coasterqueen replied: I just wanted to say thanks ladies. You always know how to make me feel better. I did better today, not as moody...although I think I passed it on to DH because he was moody when he got back from his day business trip today. tongue.gif

Maybe I'm feeling better because I get to go see the doc in the morning and see my beautiful baby again. blush.gif
