Not Myself!

[jinkel]

I'm not sure what's gotten into me today. I have never felt less myself than these last few hours. I am, quite honestly, a B*TCH. : I'm never like this! I'm always so happy, and easygoing - it's quite unsettling. Heck, I've never even experienced PMS, or any of those famous roller coaster pg emotions before.

Luckily, I've managed to not take it out on ds (he's in bed now), or dh - - but I did pre-emptively apologize to dh, just in case I *happen* to strike (like a cobra) sometime this evening.

I'm a little confused, since I'm feeling fine physically, and I'm not feeling rushed about labor or anything, although today is technically my EDD - maybe I *am* feeling bugged about that? I honestly didn't think I had any issues with it.

I feel like someone has taken over my body, and I'm being dragged along for the ride. : Anyone else going through this?

Hormones are changing. It's pretty normal to feel like that even if you are physically feeling fine. I was due Saturday and while I am comfortable and enjoy the end of pregnancy and knew I'd go over since I've had two late babies already I still feel pretty crabby today.

I turned into SUPER-b*tch during the last part of my pregnancy too--I mean beyond the boundaries of b*tchy into something evil. I really shocked myself. I am hoping my recent awesome birth will move me far beyond all that!

Hang in there!

I had a mood swing yesterday. I was folding laundry while my husband cleaned our reef tank so we were chatting and having a nice time when all of a sudden something overcame me and I turned into a beast and ripped all my clothing out of the closet and started throwing coathangers. I had this choking feeling inside that nothing could be organized! He just laughed and didn't get offended (because I also ripped into him for not doing a couple projects that I have been asking him to do for months) I settled down eventually.

But I'm definitely there with you. I've been pretty mellow this whole pregnancy but the inner beast rears its ugly head sometimes.

Ya know I thought I wouldn't have any issues with going to be my EDD and not ripping someone's head off. I told myself that I had prepared to go a week over, and I am finding as I get within a day of the second date that they guessed (first they guessed the 2nd, then the 4th, then back to the 2nd, then back to the 4th, and then I switched from my OB to my midwives, who just told me early July. SUCH a better approach) Unfortunately, I had been tainted already, and kept thinking okay, so either the 2nd or the 4th, because they were so concerned with having that date in my file that it must be correct. Well, yesterday was the 2nd and I spent all night having nice intense contractions, that just stopped all of the sudden, and I don't think anything else is going to happen again for a week. I am so sorry to hijack your thread, but I guess what I am getting at is, yeah, I am a super b@#^@ too, but I think I am just upset about my EDD, which I told myself over and over I wouldn't do.

I am so sorry to hear that you are going through a bad day like that! I hate when I don't know why I am angry and then realize that I may have taken it out on other's. It's not a good feeling!

My MW says that crabbiness is a sign of impending labor!

Wouldn't that be good news - - heh heh....well, provided that labor kicks in before there are any casualties in the house. : I am one super bitchy cobra...

I'm not being a b@#ch per say but i am excluding myself and hiding. Dh is home and i'm letting him care for the girls more than usual. They are happy that their daddy is here but they are starting to miss me.

I'm also thinking this is a sign that labor is coming soon. When i don't know but i really hope soon, real soon.

I don't remember doing this for the others pgs.

That sounds like me right now. I've felt really sad today-and scared-not sure if its normal, but I just want to be alone. For the first time in my life I understand why mama kitties move into the closet before birthing...I'm tempted to do the same.

same here!

If crabbiness is a sign of impending labor I wish the labor fairy would visit me soon. 3 days over and counting...

If crabbiness were a sign of impending labor, I would have had a major premie.

Not for the same reason, but I have definitely felt like I was not at all myself at times, and I didn't particularly like the person I was being! Don't be too hard on yourself; you've got a lot of powerful hormones swooshing around!
