Is anyone else SUPER irritable???

***whiney grouchy post warning***

It is so not like to me to be so grouchy and feel so...out of sorts. And yet, I am. I wake up just groggy and unrefreshed and soooooo grumpy. I can't even stand myself anymore.

Pregnancy is NOT good for my body. I forgot how unpleasant it was with my DD and now I remember. For some people it's just wonderful...me, it's not very fun.

I am huge. My back is killing me. My hip hurts something awful - to the point I can't even walk sometimes. My pelvis feels bruised already, like someone kicked me which hurts like hell everytime I get up. I cry about everything. i am hungry ALL the time, I have turned anti-social and can't bear to see people, oh, and to top it off I am the biggest bitch on the planet...I know, wah wah. I hate to whine and complain and i really just try to keep my mouth shut. I wish there was SOMETHING I could do to make myself feel better but nothing helps. Not even exercise. I am simply not myself and feel like an alien has taken over my body. :( Some days ARE better than others but like 80% of the time I feel pretty crappy.

Thanks for letting me cry and vent. Poor DH gets the most of it, for no reason other than these raging hormones.

I just can't wait until this baby is born and I can deal with the PPD (which, judging by how I have felt I WILL have) and then I can enjoy life again. *sigh* only 15 more weeks or so.... :(

Hey, I am with you. :o I don't really love the pelvic pain, backaches, and RIDICULOUS mood swings either. (The stuff I cry about sometimes!)

I hope you are feeling better soon - you'll still be pregnant but i hope some of your symptoms let up. :hug:

Hey Cheryl,

I don't have many physical symptoms right now (except low energy), but I can relate to the emotional hormone ones. I find that all my emotions are magnified so when I'm upset, irritable, or sad I feel it so much more. Dh has put up with a lot during this PG :blush . Don't count on PPD - you'll be dealing with a whole other set of hormones by then :wink . Hang in there!

Oh mama, we can be miserable together then!!!!!!!! I feel the EXACT same way!!! I mean, exactly! I always feel bad, because other than feeling the baby move, I do not really enjoy pregnancy. :( I am sick for at least 4 months, then by 20 weeks or so the aching back, aching-can't-sleep-at-night hips, the shortness of breath, etc. etc. BUT, one thing that has helped TREMENDOUSLY is my pregnancy yoga videos. I'm not kidding, if I didn't have that, I would be completely miserable. It helps to take the aches and pains somewhat away, at least I can comfortably walk!! Really though, you should look into it. :thumb

Anyway, nice to know I'm not the only miserable one. :lol

I am super-irritable today! UGH! And it's all b/c of my dumb cat!!!! OK, mostly it's because of how I'm reacting to my dumb cat's constant neediness and overly loud meowing, but still... UGH!!!!

Joining the miserable and pregnant club!!!!! I am the WORST mother right now and I cannot stand being around myself. Saturday I busted out in tears right inthe middle of Main St USA in Disney. Happiest place on earth, my ass.

Sure am...but perhaps it's the fact that in less than a week I'm moving halfway around the world from ALL signs of family, and my husband thinks he's helping by going shopping on base.
