Morning ladies,

I'd like to start off by saying that i am totally grateful for having a fairly healthy pregnancy, am 100% happy to be pregnant (took us over 2.5 years to get pregnant), and can't wait to meet my son, introduce him to his big sister, daddy, grandparents etc etc..

Right. OMG, i am SO angry at the moment, all the time. It's really only been this week that it has manifested itself, although i have had bouts here and there (hormonal days as we all do on and off). Every day this week i have felt myself just feeling anger. For the silliest reasons too, like my dh forgetting to put the rubbish bag out before the bins have been collected!! I'm angry at my mum, don't know why. Just generally not in great form, and taking things too seriously. I don't have any "issues" as such, only work part time, no financial worries, i have a healthy family, and for the majority of the time i am a happy-go-lucky kind of person.

Why so angry?? I'm hoping that it's just pregnancy, and it is another phase, i will mention it to mw next week, but just wanted to know if anyone else feels this way? I don't remember feeling like this when pregnant with my little girl.

Please say i'm not alone and i'm not going !!!

It could be the extra testosterone roaming around your body... I haven't had anger, but I am sure it is probably to do with the extra hormones!

I can only say its hormones. I feel the same way a lot of the time. I get angry over the slightest things and daft things just work me up something stupid. I have a 3 year old daughter and find myself getting frustrated and really need to take a break if she is acting up as i could easily shout at her from the top of my voice for just being a toddler! So i need to take five and try and remember she is just a wee girl. My OH doesn't have it so easy though, i do apologies but i know its just the pregnancy x

I do get very angry and upset at the slightest thing sometimes, other times i'm just floating along in my own little world as always. I'm getting very angry at my Mum at the moment as well and she hasn't even done anything wrong, I just can't stand to be around her, which is strange because we're very close.

But I'm having VERY angry dreams, where I've been screaming, shouting and swearing at my mum and dad, really emotional, I end up waking up and crying.

I wouldn't worry about it too much that you're getting angry, its the littlest thing sometimes, and you can probably see you're being totally irrational about it but in your head everybody else is wrong and you make sense. That's how I see my anger :P

Also I felt this same kind of irrational anger when I was on the pill a few times - it HAS to be the hormones, although I hate blaming stuff on them!

I'm sure the hormones will calm down soon and so will you xx

You are NOT alone!!

I have struggled with some serious rages.
When I stopped working, and therefore stopped being so stressed... I suddenly could see what had been happening and felt seriously guilty.

It does seem to just be part of the whole wonderful baby bundle heh.

Big

I know i am in second but this is my fourth pregnancy and i can tell you i had this in all of mine, particulary the boy pregnancy with my son (i suspect this may be a boy too) its definately hormones and can even come from eating a poor diet, not getting enough sleep and depression. I am actually not a very nice person in pregnancy because i snap at everything, my poor kids get hen pecked some days, but simply put, the only way to avoid it, is to not be pregnant....and that cant be undone can it, so everyone, including you, need to grit the teeth and muddle through...as people always say, pregnancy is only nine months out of a lifetime, hang on in there.

I'm the same, I'm sure it's nothing to worry about. xx

I do feel sorry for my other half tho, poor sod!! don't know how on earth he puts up with me sometimes!

At least we've got an excuse, I just hope it stops when the babie's here otherwise what excuse can I use? x

I didn't have this with my daughter, but I have it big time with this one.

I too have no problems in my life, everything is great etc etc, but the rages I get into are actually quite scary. They come on so quickly too. After I have had a bit of a scream (at whoever/whatever has pissed me off) I usually feel guilty straight away, but it doesn't stop it happening again.

So no, you are definitely not alone

Thanks for all your replies, it has made me feel so much better to know i'm not the only one! Have had another angry day, despite having a family day out, i just couldn't relax, enjoy myself and raise a smile! Had a complete go at dh on the way home, and have just had a breakdown now!!! I HATE this feeling, but it is comforting to know that it's most likely just a not so nice side of pregnancy.

its hormone dear...but u should try to change ur activities...i mean go somewhere in fresh air on weekend...anger is not good for u and ur baby...
