Help Im turning into a witch!

Ok So has anyone's personality just completely change? I am 25 weeks today, and I have been noticing the fact that I am turning into a complete "B"AND THAT IS SO NOT ME!! I am usually a really laid back down to earth and very, very, mellow kind of girl. At work I am a supervisor and my staff are starting to make little comments on how I've changed kinda like they are afraid of me. The killer part is I feel it coming ,when I am about to start ranting on somebody but I can't help it or stop it! They are saying it's my hormones that are getting the best of me but I really don't even think it is that. I just think being pregnant opened my eyes to see a lot B/S that I never noticed before because all my rants on whoever they might be(and it is just about anyone) are justifiable. I'm just starting to notice little things about everyone that annoys me, and instead of not saying anything about it and keeping it to myself I am beginning to call them on it. But the thing is I want to be a happy happy pregnant. This is my first one, not an evil little b*tch. Will it go away is it just a phase I've been like this for almost 3 weeks. And I don't want it to stay and I end up being a "mean mommy" Any advice?

 

No advice here, but some support. I'm going through the same thing. I've been totally crazy too. My husband got home from work last night and although he called and said he was going to be late, I yelled at him, told him he had a girlfriend, that he doesn;t love me,etc. etc. He's been about as patient as I think any man can be, but he just kept saying to me "good night shannon, I love you" which for some reason made me even more mad. And none of this is like me at all either!!!! Must be the double the hormone thing really. Good luck though!

 

i can understand...my mom said it good "the things that are bothering you are things that you have always seen and known...the hormones are just intesifying those feeling" I had to stop and think about that for a moment, and i had to agree. Things that would bother me before and i would just let slide are now "big" issues.

I say that the hormones are a contributing factor, I know for me aswell, i can feel the crankiness just creeping in and taking over my entire personality...almost like I have no control! I have learned that sometime if i take just a few minutes by myself, it seems to help...a walk, a bath, run up to the store if i need more time...or my favorite, i just crawl into bed and have a snooze.

You are not alone

I hope that helped out a bit

 

oh yah...I do not think you are going to be a mean mommy...you are going to be amazing!!! Keep in mind our bodies are going through some tremendous changes and sometimes it is just hard to keep up with them all.

Once you hold your little ones, everything will be fine :hug99:

 

Oh my gosh, I turned completely HATEFUL when I was pregnant. No one could do a thing right!! It was soo bad. Like you, I felt it coming and then knew I was being completely irrational but just couldn't stop!! I think it calmed down for me the last couple of weeks and I was back to me shortly after they were born.

 

OMG pregnancy hormones are the worst!!! DH and I had some of the stupidest fights while I was pregnant mostly cuz I was being a biotch

 

You are not alone. It will get better, but pregnacy hormones are the worst, and then you have two in there it gets twice as bad. xoxoxox

 

yeah, i'm right there with you! and my DH - who is SUPER sensitive - is always like, "why are you so edgy?" finally last night i said, "look, man, you'd better grow a stronger shell than that, and stop saying i'm hurting your feelings all the time! i'm the pregnant one here, and it's not going to get any easier for me from here!" he just said, "..... okay..... "
and EVERYONE is ALWAYS in my way!

 

I used to feel it coming on and would just tell everyone to not talk to me and I would let them know when they were 'safe' to talk to me again. I found it usually directly correlated to hunger or tiredness. I would try to take care of those issues if at all possible (obviously sleeping isn't possible always) then give the all clear for people to approach me again.

I agree with you 100% since it is not my usual personality he starts to smile and even laugh a little like its funny or something and that really makes my blood boil =@ something serious. Like he is not even taking me serious or something. he is beter off ignoring me.

I'm glad someone else can feel it creeping in on them too, because I truly cannot stop it. Your mom is so right!

 

Nearly everyone I know had a baby before me, and most of them turned into witches (with a 'B') when pregnant. So I knew that because i am already pretty outspoken and a tad bossy that I'd probably be the pregnant person from ****. And knowledge, as they say, is power. I think it's just PMS x 100.
Sometimes the littlest thing will set me off and I start storming around the house. If the bf says anything I just say - I'm in a mood - leave me alone. Then if he says anything it;s at his own risk. :winking0009:
I have also said to him - 'well, if you cant handle the fact that everything is YOUR FAULT. then we're gonna have some serious problems for the next few months' we both cracked up after I said that.
Hey, at least he knows now.

 

I am feeling you here too. I am 23 weeks and these harmones are crazy. Some days are better than others and I can feel the evilness coming on also when I am about to explode. I have just learned to tell my husband when I am about to go crazy and explode and he usually just helps me through it. I am usually an EXTREMELY self confident person but I am just not right now. I cry a lot and have a lot of emotional problems lately. I know it will go away soon after these little ones arrive. My last 2 pregnancies I had emotional problems, just not this bad.

 

You are so not alone. I used to think that pregnancy hormones or even PMS were a myth until I got pregnant with my first son. I could feel myself getting ready to explode. My poor husband was usually the one who had to deal with me. He has learned to stay away from me at times and deal with it. I really don't know how something so little makes me so angry, but it does. I usually try to warn my husband when I am having a bad day and that it would be better to leave me alone. After I deliver I go back to my normal self. It is just one of those wonderful parts of pregnancy you have to deal with. Just remember that it is not permanent.

 

I also have noticed that I turn into a monster sometimes...usually around 6 or 7pm in the evening. What I've done is to do my best to be aware of when it is about to happen, I get a specific feeling (usually anger or rage) then I do whatever I can to go somewhere where I can be alone for 1/2 hour or so. My husband works in the evenings, so I'm alone with my 2 1/2 year old and I really don't want her to think that he mommy is crazy! When I feel myself start to get irratated, I let her watch 1/2 hour video in her room while she lays in bed, or if she doesn't want to do that, I hop in the shower (that's the only place she doesn't follow me). I stay in the shower while she watches TV and it allows me to just breathe and relax.

Thanks so much for posting - I totally feel the same way - I suddenly turn into this angry, scary, lunatic and start thinking crazy things that make me feel even angrier at least a few times a week. Luckily I've noticed that it's usually because I'm tired or hungry so I'm doing my best to try and affect as few people as possible.

If only I could chill out and relax with a cold brew!

I am going through the same thing and have been for about a month now!! And it keeps being directed at one of my friends in particular, she has always been a big B.S.'r and normally I just overlook her lies and competitiveness. But lately every time she says something stupid I call her out on it and have to say something, EVERY TIME. So we've had several arguments the last couple of months, to say the least. But it's like you said, it's something that has always been there and is only now getting on my nerves.

Oh my, can I identify with that one. The girl that was supposed to throw my shower didn't because I didn't let her. I was put on modified bedrest, she had dropped the ball and didn't get the room reserved early enough...So, when another friend offered to help out, I did the invites myself to have it at my house. I sent the original girl an invite, that is how she found out.

Mind you, I had tried to call, but she was never available. She has to do everything her way, which I let her do for my bachlorette party and wedding shower, but I was simply in no mood to cater to HER when these are MY babies!! My other friends as well as family and DH said, "I wondered when you would put your foot down with her. She just likes to make herself look good.

So, I definately agree with things and feelings simply coming to the surface and blowing up. We just can't seem to be diplomatic or even mousy right now. We just tell it like it is, and if ppl don't like it, they just need to back up! Just like my mom who just came 2000 miles to 'help out' even though the twins aren't here yet. :diablo:

Oops, that's another story. Good Luck, Monique, not killing your workers though. Make sure you keep good records of your blowups so they don't come back to haunt you when they are legitimate.

Chill with a cold brew! I feel you on that one! I crave for just one drink so bad now and barely did when I could. But I am too chicken to even try a glass of wine.....which is why I'm withcy

I agree, I agree there a definitely people I target that have been annoying me for the longest. And I really get at them and blame it on my pregnancy. I have a friend just like yours but really self centered and selfish so I definitely Let her have it but all she says is how I am such a miserable pregnant and she can't wait until it's over. Oh well i don't care

 

I feel like a *itch lately too. But i am feeling more "huge" everyday.. So maybe that has something to do with it?

 

i become a witch when I am hungry or tired and when i get food and sleep i feel much better
