Impatience while pregnant...suggestions?

[RosemaryBaby]

I managed a pretty low key set of emotions during the first trimester, despite a bunch of non-pregnancy related stressors happen. It was nuts to say the least. Now that that has all settled down and I have entered the supposed easier second trimester, I feel like I have lost all patience, both with my OH and DD. Sometimes I walk around feeling like I am suppressing a scream and might pop! Especially you ladies with more than one, how did you handle dealing with your other child(ren),and or your OH, when your hormones were going a bit nutty? And omg why is this worse in second trimester!?!?

I'm going to be a FTM so I don't have any children. I do however work for adults with developmental disabilities such as autism, cerebral palsy, and Down syndrome. I have to walk away sometimes at work because I lose my patience way too easily. I think it's hormones because I've always been able to keep my cool. I get so frustrated that I walk away, take a deep breath, and then continue with work. I'm hoping and praying it'll get better in the third trimester but I'm pretty doubtful haha

Same my ds and hubby annoy me so bad some times I feel overwhelmed. Still haven't figured a way to manage sadly.

At least knowing that I am not the only one feeling like this helps a little. Impatience loves company or something like that, lol!

I have zero patience and I just have to walk away xx

I stress so easily at dd and hubs lately, I feel terrible after doing so but I just can't help it. Your definitely not alone

I fly off the handle at any little provocation also.. which is so weird because when I was pregnant with DD it had the opposite effect. I was so laid back and happy and go-with-the-flow with her but now that I'm pregnant (DS this time) I have no patience, a horrible attitude and I get rage like I've never had in my life before. I feel out of control some days but I'm hoping it just all passes, otherwise I might need some Xanax after this baby!

I am the same! No patience at all at the moment. My DD had a very whiny day the other day and then throw a major tantrum when i put her down for a nap which i must admit i was really looking forward to just for some time on my own. Anyhow so had a major tantrum and kept crying and i ended up just sitting next to her crying as well! We ended up cuddles in the sofa watching a movie. Xx

There are moments I just want to scream to get away from me. I don't, but I feel bad for even thinking it. Doesn't help that DD is still nursing so she is always pawing at my sore nipples. At least OH can understand why I am irritable, though that almost makes it worse cause I figure he should know better and that sets me off too! I feel nuts some days!

You're not alone. I've fallen victim to the "pregnancy rage" more than once, lol. I just have to walk away. It's the only way I know how to deal.

Same issue here ladies, exceot I'm terrible to my amazing DH. I know I'm being unreasonable but in the moment I can't control it.

I was short tempered and low on patience with DS#2. Now with #3 I seem to have more patience!! So weird how things change from pregnancy to pregnancy.
