Mood swings:(

[cacahuete]

I am having a bit of trouble with mood swings this pregnancy, I'm 19 weeks on Monday on number two, and dh and my son came home from football with flowers for me today , and I was not jumping around with excitement . I know it was sweet, but I had asked for no flowers , as sinus issues , plus we live in an apartment where I can't even give the flowers light, so they don't last long at all, so over the years I have reminded dh so many times not to get them, last year he did , and promised this year he wouldn't , so when he came home with them I said thank you, but then got a bit emotional said I was a bit sad that I got flowers again, and that it was just a last minute stop in the shops on way home ( he had said he had to give today because I'll be at swimming with them tomorrow which) so now we just had a big argument and he has told me I'm so ungrateful , which upset me even more as I was just trying to get my feelings out,
I always put so much effort in, Last year for Father's Day he got an engraved travel Alerm clock with a pic of our son for when he travels,
Now I'm just in the bedroom crying, I know my pregnancy hormones are probably not helping but I'm going from sad to angry constantly about it!
these mood swings are horrible

If I specifically asked dh not to buy me flowers and he did anyway, I would probably smile and thank him. He probably thought you would still appreciate the thought. Is it the fact that he got you flowers when you said not to that upset you...or more the fact that it was ONLY flowers and not something more special?
I can understand feeling like he should've done MORE maybe, but try to appreciate the things he HAS done....?

I get where you're coming from with the hormones and emotions running wild. That's possibly playing a big role I'd say. But try to remember, dh most likely feels rejected and hugely unappreciated (not saying I haven't gone through a very similar thing as this once or twice).
maybe your message to him would've been received better if delivered in a cutesy joking manner?...i don't know, just a thought.
I hope you two are able to straighten it out soon... **hugs

Thanks I said sorry, I really wasn't having a go! Just felt a bit sad as I'm allergic and with Preg I'm sneezing more than ever, so thought he would remember flowers were a no no! The argument only happened after he started shouting how ungrateful I was, anyway it's all sorted ! I'll just buy more tissues lol till the flowers are gone !

Happy Mother's Day to the mommies and mommies to be!!
