Short tempered, arguments and household chores

[BeachyBronzer]

Today has been a really really awful day. Started off this morning feeling pretty happy and relaxed, eating breakfast and looking out at the nice sunshine. Me and DP had just been to the hospital yesterday for a check up and had a scan which puts me a week ahead of what i thought i was. I'm now 17wk+4 But sometimes i feel like its only me who's caring about this pg, he doesn't ever ask me questions about how im feeling or anything. He never starts a conversation about anything baby related. Also i've been trying to organise to get away for a weeks sunshine holiday with him, as i know it will be near impossible after baba is born, but it falls on deaf ears. Its like this pg is all on me and not on us.

So anyways back to this morning, i'm halfway through my bowl of cereal DP gets up and starts banging around in the living room sweeping and cleaning. He knows i hate it if he is making noise when im sitting trying to eat. I get so fired up and angry i could fling the bowl across the kitchen but i don't. I get up and get the vacuum out and don't stop til i've vacummed the whole house.

And all the while i'm doin this i'm getting so breathless and my heart is skippin beats and i've got a low pain in my uterus from the over exertion.

After i finish i have a screaming fight with DP about it and storm off out. He thinks i'm being stupid. But i hate that he can't ever see my point of view. Why couldn't he wait 10 mins til i finished breakfast. I'm so furious at him. I cried the whole way over to my mothers house. And she is out for the day, so i'm here on my own all day. Feelin so sad and frustrated.
And most of all worried about any hurt i might have caused the baby.

Am i really stupid for arguing and screaming like that? Is it just hormones? And should i really be dragging a heavy vacuum around with such rage in me?

Oh now I'm crying again, maybe i'm not cut out for being pregnant.

aww hun dont worry its just all those hormones flying about its perfectly normal try not to stress out too much though its not good for you. Have a nice warm drink and a lovely warm bath and get a good sleep tonight that always makes me feel better xx

I would not complain if my OH decided to clean up off his own back lol! But inknow what you mean, the smallest thing can upset you with all the pregnancy hormones flying around x

Thanks ladies.

Its not like i'm annoyed that he's cleaning, thats fine. And yes its rare so i prob shouldn't be annoyed. But he called me lazy once before (i was sick and couldn't do much at the time) so now if he starts to clean i feel obliged to get up and clean too.

And you know what, he didn't even finish cleaning up, i had to finish it for him. I'm so fed up.

Let him get on with it, don't feel guilty men never finish a job Hun it's normal to get annoyed over strange things when preg x

I think we all have those days. I had one last week. I cried most of the day. DH and I got in a horrible fight I took his car and ended up backin gup into a fire hydrant. OOPS!! I cried about that, then was shopping at the store and my mom called to see what was wrong and I cried in the store. It was a mess, and I was so upset at the time, but now looking at it all it was pretty silly, but hormones and stress can do a lot of different things. I used to vaccum all the time but since I have been pregnant I have DH do it, because its heavy.. Im sure that your LO is just fine.

Thanks ladies. I feel really silly now for letting things get on top of me. I'm not usually a screaming banshee type, but some days i just can't help it.

Now i am dreading having to go back to him this evening.
