Pregnancy Hormonal Mood Swings - mostly humorous

They are just LOVELY!

Combined with my BPD, I am having a FABULOUS time.

I remember a post someone made about the inside of maxi pads having warnings on them like "put down the hammer" and "violence is not the answer", lol. I am seriously considering hanging signs around the apartment.

Ready to throw cat out the window, since for some reason he insists on plaintatively meowing all day and night. I think he does it just to annoy me, because when i go to pick him up he dashes away.

Thinking about creating a pillow fort in my room and never leaving it again. I'll arm myself with all the hairballs my female cat has been puking up, and will chuck them at anyone who tries to undermine my new society.

Discovered I am getting saggy boobs already, and no bra will fit me. Things just jiggle around at random. I'm sure the brusing on my face from the last time I jumped off the couch will fade in the next week or so. Almost knocked the kitten out when I rolled over in bed.

I think my hips are coming apart at the seams, they feel like jelly. Oh well, that can go along with the rest of my chubbyness that feels like jelly too. Maybe I'll just turn into a jelly blob, green flavored jelo would be nice.

Debated on moving on to the moon, except I don't think they have internet there, and I would miss PC. Right now, thats about all I would miss though. The rest of everything can take a long hike of a short bridge, and get eaten by sharks when they make it to the water.

Hey - maybe I'll move to africa and become one of those indiginous tribal folk - then I wont have to worry about my saggy boobs not fitting into a bra. I can just let them feel the breeze

Star trek made me cry today. Dust made me cry today. The cat made me cry today. And then there was the times i burst into tears for no reason - I think i might be hysterical since I was also laughing at myself at the same time I was crying. Neighbors now definetly know Im completely mad. oh well, good, they will stay the hell away from me and then I dont have to chance saying something I will regret in a fit of sarcasm.

Throwing things is beginning to look appealing - I need to go to one of those weddings where they break dishes. Or maybe work for a demolition company temporarily.

Also thought about laying on the floor and throwing a three year old tantrum, but I cant lay on my stomach due to saggy boobs and chubby belly getting in the way - I just flop around like a beached whale.

Oh the irony of everything.

oh man those pregnancy hormones are raging! hehe they will even out soon. how many weeks are you now?

Rain!!!
I am excited for you in your pregnancy. Yes, there are a lot of physical changes going on, aren't there! I recall that I did a lot of stretching exercises Yoga type during that time.
I hope you feel well.
Love

I remember those raging hormones, I just wanted to put myself in a locked room all alone for 9 months. During my 2nd pregnancy, I also had the "horny" hormones for the full 9 months. My husband and I still laugh about it.

In the end, the physical and emotional changes are SO worth it!!!!

bebop,

I'm 12 weeks along now! So through the first trimester anyways! First ultrasound end of this week!

seeker

Yoga, hmmmm thats VERY interesting to me and may help with my constant frustration with everything as well. I think I'll have to try it!

Dee,

Oh, I have those "horny" hormones too. My dreams at night are so promiscuous I worry about catching a sleep STD! Its a different person every dream! Good lord, lol.

oh man... now you're freaking me out about the boobs. I'm a little irritable, but haven't had any major mood swings yet. I have been attributing the irritability to the fact that I'm exhausted. I've been going to bed around 7pm lately. This is the most I've ever slept in my life!

I hope you feel better, Rainbowzz. You might have a neighbor on the moon in a few weeks...

The hormonal fun begins! LOL! My husband was afraid to say anything to me at one point. I would either cry or laugh or both. I had some crazy dreams as well. They kinda went through stages. I had the horny dreams, Dreams of giving birth to different animals, Dreams of protecting my baby from horrible things, and food dreams. (Particullary Woppers, I craved woppers my whole pregnancy)

I've been having dreams that I'm at a party or out to dinner, and absentmindedly I'll pick up a drink. Next thing I know, I've gone through 1/2 bottle of wine and then I freak out because I remember that I'm pregnant! My most recent dream about this (I've had six so far) is that I drank 3 chocolate martinis.

I don't know why I'm so worried about accidentally drinking. I'm not even a very big drinker.

No food or horny dreams, though, but I hear that's common.

Lmo,

About the saggy boobs thing - I wouldnt worry too too much, Im a pretty big girl so Ive been blessed with D cups anyways to begin with!

I've had another recent develiopment - Waking up mid-night and having to EAT because im starving! lol!

I'm not small either, so that's why I'm worried. Gravity and all

I wish I could eat more. I'm finding that I'm having a hard time eating even a regular amount of food, let alone adding 300 calories a day. I get stuffed really easily - it's weird. I wish I was like that pre-pregnancy! Did that happen to you, too?

yes in fact it has. I find I have to eat every so often in small, just a few bite meals or else it makes me feel overstuffed and thus nauseaus.. I dont know if its pregnancy thing or if its because of the nausea though.

Well, I'm not nauseated at all, so I think it must be a pregnancy thing, although I'm not sure why. In fact, I noticed that I couldn't eat as much, even before I knew that I was pregnant. I had never heard this symptom before.

I have been using the boards at Babycenter. Not too bad, but hard to navigate around, and almost impossible to find your old posts. PC is much slicker from a technology and design standpoint.

(I love watching this thread...so I know what to expect one day tee hee. Keep talkin!)

Congrats to both of you! And Rain... your first post made me ROFL!!! My fiance teases me all the time about how I'm going to be the crankiest pregnant woman ever... considering how I am now. I'm also happy to see that studies are showing that antidepressants don't hurt the baby and that it's even preferable to stay on them if you are depressed. I was very worried about going off of them...
