I am pregnant and I get legitimately hangry. Like I become a different person Since I stay home I usually end up taking it out on my kids, which really isn't fair, and I get really upset with myself if I scream at or around them. I noticed it was way worse when I was hungry so now I make sure I always have a granola bar in my purse or some of my toddler's gold fish. </p> <p>If I have a particularly ragey day then I try to give myself a pep talk the next morning before I get out of bed. I guess it's cheesy but I try to set an intention for a better day and to be more patient. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-pregnancy-makes-me-horrible#post-2875677 Fri, 08 Mar 2019 19:03:35 +0000 MrsKRB 2875677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just offering commiseration, I’m so moody s d cranky when I’m pregnabt. I feel like I don’t have patience for anyone 🙈 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-pregnancy-makes-me-horrible#post-2875674 Fri, 08 Mar 2019 18:46:09 +0000 pachamama 2875674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was also ragey. I was never this way until pregnancy and kids. I hate it. The only thing I could suggest is exercise..?. But mostly just understanding. my opinion is that our bodies and minds are hijacked by pregnancy/hormones and every day it's a struggle to rein in the hormonal storm going on. Solidarity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-pregnancy-makes-me-horrible#post-2875665 Fri, 08 Mar 2019 17:52:55 +0000 MenagerieMama 2875665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyPenny: excellent question and I’m defintirly worse when sleep deprived. But I have been sleeping better the past week (after getting over 2 weeks of illness) and make getting to be early a major priority. So for better or worse I don’t think that helps :bummed: I also get really hangry (am I just a toddler again?!) so I’ve actually been making sure I have lots of snacks and some juice actually for when my blood sugar feels like it’s tanking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-pregnancy-makes-me-horrible#post-2875664 Fri, 08 Mar 2019 17:50:51 +0000 JennyPenny 2875664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MenagerieMama: Are you getting enough sleep? I find I'm my worst when I'm tired and that's when I'm least able to control my own feelings. And being pregnant sure doesn't make it easy to get sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-pregnancy-makes-me-horrible#post-2875658 Fri, 08 Mar 2019 17:18:13 +0000 MenagerieMama 2875658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’ll keep this short - pregnancy makes me a b—— to my loved ones, mostly my poor husband but I also have less patience with my 2 kids, though I’m much better about tempering that. I’m 17 weeks with #3 and I’m tired of raging sndbgrtting into useless fights. We have a decent amount of high stress things going on (selling a house across the country) and I basically run most of the household and am the breadwinner and primary parent. But it’s also not really an excuse to be so ragey. </p> <p>How can I do better? In the moment I just can’t scale it back and I’m a decently stubborn person at baseline which doesn’t help. </p>
