Someone told me how I couldn't eat this appetizer thing at the mixer we were at and I just wanted to scream at them, "Do you THINK I'm an idiot?" It was a lunch meat based roll type thing. And she was scarfing them down by the dozens. Idk if she was rubbing it in my face or just making sure I knew all about the risks of listeria from lunch meat. Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hormonal-raging#post-396317 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 05:29:53 +0000 sorrycharlie 396317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh! I remember a co-worker TELLING me I couldn't have the Tylenol I was shaking into my hand. I just told her my OB approved it. End of story.</p> <p>You can tell people, "I'll check with my doctor" if you don't want to be rude but want to (try to) end the conversation :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hormonal-raging#post-396262 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 01:17:58 +0000 sarac 396262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not pregnant, and if someone commented on me drinking a SODA, for christ's sake, I'd want to punch them too. It's not as though you're drinking listeria. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hormonal-raging#post-396092 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 21:42:07 +0000 ladyfingers 396092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. Normal. In my second trimester I was a tear factory. I still get emotional but it's more rage-y now. And I will never forget July 4 when I was about 9 weeks and trying to make 7-layer dip with unripe avocados. I became so enraged that eventually there was sour cream all over the walls, I had pulled a drawer off its hinges, and the contents of half our lower cabinets were strewn all over the floor.</p> <p>And yes, I get sick of hearing what people have to say too, particularly lately when it's all "wow, are you having twins?" and "you're about to pop!" when I'm having a singleton and I still have 3 months to go. The other day a lady at work saw me walking down the hall and started going, "waddlewaddlewaddle" and laughing.</p> <p>Anyway. Yes, normal hormonal pregnant lady reaction. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hormonal-raging#post-396048 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 21:11:27 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 396048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You're crazy ;) and you will be for a few weeks after delivery. I was a friggn nut job. Hormones are no joke....but it went away (for me at least) at about 2w PP. And thank God! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hormonal-raging#post-395960 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 20:13:30 +0000 prettylizy 395960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally normal, come here and vent, it makes you feel better. You can't win, if you follow the mainstream, someone super granola is going to tell you why that's wrong, if you differ from the social norm, some mainstreamer is going to call you crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hormonal-raging#post-395952 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 20:11:19 +0000 Bao 395952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lol very normal!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hormonal-raging#post-395849 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 19:05:52 +0000 JessiBee 395849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Normal! Still hating unsolicited advice. I'm heading toward 27 weeks, and have been doing more bursting into tears than wanting to scream at people, but I've definitely been on all ends of the crazy emotions spectrum these last few months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hormonal-raging#post-394945 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 12:15:42 +0000 MamaMoose 394945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh totally normal. Especially when people feel the need to give unsolicited advice. I usually just smile and nod. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hormonal-raging#post-394941 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 12:14:42 +0000 meredithNYC 394941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha - totally normal! It really is rough.</p> <p>Also, I think getting unsolicited advice from people is annoying no matter what, so it makes sense that it would be extra annoying while pregnant. It sucks to have your every move watched/commented on :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hormonal-raging#post-394836 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 11:45:51 +0000 lomom 394836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like I have the worst case of PMS ever. I'm almost 14 weeks and I feel like I've lost all control of my emotions. </p> <p>Partly, I'm just sick and tired of hearing everyone's $0.02. No matter what I do, I get advice and it makes me crazy. I KNOW it's just part of the territory and it'll continue forever but right now, I'm just exhausted by it. I drank a soda and had four people comment that caffeine and artificial sweeteners are bad for the baby. I nearly slugged the fourth person. </p> <p>Is this normal? Or am I just crazy? </p>
