Pregnancy RAGE! « Hellobee Boards

I'm furious!!! For no reason whatsoever!! I want to scream!!!

Yesterday, I was enraged with DH because he put football (soccer) on!! The entire time the game was on, the commentary, the sound of the crowd singing and cheering grated on me and made me grumpier and grumpier. I didn't say anything, I did some deep breathing and sat there while he watched the game...... but I was one breath away from breaking something!

Then today, I was stuck in traffic and didn't get in until almost 9pm. DH was sitting in the lounge watching TV when I got in - and the TV is infuriating me again! He keeps commenting on it, too, and I want to smash the house up I'm so angry!! And I don't know why!! I've never been a fan of watching TV anyway but this is just crazy - I'm just enraged!!! For no reason!

Has anyone else experienced crazy pregnancy rage? I'm not usually like this!! I'm normally quite calm and rational - emotional, yes, but angry - never! I don't know what's come over me!!! I'm about to flip out like a ninja!!! Help!!!

I'm 6 weeks today.

I was definitely crabby during my first trimester over the silliest things!

I've been quick to get angry-- not total rage, but things can bother me quickly. Especially when DH thinks he is joking and I think he is belittling me or putting me down. Like this morning he randomly was saying horses give birth at a gallop (which isn't even true!) and I took it to mean he thinks I'm a wimp that I already needed him to slow down on our walk into work. I know I'm only 6 weeks, but I freaking tired!
So yeah, I get it. I also cry over nothing at all. I'd list the commercials that have made me cry but it would just take all afternoon.

Yep! Yesterday I was like, irrationally angry that this girl at work who just adores my DH friended him on FB. It was like high school all over again. Normally I'd just joke with him, but OMG I was like NOOO YOU DONT LOOVE MEEEEE. Yeesh.

Oh yes! I just yelled at my toddler and stormed downstairs because he said "no" when I tried to put his shirt on. I have no patience with myself or anyone else

@lawbee11: Well, Coventry City FC (where we live) but they're a pretty rubbish team, they don't get on TV!! But he likes watching totally random teams play - he just enjoys football, as most guys here do.

@Cherrybee: We're in the US but my DH is obsessed with the English Premier League...Arsenal is his favorite team.

Yeah for pregnancy rage! I want to snap at anyone who comments on my pregnancy...like people at work who point out really obvious things. "Hey, you're pregnant!" ..."Hey, no S*&+!"

@tororojo: Is 'Hey you're pregnant' better or worse than, "Oh, hey, you're pregnant? I had no idea!" in response to an email about maternity leave starting in a few weeks. My very pregnant coworker was like, did you just think I gained 30 pounds only in my stomach??

That's how I felt the first few weeks of pregnancy, but then something switched and it became impossible for me to get angry!

@Foodnerd81: Ha, yeah that's probably worse...

I just feel like people want to mention my pregnancy for no good reason all the time and I want to stab them. Just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean I want to TALK ABOUT PREGNANCY every time you walk by my desk!

My pregnancy rage is pretty much all smell-related. Because of my constant morning sickness, all strong smells literally make me start gagging. Sometimes I'm in public places and have to try really hard not to start retching. So I get rage...yes, RAGE, when people on the elevator in my building are carrying their stinky food in to-go containers, or when the curry is just emanating off their clothes, or when they fry onions, or when my DH tries to heat up his mom's food (yes, that has curry in it).

Curry and I (who used to be in a love affair) are now absolute enemies. And I hate even the smallest hint of it. It's like I have Spidey sense smell power now. I can smell it if someone had curry for lunch. And I want to puke on their shoes to "teach them a lesson".

Even if rationally, I know it's my problem. It still makes me rage inside.

@Anagram: "And I want to puke on their shoes to "teach them a lesson"

This just made me LOL. I'm sorry you feel so sick, but that sounds exactly like me! I'm all about teaching stupid people lessons (like when they don't get out of the way of open train doors so people can exit). I hope you don't have to puke on anyone's shoes

@Anagram: Oh I sympathise! The woman who works behind me brings egg sandwiches into work for breakfast every morning! I mean who does that?? And they stink!!! To add insult to injury, every day, she says "I'm sorry, these are stinky". So don't bring them to work then!!!!!!! I don't have much nausea, fortunately, but it still makes me furious because, well, I might have! RAA!

Oh yes, I definitely have spurts of negative feelings ranging from mild irritation to outright anger. The weird thing is that I get over them quickly, much more quickly than before I was pregnant. It's like once I express myself, I'm over it.

I seem to be WAY crabbier in the third trimester. I was WAY too tired in the first trimester to be cranky, lol

I totally notice myself going from 0-60 (in terms of anger/irritation) way faster than I do when I'm not pregnant!

I definitely have noticed a bit of rage. I'm normally REALLY chill and relaxed all the time. The other day my boss was really putting the pressure on and giving me a crap load of work (why doesn't he understand how tired i am?) and I almost had a meltdown!

Yes, I remember it well! My two prouder moments: throwing rocks at a neighbor's house because their stupid dogs got out again and screaming at a woman who cut me off pulling into the Dunkin drive thru.
