I am a moody cow.

Really I am.

I have no patience for anyone least of all my DH.
I didn’t have this with my other pregnancies.
The worst time is in the evenings when I just want to swat everyone like a fly.

Seriously though, is there anything I can do to stop it?
How long does it last?

Hmmm, I was like that too, and with me it didn’t go away!!  Now Eliza is here it has but is now replaced by emotional moodswings which normally involve me crying and hugging DH instead.  I didn’t have it last time, I think I did this time because I had a 3 yr old DS with me 24/7 and my brain felt fried by evening with constant questions and demands when I just wanted to “be”.  I got some calm spritzer spray from Neals Yard and a couple of flower remedies and they helped (walnut, cherry plum, impatiens i think, plus child essence for DS!)

Hope it passas for you

I totally felt like this during pg no.4 and hadn’t with the others.  It passed out with the placenta grin

Yikes, so it looks like it’ll be like this until the baby comes. :-(

I hate being like this. *sigh*
