I am a high energy positive person usually. I’ve turned into this irritable, grumpy, miserable person since I’ve been pregnant. I’m 25 weeks with my first (it’s a girl) and I am 33 years old. I am constantly throwing up, having brutal heart burn, having back and lower leg pain, etc. I am so happy I am not the only one in this situation!

[...] a year of trying to conceive, enduring multiple miscarriages, and a miserable pregnancy, I thought the hardest days of becoming a mother were behind me. I was ready for the happiest time [...]

I have nicknamed myself grumpapotomus. Im 17 weeks and so moody that I barely talk to jy friends anymore ( they annoy me with their non pregnant skinny bodies. ) I will re connect after I have baby lol. My poor husband has been great though. (I just want to punch him in the face sometimes) im so glad im not alone in my grumpiness and that im not a total witch. Hormones suck.

Hey there! I’m mum to 3 beautiful children ages 3, 6 & 9 and trying for another. For me pregnancy was he’ll on earth. It’s still traumatic all of them to this day. From day one I’m in an awful mood hate my husband poor thing I manage to find fault even when there is none (Shh don’t tell I said that) but I’m sick all the time 50 times a day 20+ at night the heartburn kills I swell like a balloon normally gaining 8+ stone which is so not fair I eat nothing and throw up constantly. (don’t worry if this is you the weight drops off instantly, even breastfeeding I lost 7 of the 8 stone within 4weeks) that’s like a whole other person! What else oh yes I was in agony with SPD my pubic bones separated about 5inch you could feel the gap in the middle could walk at all was bandaged from boobs to knees in one giant tube the type you wear with a sprain. My children say I looked like a caterpillar. My heart stopped my babies heart stopped constantly (I have a heart condition but it wasn’t diagnosed till after my last pregnancy) there was more… What was it… Oh I remember it’s all coming back to me, I also had extreamly high blood pressure which because I couldn’t stay in hospital for 9 months (joys of having children already) I had to go in everyday and sit on a bed for 3 hrs to be monitored. Where I had the strongest brackston hicks that they thought I was in labour from 6months on they were so strong they were registering as full blown contractions on the machine. 3 months like that all day everyday no wonder baby went into disstress I was. I always get induced early which means your body just isn’t ready and it’s a bit forced so they tend to be longer despite walking round constantly all three births took three days I was exhausted. Therewas more lots more but you get the point pregnancy was either looking down at the toilet or the hospital ward. I hated it when people told me to rest I had kids and a house and a disabled sister to look after and I was in hell. One last thing needed 66stitches after my first. 66! All internal high up god knows what happened. This is the sad bit now, I’ve lost 3 trying for number 4, I just want to stop, maybe it’s my bodies way of saying I’ve done enough but hubby really wants to keep trying. It’s hard! The baby at the end makes it all worth while but he doesn’t go through it all and works away from home (not anymore) so never saw just how bad it was. He thinks it’s normal to be in hospital everyday because I was. Anyway as far as grumpy preggies, think I’m queen! And I want a giant big badge that says so. Maybe a t-shirt with a big fat warning sign across the bump! Good luck to you all and speaking from experience it all just melts away when your back home holding your little one. Well nearly!

Awwww I love this post! I’m 9 weeks, cannot get enough sleep and want to murder my dear partner on a good day. I want to be nice but I have the hissing thing and the death stares, same as Red. How dare he be sweet, energetic and motivated to get things done around the home?!?! All I see is him deliberately making me feel even more lazy than I am right now! Just being near him makes me cringe and grind my teeth! Please tell me that this horrible pregnant woman will soon bloom into a radiant mother ship…..

@AmyN I also hated when people would say something like, “only 6 more weeks until you feel better (2nd trimester).” 6 more weeks!? I couldn’t do one more day. (But somehow I did). @NicoleN and @Red – you are soooo my people. Life is far from over! It may never be the same but I think I’ve lived more life in the last 9 years as a mom than I ever did before. (Maybe because I’m AWAKE for so much more of it?!)

Wow …. I am very pleased to know that I am not the only one who just feels like hating the world!!! I am 9 weeks with my first and really not sure if I can deal with these emotions much longer!! My poor finace is also the most loving, kind and supportive man I could ask for! But bless him for dealing with me flipping out about dumb stuff. Plus I never really noticed when others were pregnant but the amount of people who have the nerve to say “your life is over now”! To me that’s just rude!! I don’t feel like life is over — I feel it’s just started! Most women wait their entire life to become a mom! Hang in there ladies because there has to be an end it sight!!!

Hey all. I have become the biggest bitch to my loved ones and my fiance (bless him) is the most loving, kind and supportive man on this planet. He tells me it is normal in pregnancy, but honestly, I am going insane with the grumps. I hate feeling so bad and being so mean all the time. “don’t touch me” “you stink” “is there any need??!!!!!” the pissed stares that I give him…. I am horrible and I can feel inside that I want to be nice and gratefull for his loving patience but when I open my mouth, it’s like I hiss at him. I have Fibromyalgia and Endemetriosis too which doesn’t help as I am a grump when tired and in pain. Please oh please tell me this grumpiness will go away…. I don’t want to be this monster for the rest of my life.
