Husband Help - Myrtle Beach,SC

Hi R.'
Hilarious!!! Talk to him when you are feeing good. Tell him that this pregnancy is very different and you can't take whatever he's doing. Tell him that your fuse is very short and you will need some room at times and a little extra help and explain that some things may not get done (laundry, food shopping, dinner, ect.) Take care of yourself and your sanity.

Also, talk to your 11 year old because she see's the difference too. Tell her what is going on and that you may need her to be a big girl and help out some.

I think it is a good idea to talk to your dr too. You may want to start getting support from your family and friends now. I went through post pardom depression 10 years ago and didn't realize what was wrong with me until years later. No one talked about it then. So take care of yourself and get the support that you need. It is serious.

You didn't say how your husband reacts to you when you get irritated. Do you think he already gets what is going on? I agree that when you are feeling good, tell him that you are feeling all emotional and try not to take it personally or try to do stuff to NOT aggravate you.

I was such a blubbering mess with my 2nd, that one day I was cooking potato soup...Ron walked in from work and was like 'mmm that smells good' then he tasted it and said 'did you add salt?' WELL! one of my 14 personalities showed up, I threw the ladle and just went completely insane and left crying screaming something similar to 'word salad' about how he didn't love me. I will never forget the look on his face. It was like I had sprung a second head and he just stood there in fear. Did I add salt? Who was he all of the sudden, EMERIL LIVE IN MY KITCHEN??????? This poor guy had a deviated septum, and I was so uncomfortable trying to get to sleep and just the sound of his breathing made me want to smother him with a pillow. I could go on and on and on and on.......singing in the morning, calling me baby, the way he moved his hands when he talked and said 'uh alot. It was endless. Boy I hated that man. Thank GOD it ends when you give birth.

Hi! Oh, I'm right there with you, and I'm only 10 weeks! I'm planning a short weekend trip away with my mom (we're close), and hoping that works. I honestly think the best part will be knowing he's at home doing my job for a couple of days, and hopefully gaining a greater appreciation for all I do. Is something like that an option for you?

you may be experiencing ealr PPD. I think you should inform your doctor of this and your other mood swings.Maybe she can precribe something that will help.

I went through both pregnancies thinking everyone but my husband was funny and witty. He could raise the hair on my neck with a comment that wouldn't have bothered me in the least before I got pregnant. I cannot remember if anything helped. I spent a lot of what little free time I had with friends that were moms and understood where I was at.
I feel for you! And good luck. If only they wouldn't talk so much....

hey R.,

That is just too funny. When I was pregnant with my son I couldn't stand anything about my husband (the way he chewed his food as well as the way he walked). Turns out who did my son come out looking just like (you got it my husband) I really wouldn't stress it too much, it is really hormonal. I couldn't stand my sister either we stopped speaking(until after the baby was born) and my son has so many of her habits now.
