Second trimester irritability and anger?! Any advice?

Hi guys, I’m currently pregnant with my first, getting close to 18w pregnant. I have always been the type of person that does not get angry and especially does not express anger. I’m usually very good at hiding when I’m grumpy and irritated and never let it project onto or impact others. But the past week I am SO constantly irritable and grumpy :( I keep being accidentally snappy with my partner and Mom, I explain to them what’s going on but still feel awful. Has anyone found remedies for this? 🥲 I can’t do any heavy exercise due to subchorionic hemorrhage. So I’m not sure how to release and deal with this irritability and anger… I was thinking to get back into daily yoga, journaling, reading maybe! Hoping this is a common second trimester symptom I don’t know about…? 🥲 Help - I feel so guilty and so bad. I don’t know what to do. Everything annoys me except the sweet little baby in my tummy 😭

I was apparently like that. I was the calm one out of all my siblings and everyone knew it. During pregnancy my sister called me a mean pregnant lady. I just didn’t care 😂 it’s the darn hormones, do the yoga! And other things that relax you

Don’t feel guilty, hormones changes is unfortunately incomprehensible. Journaling is actually a good idea. And if you feel you going to start to be irritable maybe it’s good if you isolate yourself from get some space and focus on you. Like for exemple, taking a bath, pampering yourself, listening meditation do a walk in a park, doing a meet up with other mums 😉

Thank you both so much!! It’s validating to hear I’m not alone! 🥹 I definitely need to start doing more stuff that brings me joy because all I do lately is work!

I was extra spicy most of my pregnancy. Honestly, the best I could do was be aware of it so I could temper it when and where I could. And not beat myself up about it because I was growing a life inside of me and that’s bound to press some nerves. 😂

It’s normal n hormonal, if you feel like writing journal that can help you. Try hypnobirthing.. it will help you meditate and also learn about empowering birth. Hv a look into it, it helped me, in my both births
