Pregnant and hate everyone and everything!

8 weeks pregnant, and I feel like I'm a completely different person. I hate everyone. Like i have zero compassion for anything, I'm just saying it like it is (more so than normal). I'm not affectionate with my partner at all, and even tho i love my daughter I'm finding it hard to so the baby pretend play happy shit that us moms do (i feel like i have a short fuse). I just literally want to be alone. I love my baby and my partner but I just dont feel like I have the energy to be around them. This was a planned pregnancy and I love my children and my life. I genuinely feel broken. It's not me at all and I wasn't like this with my first pregnancy. I do have a hormone condition and I cant take my tablets because of the pregnancy but I haven't been on them for over a year because of my first born so I'm thinking how can I blame that. What am I doing wrong, how do I get back to me?

So your body is doing amazing things. You’re growing an extra liver, a nervous system. Like hard stuff. And it’s not like we can take much to help ourselves. Ask for help. Ask your doctor and if they don’t listen ask for a therapist. It’s important you feel heard. Ask a family member to play and watch your daughter once a week. This is probably hormonal. Other than that just try your best to take care of yourself. Eat, sleep, shower, take a walk. Try some guided breathing meditation and focus on calm. Sorry this a lot. Please ask for help if there’s anything you do it’s that.

I agree with Megan, I’m 6 weeks and I have a 7 year old and have been feeling like this, I’ve been talking to other mams/doctor and they’re told me to relax, sleep, eat plenty etc I’m very hormonal, my partner being very understanding and knows I just need to relax Look after yourself it will get better xx

That first trimester is extremely difficult. Your body is working overtime and you have a little one that still needs attention. I don’t feel it all the time but there are some days where I too have a short fuse and I feel terrible for it. I think it gotten better after the first trimester though. Try to allow yourself more grace and care for yourself as much as possible.

Yea i think with a 10month old and being 8 weeks there just not much me time atm
