Hormonal

Why do I feel more hormonal and emotional than I did in the first trimester? Had a bad night on Thursday, ended up crying late into the night. So, needless to say I took Friday off for stress and lack of sleep.

Came to the office this morning and someone had "jokingly" put "Slacker" on my white board at me desk. Made me want to cry all over again. People can be so insensitive. Pregnancy is different for everyone, and sarcastic jokes always carry some hurt in them.

People are incredibly insensitive...do your best to hide your hormonal issues from coworkers especially. I have to do the same thing or they'd eat me alive. It's amazing how people treat others and then expect not to be treated that way themselves.

I totally feel like my horomones haven't gotten worse lately.  I'm a school social worker and have to try to be so patient with my students.  I feel so short tempered with them.  I'm having a hard time being patient with my 2 yo too.  When I feel calm, I try to make it up to DD by being extra affectionate and energetic, even though I feel like I have to fake it half the time. 

I can only imagine what it's going to be like in 3rd tri at this rate.  Indifferent

I hear you. The number of times I've cried at work due to my coworkers making comments without thinking is kind of silly. But I can't help it, I'm just so hormonal and sensitive.

I understand why your feelings are hurt, and people can be assholes. However, I would try to keep it as professional as possible at work. I think sometimes pregnant women get a bad rap for using it as an "excuse," and people get bitter about it. I don't want people to view me as weak or using it as an excuse, so I really don't talk about it at work. When someone who knows I'm pregnant asks how I'm feeling, I always say, "Great!" even if I feel like shiit. NOT saying that you've been complaining at work because I obviously don't know.... but just try to keep it professional and keep it together at work, and do whatever you need to do when you get home. Perk up!

I totally feel you!  My hormones are way worse now than they were at the beginning of the pregnancy.  I had a massive meltdown (tears and all) about the painters tape not sticking properly in the baby room last night.....totally ridiculous

Yep! I totally butchered an avocado the other night while trying to cut it open... My SO jokingly said, "You just need to stay out of the kitchen." I've always been unnecessarily sensitive about feeling inept at cooking, but I seriously had to step away to cry for a few minutes. Then I moped around like a toddler for about 15 more minutes before finally sucking it up and acting like a grown up. It's ridiculous!
