Heatwave and irritability
*sorry for the rant*
Is it normal to feel angry and irritated towards the end of your pregnancy? I was out having some lunch with my boyfriend and he invited his friend, the heat got to me and I became very irritated. I just wanted to go home. Also feeling self critical because I’m so big and my ankles are swollen I didn’t feel like socialising with his friend, especially when it’s 28 degrees and I’m uncomfortable.
It’s probably my hormones I know but I feel like I’ve been horrible and nasty towards my boyfriend and idk what to do about being so irritable. I’m more wound up now for lashing out and I should’ve just sucked it up and got on with it.
I just wondered if anyone else felt so irritated with being pregnant in this heat or I just need to grow a pair because it’s not normal for me to be such an unsociable d*ckhead.

Totally not an unsociable dick head!
It's hot, your uncomfy, tired. I'm totally with you. I'm grumpy as well.
I have been telling my husband when I feel like that so he can better support me, be more understanding.
He should of ran it by you first before inviting a friend x
I think just the heat alone could make anyone be irritable & angry, let alone dealing with pregnancy as well! I've felt nothing but uncomfortable today. Please don't be hard on yourself, just take things easy this evening & keep yourself cool.
Ohhhh this is me! My feet and ankles are HUGE & I usually love the heat but along with the swelling I'm so uncomfortable, I cancelled going out for dinner tonight, have so many angry hormones today I just want to rest with my feet up 💆🏻♀️
Thank you ladies, I feel a bit more at ease now I know it’s normal to feel like this😅 I just need a tub of icecream with my feet up now😂 xx
Totally normal this weather is horrid I don't no what to do with myself and already dreading bed bad enough when it's cool. I have hardly been sociable the whole of my pregnancy I just don't feel good in myself or comfortable so have avoided it. Don't be hard on yourself your boyfriend will understand just say sorry if i was abit grumpy today ur just struggling. Get infront of the fan and chill 😊x
Yessss I've just ordered ice cream 😅our bodies are going through so much emotionally and physically, I definitely can't do the normal things I would on a weekend and be nice all the time lol lots of rest and a good sleep tonight!
I have had the WORST day arguing with my partner continuously. I’m 36 weeks and it’s been awful today honestly 😅
We’ve made up now but at one point I was considering leaving that’s how irrational the heat and hormones are making me 😂
Totally totally normal! This is my second pregnancy and I remember feeling exactly the same first time round - every little thing was irritating me and I was super grumpy so much of the time.
It’s been much the same this time round and it’s made even worse by this crazy heat!
Don’t beat yourself up, we’re on the final stretch and we’ve endured so much - reeeeally hoping this heatwave is over soon! 🤞🏼🤞🏼
I'd be moody and irritable not pregnant in this heat tbf!! It's nearly over soooon x
Ughhhh same here. Fuck this heat. I’m actually excited for the rain to cool the temp down next week 🫠
I apologised to my partner today for being so touchy because of the heat too don’t worry girl, your allowed to be mad 🤣🩵
Yes I have been a very snappy and irritable woman. 😬
