Pregnancy rage

Currently going through the same with my boyfriend and at the end of the day I always feel so bad for how I reacted. Looking for ways as well to help me with this problem -22weeks-

If you feel that he hasn’t been understanding of your emotions even before pregnancy then he won’t be understanding after pregnancy and it’s probably better for you and baby emotionally if he does leave. As a single mother of 3 I know it’s hard and it’s not something that you want to happen because we always hope that the one we have children by will be the one we marry and grow old with but sometimes it’s better to let them leave. If you are trying to control the emotions and he still doesn’t understand then it just shows that you are putting in all the effort. This is a time when you need support and love and someone to help you control those emotions when they get bad.

One thing I learned is to step back and process the rage that I’m feeling. If it’s something that truly bothers me I should express it or if it’s hormones to just chill. I went through this in the beginning and it’s been so much better now and I’m also in therapy. Our partners are a bit ignorant on how to be understanding with us (mine is a bit more understanding now) we have to just try. If he doesn’t understand that’s his fault. He has to know we are growing life inside us and our whole life is changing. We are mourning our old bodies to cherish the new one we are bringing life to. I hope things work out 🫶🏼🙏🏼

I’m also having a rough time with my boyfriend right now, there is definitely a lack of understanding during this pregnancy, and he thinks “ pregnancy hormones” is just an excuse. I’ve never felt the emotions I’ve been feeling over these past few weeks wether that is sad, happy, anger, my emotions are all over the place. I can completely relate to you. I don’t think they will ever understand, they don’t have to feel what we feel x

Keep in mind it isn't always you, he may not be handling his feelings well either and that's not your fault. Take a step back and do something for yourself that allows you to focus on your mental health

Personally, I feel like HE needs to be more understanding that your body is literally changing and you’re growing a whole little human person . My boyfriend and I had a really rough time during our first trimester I mean we broke up about 3 times BUT we had a really long talk and i told apologized to him bc a lot of it was the pregnancy hormones and we’re now working through all our issues by communicating and when I feel overly raged I just tell him I need some time alone and say “ it’s the pregnancy hormones” but all in all men need to be more understanding. it’s not all on you.

Okay so I’m going to be the odd one out!!

Just because you are pregnant doesn’t give you a right to treat him like crap, even if your hormones are everywhere, take a step back and Breathe.

I used to have it and I learned maybe have a shower when you feel that way or go for a walk and try to come back calm.

My man blew up on day after my pregnancy rage and I told him I was going to take his daughter away and he’d never be able to see her. I did it because I was so emotionally exhausted. He’s been there and he’s been the best walking 2 hours to get me something (we didn’t have a car) he would ride on the buses and get up extremely early after coming home working 16-18 hours and go to my appt with me at 9am and turn around and leave.

I understand we are growing babies but we have to remember that we can’t lash out like that, my mama been there for me done so much for me & has sacrificed so much and he put his foot down after I screamed in his face and told him how much of a b word

He is I would try to find health activities and then try talking when your calm, if you can’t calmly talk to him he should leave because you both are going to make it worse.

Worse in his mental health & worse on your pregnancy.

I know what your feeling sometimes I get sooo annoyed I can’t help but snap and even in the moment I know I’m being harsh but in that moment there is no room for sugar coating when your going through what we are going through. That said it might be just as equally beneficial for him to go through therapy also so he can learn how to deal with this tough process as well. Me and my partner have had many discussions about sometimes a pregnant woman just needs a break because hormones are a very powerful thing and we are going through a lot. He has to remember this is a long hard road but will be totally worth it in the end. Plus learning good patience with a pregnant person is good practice for when you have the baby

the problem is i am trying to recognize when i have an episode and walk away, he follows me.
