Moody and forgetful

Hey everyone! So this is my first pregnancy I’m currently 8 weeks as of yesterday and I was wondering, has anyone felt more forgetful than usual during this trimester or extremely moody? Any suggestions how I could better manage this? Any tips would be greatly appreciated 😊

Well being forgetful is completely normal your brain literally shrinks during pregnancy and the mood changes are due to your body getting used to the new hormones and new levels of them what I would recommend is praying and asking God to remove any frustration or anything you might be feeling

I’ve been pregnant a few times before this but I’ve never ever been so moody! I literally can’t put up with anything. I’ve never been less afraid to stand up for myself. It’s weird!

That's just the beginning of pregnancy brain!

That was one of the reasons why I took a test at 5wks, I started feeling really slow up in my noodle.
I feel like it’s best to just let it happen and laugh at any mistakes u make so u don’t get too frustrated
as for the moodiness, I’m still tryna get a handle on it, it’s been really bad especially with my mental health being a bit on the bend recently and I feel bad for my partner bc of it…been snapping more lately

Omg the pregnancy brain has been so bad. I’ve just done dumb things. Like I tried to put my son down for a nap and left the light on. This morning I was trying to dress my son and got it all messed up. I was trying to put sweats on before changing his onesie. And then at one point I tried putting his socks on before I put a new diaper on. Just dumb things 😂 Losing everything constantly. Lol

Anyone else due 1st May?

I’m wondering whether I’ll have an April or May baby, thought she’d be late originally because she’s my first but I’ve had this weird feeling recently she’ll be early… if you’re in the same position what do you think?

Anxiety with the bump.

I’m 36 weeks pregnant and I’ve suddenly developed a massive anxiety around anyone standing behind me. My husband is annoying me so much because even though I’ve told him how it makes me feel, he’s continued doing stuff in our kitchen (that is tiny anyway) and sliding past me to grab things. I know the baby is safe even if I were to bump the bump a little but even the thought of it is still making extremely anxious. How do I cope with this feeling and is anyone else going through the same sort of thing?

Breathless and feeling like I need to be sitting constantly!

Has anyone else been feeling this way as they're getting closer to their due date?

I attempted to change our bedding this evening and had to call my husband for back up as I literally felt like my lungs were going to explode just trying to reach over to put the sheet on.

I'm huffing and puffing just getting my toddler into his pjs, and I was sat down! Like what is going on 😮‍💨🥲

Everything has been check ie bloods etc so I think it's just general pregnancy as I'm now 38 weeks. My bump feels like it weighs about 100lbs 😭
