Aww!! Its just hormones sweetheart. Lots of XoXo

Journalling can help, to get your feelings out. I try to tell myself 5 things I'm grateful for and a positive affirmation to myself. Ultimately don't be hard on yourself, if you need extra cuddles and love from your husband don't worry about it ❤️ I tend to feel worse when I've been at home for a long time or not spoken to anyone in person, so getting out for a walk can help too ❤️ speak to your midwife and don't suffer in silence xxx

@Katy thank you so much. Yes, I just feel so awful for being so clingy! I shouldn’t feel guilty and have never been made to feel guilty either!

I'm feeling very tearful because my toddler is starting to hit while expressing frustration. I know it's a normal phase and other parents are going through it, but it's making me really upset, I assume exacerbated by pregnancy hormones and finding it hard to cope with. So slightly different, but certainly related. x

@Claudia I am crying at everything. Your feelings are totally normal and understandable!!! It’s so hard with additional pressures during pregnancy x

I'm not feeling tearful, I'm feeling rage. I go from 1-10 in a flash. Proven this morning when we went to a car dealership to see a car we were told was in store and it wasn't. I went extreme demanding a manager and making a fuss. Honestly it's embarrassing on reflection. My other half said he has noticed a switch.... third trimester hormones are raging clearly! Now I'm more aware of it, I'm hoping to keep it in check.

@Jess I felt this during the first trimester!!! Just pure rage! It eventually calmed down but definitely a period of time I was not aware of! Horrible feeling afterwards when you realise too xx

I'm have been feeling exhausted so decided to rest today, and now I feel guilty for not getting anything sorted at home 🙈 trying to be rational, but some days are harder than others! Remember these feelings will pass ❤️ and tomorrow is a new day, xxx

@Jess I love your description ! I think being sleep-deprived makes us less resilient or tolerant in situations when things go wrong or don’t seem to turn out as initially hoped.

I feel the same, these past few days have been like a rollercoaster. I’m so tired as well which I think is making it much harder to deal with x
