My wife is pregnant with our first child, any advice on mood swings?

My wife is pregnant with our first child and she's been having major crazy mood swings. I'm a pretty sensitive guy and hates being disrespected, but damn she just be going off on me for no reason sometimes. When I ask her what's up, she says its nothing..I swear I am going crazy and don't know what to do. Please help or I will go crazy!!!!My wife is pregnant with our first child, any advice on mood swings?
Please just be understanding about it. I know guys have a little trouble understanding how hormones work, but sometimes with hormones, we have little control of it and it can drive a woman insane. I'm sure she knows she's more emotional now than before, but she just needs to release the pressure, and that may come out towards you. Just understand and stick with her and be by her side. But also know when to give her space and not crowd her. Youre on the right track, I can tell you want to do right, so just help her to relieve the stress, and remember it's not you whose making her crazy even though it may feel like it at times. 1st trimester is the worst and it gets better with time. Just hang in there :)My wife is pregnant with our first child, any advice on mood swings?
It is something that comes with pregnancy. Just remember that she is not meaning to go off on you or anything like that. Just be there and tell her that you love her and try just helping out around the house without her having to ask. Try doing the laundry for her, the dishes, making a romantic dinner, stuff like that. My husband has gotten so used to my mood swings that he will just stand there while i rant and rave and when im done he just looks at me, smiles, and with a slight laugh in his voice asks me if i feel better now in his cute lil tone he has and i just start start laughing and crying at the same time but feel better too. Just dont get mad and start going off back at her.
Honestly this is why men dont carry the babies. I was like that too you just need to be patient and supportive of her let her have her mood swings and just deal with it do what ever you can to make her happy things are going to get alot crazier once baby is born you know. you dont know how it feels to go crazy feel fat and ugly so just be patient.
just try to be understanding and tell her how you feel.


she should also try to understand that she is being harsh and should try not to be,


but you truly have to realize its not her and she can't always control it.


it just comes out, trust me i've been there.


if she gets really bad at times give her some space


and go for a walk.





a word of advice,


don't tell her shes hormonal, that makes it worse!





good luck.
LOL. Sorry to laugh...I'm sorry...I think I drove my fiance nuts in the beginning too when I first found out we were pregnant. Just try to be there for her and understand what she is going through. It's a scary/great/wonderful experience. It'll pass with time =) Good luck!

your just going to have to remember that when she goes off on you like that.. its just her hormones.. it doesn't last forever..
haha its really normal for her to have mood swings. her hormones will go a bit crazy. all you can do is be ther for her. goodluck.
I actually got your wife pregnant, at least you won't be surprised when the baby is black. Sorry.
Try to imagine how she feels right now.





She probably feels bloated (uncomfortable and more importantly to a woman, FAT) off-center, depressed, unable to cope, her hands and feet are probably swollen and itchy, many of her clothes don't fit anymore even if she isn't ';showing'; yet, her hair isn't doing what she wants it to, her skin is breaking out, she feels uncomfortably hot in certain places on her body, she may be torn between buying maternity clothes that make her look nice or oversize clothes that are cheaper but make her look ugly, she may be experiencing sharp ligament pain around her hips and abdomen and awful tailbone pain everytime she sits, she is starting to waddle when she walks and feels very unsexy... the worst part perhaps is knowing that her body will never be the same after the birth, her breasts will be smaller and hang lower, hips will be wider, and she will probably have some stretch marks that never go away. Her whole life and image of self and everything about her body is turning upside down, and this would make any woman want to cry at times.





The list goes on and on. I am 9 months pregnant with my first and it has been very rough at times for my husband as well. Your wife is going through something that you should be thankful you'll never have to experience. It's wonderful but it's extremely hard. There are times when she needs to let loose on someone and feels comfortable enough with you for you to take the brunt of it. She probably is secretly very grateful that you're there for her. Try to be patient, don't raise your voice and don't seem to get upset even when she is being completely unreasonable - it won't last long. Reacting badly is only going to start a fight and trust me, she doesn't want to fight at all, she just needs to unleash for a few minutes and feel like her frustrations are being heard. This is the one time in her life when she is allowed to be unreasonable and demanding.
