Hi all-
Just wondering if anyone else out there is riding the emotional rollercoaster with me... One minute I feel like life just couldn't be better and the next I feel like things are falling apart! This is our 4th child and it has been several years but I don't remember feeling quite this way. I do recall getting stressed towards the end since I've ended up on bedrest for premature labor with each preg., but I don't remember feeling this way so early on (23 weeks). I'm blessed to have been relatively healthy so far, for the first time all of my other kids are older so I'm not caring for a young child and able to get plenty of rest, and recently became an official SAHM.
The problem is mainly with DH. We've been married for years and have both mellowed over the years. Usually things go along quite nicely. Lately there's been more friction and "drama" than there's been in years. I'm honestly not sure if he's suddenly become less kind and considerate or if I'm just being overly sensitive. I do know how much little actions and remarks of his can just devestate me lately. If I let him know (gently and calmly) how I'm feeling he brushes it off as preganacy moodiness and things I'm being ridiculous. If I don't talk about it I find that it builds up over a few days and leads to a bigger meltdown on my part... Now I don't know what to do. Usually we are so close and can talk about absolutely everything... I think that's why this is so hard for me.
I've been praying about this lots and would appreciate some prayer support and any advice you have to offer. Does anyoe else feel this way?

Yes Beth, the emotional roller coaster is normal for pregnancy. One thought about your dh...maybe he is feeling the pressure of being provider. With another baby coming maybe he is just stressed. He could also be worried about you and what is to come if you have been on bed rest with all the others. He may be worried about how he'll take care of all of you if you are tied down.Just a thought any way...we all know that men have a harder time expressing their fears and feelings. :wink: I will be praying for you and your dh. I will pray that he can communicate better. Hope you can relax and enjoy this special time. [hug]

Oh yeah pregancy can bring on a lot of emotions. I think the best thing you could do is talk to your dh and maybe ask him how he's feeling about everything and then share what you have been feeling. Will be praying for you. :D

When I was preggo I had the same experience. Overcome with tender feelings for DH one moment, wondering why on earth I ever married him the next. Sounds like you're normal, however disconcerting it may be. :)

Thanks for making me feel a bit better ladies! Today is a good day, yesterday was a frustrating one. I've been using James 1:19 a lot lately. Between that and prayer support I hope to be okay.
A friend of mine just found out this weekend that her husband of a decade has been carrying on with her best friend. It kind of put my own aggravation into perspective.
Hopefully this sensitivity is just another pregancy phase...
