    Relationship while Pregnant

And within a couple weeks after I found out I was pregnant I started getting very annoyed my hima dn anything he did, and we now fight constantly, over anything and everything. I hate it I just want to go back to the way things were but I don't know how. Please help me get my relationship back.

    Girlfriend your hormones are raging right now so it is understandable what you are going through. I recommend communicating with him and I think you should read some pregnancy books like "What to expect when your expecting." They also have books out there for the daddy which can be really helpful and funny too. Just try to remember why you fell in love with him in the first place and remember just because your pregnant doesn't mean you can't have fun. Believe me, you are going to need him when that baby is born. :)

    First it is very important to understand that you are going through a lot of changes, physically as well as emotionally. Your hormones send you on a roller coaster every few moments it seems like.the tiniest thing can upset the delicate teeter totter of your emotions. Things that normally didn't bother you, now do. I use to cringe every time my hubby cleared his throat or coughed or made any noise in the middle of the night, when pregnant with my first. My sister told me of her friend not being able to stand the smell of her husband for most of the pregnancy. Your boyfriend is going to go through a lot too, mainly emotionally, being afraid he won't be able to provide, and be a good dad, and do everything he needs to do, not being able to feel the deep emotional connection you do with the baby growing inside you, because he doesn't get to handle it to the extent that you do, and if he's really ready for the responsibility.. . it crosses every parents mind at some point. But its also a huge life change that you two are making, and it can be a very scary, life altering thing. But they are so worth it in the end. The most important thing you can do right now is to sit down and talk things through. Let him know that you still love him and you don't mean to react to things the way you do, but he needs to understand that it's a lot to do with the hormones. Get his feelings on the pregnancy, and share yours. Take time to spend together, with just the two of you. Keep the lines of communication open, and keep in mind that your moodiness won't last forever. And once that baby is in your lives, it will have all been worth it. Just work on it the best you can, and remember you love each other.in the end that's all anyone can do. Good luck to you sweety.
