I seem to do things backwards, even in pregnancy. I thought hormones were more prevalent in the first and second trimesters. Not so for me. For the longest time I was relaxed, chilled out, only occasionally slightly irritable. Even when people got on my nerves I was in control of my inner rage beast, so it was no big deal. I actually think I've been more relaxed and laid back during pregnancy than before I was pregnant.
But lately, oh my word. Lately, I have just been upset for no reason. I have been fed up at - what - the world? Life? And why? I have what I want and things are fine. I can't even explain what it is that is bothering me, but I'm oh-so bothered.
And it's not even that I'm depressed. I'm furious! I'm so angry and indignant and I don't even know what I'm indignant about! I feel like punching everyone in the face (strangers, mostly, not usually people I know) or breaking car windows or joining the smash-the-bus-stop-glass gang.
So I guess I basically want to be Godzilla. Pregzilla.
Since I can't pinpoint any actual reason, real or imaginary, for this rage, I'll just assume it's hormones. I hope it goes away soon before I start to alienate myself from everyone who cares about me. Or before I grow scales and ransack an entire city.
I suspect that a large part of this anger is that I'm so very uncomfortable. I've never been this uncomfortable in my entire life, and as people so cheerfully like to inform me, it will get worse as the weeks go on. I don't know what to do with that information - I'm already so squished and I am fully aware that baby has to nearly double her weight still before she's done baking in there, and where on earth is that extra baby expected to fit?? Between nerves being pinched in my abdomen (what's left of it) and my spine being shoved aside, where is she going to grow? We'll both be so smooshed by the time D-day comes, I don't know who I feel more sorry for.
I'm trying so hard to enjoy my pregnancy, but this last week or so has been pretty trying. I'll hang in there obviously, but wow am I ready to meet this baby and no longer be pregnant!
