It's common to have mood swings during pregnancy, because of hormonal changes that affect your levels of neurotransmitters (chemical messengers in the brain) and the broad range of feelings you may have about becoming a parent. Everyone responds differently to these changes. Some moms-to-be experience heightened emotions, both good and bad; others feel more depressed or anxious. Most find that moodiness flares up at around 6 to 10 weeks, eases up in the second trimester, and then reappears as their pregnancy winds to a close.
Pregnancy can be a stressful and overwhelming time.
So here are the things that irritates me.
It was my 15th weeks pregnancy and as I read some article, it is now possible to discover my baby;s gender. I post the article I read (screenshot) to my Instagram and someone (follower) said that it is good to have ultrasound as early as that as she experienced from her 2 pregnancy in two different countries that blah blah blah then ended up saying it would be better if I also live with my husband (in Brunei) since the company can cover all the expenses for my pregnancy. I was really annoyed that time because it was not the first time na iniinggit nya ako (that's the what I think of her). On my old Instagram post (my craft projects), she told me it was beautiful and that I should live with my husband across the country because "we never know what would happen in the future blah blah blah". I told her before that we have our own house, our own car here in the Philippines and no one will look after our property unless we sell them. The second reason is, y husband is working offshore. If he goes to work (6 weeks) it's like living in a far country away from my relatives that I can call during emergency. It is difficult to live in Brunei without driving knowledge. You cannot go to grocery yourself if you don't know how to drive a car because I've never seen any public transpo in that country as everyone living there maybe own a car. Yes, I can drive but I m pregnant. I need to adjust because left hand drive and traffic is applied to Brunei. It would be very useless if me and my daughter will live there while the husband is working 6 weeks and very far away from us (offshore field engineer).
Another irritating thing. I'm on my bed rest yet someone inside our house told me it's nakakahinayang to not accept new invitation projects. So I told her, why? Are you the one talking to the clients? Kayo po ba ang nagdedesign??
What's more irritating is that it seems like they never understand my situation. They will tell you "Dapat kasi nakahiga ka lang eh" but they ignore my daughter when she needs something or kapag nangungulit sya. No one will run over except me, her own mother.
Another nakakairita are those extended family members na wala ng ginawa kundi gumawa ng poblema at mangdamay sa mga problema nila. They run to us whenever they need something (financial/ advice). And me as the youngest member of the family, am I old enough to give some piece of advice when it is actually obvious that they know what's wrong and what's right?!
