I am 37 weeks preganant... I am having a repeat c-section in 13 days and I cannot get a hold of myself emotionally. I have a 3 year old little girl... I am constantly yelling at her and even at times spanking her for things that I would normally just calmly deal with... then I cry b/c I have no idea why i just lost it... actually I cry all the time over everything. I yell at and nag my husband constantly....I am not like myself at all... Each night when I go to sleep I tell myself that tomorrow i will not be this way that I must pull it together for my daughter... but I wind up being the same way. Anyone else going through something similar... is it hormones?? I have an OB appt. today.... I am embarrassed to tell her about it. I feel like I should be happy... we're going to have a new baby for Christ'ssakes!

chris this is normal it is part hormones and part the fact that you are having surgery...theres alot of feelings emotions and things going on and you are probably just TIRED....take it easy and slow down before you yell at your daughter ask yourself how important is what she is doing if its not important let it go.....you will be fine!

I was the same way before my 2nd c-section. I think I was stressed out about how my husband and my 3 year old would manage while I was in the hospital, and I felt like time was running out to get ready. My temper was much shorter than usual with my daughter, but some of that might just be that three can be a really annoying age. It's not easy dealing with a 3 year old and a newborn at the same time, but personally I'm too tired right now to be as grouchy as I was when I was pregnant. It helps too that I don't feel too hot all the time anymore.
