Today, I found out that my wife is pregnant again. During her last two pregnancies, she craved pop-tarts and screamed bloody murder at the drop of a hat, so I went out and bought a box for her. Turns out that this time, pop-tarts make her want to puke. Cue screaming. FML

Hey, there's crazy hormones going on. I know, trust me. I'm pretty nutty while I'm pregnant. Just remember it is a huge body change and it's hard to handle...

I'm 3 months pregnant and I haven't yelled at my man through cravings or sickness once. I haven't yelled at him at all. Good on you mate for making the effort to make her happy. Pity she can't see you've tried and appreciate it.

honey, it gets worse... trust me you have atleast 6 months to go. when the real hormones kick in, no matter how appreciative you are, the smallest thing will make you want to kill people. Trust Me. I was nice at first too... now, not so much... but I love my guy to pieces!

It's natures way of telling us monogamy is not for us, by attempting to force the male to leave...1 point for promiscuity!

You are aware the worst of the "hormonal" bitchiness is during the first trimester until the placenta takes over baby's hormonal development, right? I admit, I have been snappy and it doesn't take much to set me off with certain things (especially cleaning), but bub is getting most needs from the placenta now -- being a mum2be is no reason to be a bitch. In my opinion.

Tell her that being pregnant is not a license to be a bitch. You were trying to be nice and she should stop being a child and appreciate it. Tell her that in those words. If she still screams then don't do anything else for her until she apologizes. If you don't tell her this in strong words ( not wimp speak) then YDI. She's a maternal bully. Stand up or shut up.

I guess hormones don't exist in Calyx's world, so I wonder then what HIS excuse for being an ignorant little bitch is.

Hey, good plan. Upset and stress out the woman carrying your child so she feels worse than she apparently already does.

You will never get a woman.. I hope you never have kids..

I have a wonderful wife who apologizes to me if she says something rude and who never fails to appreciate my affections regardless of her mood. That's why we are such a great couple. Mutual respect. OPs wife has none. Blaming disrespect on hormones is childish. Accepting it from an adult who should know how to be responsible for their own actions is weak.

Our emotions are determined biologically, some people are affected more easily than others. It's got nothing to do with how we WANT to behave. Ever heard of anger management issues, clinical depression? You never fail to say something totally retarded and ignorant, mate. With the sexist shit I've seen you post before, I pity your wife if you really have one.

What he says isn't ENTIRELY insane. Simply blocking her out would actually be a good method of stress relief and giving you the tools to handle an unruly individual. Eventually she will calm down, at which point a rational person would apologise, and then everything goes back to normal. If she doesn't apologise for her behaviour when she returns to a calm state then that does seem somewhat unacceptable. The best thing for them would be to have discussed what each will do when this situation arises next time, so that there are no surprises - communication, ya know?. Whatever works for the individuals though would be best, telling him what he should be doing at the time of the issue if it doesn't work for them is pointless.

So having some extra hormones popping around is an all-access pass to do as you please, then is it? As the mother of 3 children I'd just like to point out that I have never acted out like that. Calyx's comment sounds perfectly reasonable to me. Why should this woman be allowed to get away with yelling at her husband for trying to do the right thing? Hormones may make you more likely to want to cry or lose your temper, but basic self-control is still possible and behaving like a decent person isn't that hard. If your hormones are so out of whack you actually become an out-of-control psycho, then maybe you should see your doctor. Pregnancy is supposed to be natural and normal. Verbally savaging someone for buying something you don't want to eat is not.

Pregnancy makes women insane, plain and simple. I went through it with my wife twice, and the instant the baby comes out, sanity returns. You can't rationalise with a woman who absolutely ******* NEEDS Doritos (COOL RANCH, NOT NACHO, GODDAMMIT!!!) at 1 AM. Oh, and congratulations on your bundle of joy.

Still trying to understand the crazy ass hours cravings? Isn't that normally when someone is sleeping. Or at least trying to?

Whenever a pregnant woman is up all night with severe heartburn or not-so-morning-sickness or the baby kicking her freakin' ribs out, she will get cravings. Crazy cravings! And yes, they come at the weirdest times.

I heard if the women doesnt get what shes craving, the baby will get a birth mark the shape of what she wanted. Then again i have 1 that looks like south america on the back of my head.... Idk

Hey, at least the hormonal imbalances didn't cause her to walk out on you without warning or explanation, right?

Third time you say? First two couldn't have been that bad, I mean, obviously you still have your balls. Good luck holding onto them this time.
