Agree!

LOL @ what MR CC must have gone through, I remember one morning I knew I had  cold,so I had a running nose and was letting them out both by mouth and nose blowing That morning if you see the eye Baba kadry gave me ehnnn he was like " . . . . . .Are you sure it's just normal cold?" I told him yes and he said . . . . . "OK thats better.   

I once had this woman come to me , she was like throwing up alot in her first trimester, the innocent woman had no idea what was going on since it was her first pregnancy, I tested her urine and this woman was like seriously dehydrated ,her sugar level was so high and obviously she had gestational diabetes, so I told her to go get herself water bottle and carry it with her all the time, the next time I saw this woman CC, I told her to get a water bottle but I never knew this woman was going to buy a big transformer size water bottle, I even asked her how she was able to carry it. ,anyways after some weeks , the throwing up seized but came back on her 8 month, but it wasn't as serious as the early stage.

What women go through

@ op I always wondered about this.
I remember a neighbour whose house was a no-go area during pregnancy.I could never understand how that sweet lady could be so agressive!Meanwhile other woman go through pregnancy easy,same thing with child birth. I understand better now and i think women are very Strong.

Women are strong, no doubt.

Not all are aggresive.
. . .  my Mama Ejima used to ''get on my nerves'' lol, you hear her voice all the time in the house, she does the driving whenever we take a ride, it's instant caution at whoever hits the gate harder than normal and so on.

These ended one hot afternoon, when I decided to shake her and deposit something inside something.
She became as quiet as a mouse from that moment for the next 9-10 months; I almost regret my action 'cos I missed her talking at the top of her voice in house, I missed the way she jumps all around me, she didn't care to read my text messages nor bother to scroll through my 'received calls' and so on.
My dear Mama Ejima wasn't aggressive at all, not all pregnant women are.

yes and no.some women get mad bcuz of the pregnancy some are sssssssssooooooooooooo so cool.so its depend on the individual.not all trouble some

e no easy to carry ur fellow human being,

expert proof required

Yes it could be aggression, when one don't have enough informal support but it all depends on how matured one is to accept her fate as she sees it. Woman are strong when it come to pregnancy

why wouldn't there be agression/worst kind when no light, no water, no moto, no food, no anything in obodo nigeria.
see what our mothers went thru

maybe the agression wouldn't show and men such as the OP wouldn't notice if you have a supporting man? CC what do you think?

Ah!! someone mentioned ice crunching ; didnt know that was a common craving.
I kind of find the erratic behaviour and weird cravings kind of cute.
The struggle to do the slightest things and the rolling of eyes at you ; adorable! !

Yeah! Pregnant woman can be aggressive sometimes. I can remember vividly during my time. I sometimes take it out on my husband especially in the evening when am back from office. I react to smell and toothpaste. I had about 7 different of toothpaste in my bathroom. I rarely experience morning sickness or vomiting or spitting. Once i eat very early in the morning, then, am good to go for the day.

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.

A lot of people crave ice. I could not stand the smell of tomatoes cooking. I can't even describe the way it made me feel. I honestly could almost cry from smelling it. Smells definitely got to me but the tomatoes was the worst of the worst. Pregnanacy is not easy o. Yet we do it again and again LOL

is natural

Hmmm, painfully taking notes. . .

The poor man had to wait outside ASDA that morning for it to open before rushing in to buy the eggs, come back home, cook them before going to work.

oh, what a hubby.

Pregnancy aint easy oh! I am still preggy and am not finding d extra load funny cuz i have lots ant lots to do daily. Though its fun when u feel ur baby move but sincerely speaking there are some discomfort i wish i could do without. Sometimes am a saint wont cause any trouble but really sometimes i could be volatile. My hubby really tried in the early months cuz i virtually lived with a bucket by my side cuz i throw up like crazy. Yes we could be real cranky cuz come to think of it the dos and donts of preggy aint easy. And Docs wont even make it easy on you. As for me chewing of ice is one thing i dont think i can stop cuz someone will have to kill me first.

am really learning , pls keep it coming , i need it.

I used to have yam and egg in the morning every day for nearly the whole pregnancy and one morning my hubby came to tell me that it will have to be yam and stew cos there were no more eggs.

Come and see crying. I couldn't control myself. I was bawling like someone had died. . . . because of eggs LOL

what has this got to do with 'Pregnancy and Agression'?

I give kudos to women for this particulare feat

TELEMEDICINE HERE IN NIGERIA: PAY TOKEN FEES FOR ANSWERS TO YOUR HEALTH AND MEDICAL QUESTIONS TODAY.
What would you do if you had the opportunity to ask a close doctor friend a very personal question like?
• ’What can I do for my quick ejaculation because it’s getting me embarrassed as if I were still a small boy’
• ‘My vagina oozes odour during sex, is there a solution?’
• ‘I noticed something new around my genitals(penis/Vagina) and I am curious’
Especially when you have tried the usual ampiclox, home remedies, herbal and natural products without much success, or
You could JUST want to settle an argument on a sex topic and need a professional perspective to it.
I imagine that very few persons can muster the morale to journey all the way to the hospital to ask such rather “equally embarrassing questions”.
We often rely on peers, trusted elders, and sometimes the internet, but the truth remains that the blind leading the blind does not improve insight.
Even as health professionals, not everyone is a sexologist and we could tend to be more aloof in issues of sex or even dabble dangerously in order to save our face.
So why not pay for professional consultation today and get all the answers you truly deserve.
The professionals are Nigerian consultant sexologists practicing right here in Naija so you can bet they will be very much relevant.
But, it is not only sex matters that are private. You can consult on any health matter as there are other specialists in other fields of medical practice that will answer your queries correctly.
For instance,’Does pregnancy change mood’
