chaircover: Pregnancy hormones do play a part in affecting our mood but it mostly makes us overreact or become more emotional than usual but something usually triggers it.

Why did your sister suddenly change from happy to crying, sulking and pouting so much so in front of the kids? what happened?

chaircover:

I thought as much, (that something did trigger it) . . . . .you gave me a scare when in your first post, it just sort of implied that she just suddenly turned on the kids for no reason.

I hope you explained to the kids that aunty is not angry with them, but not just feeling too well at the minute.

I couldn't stand smells either when I was pregnant so i know how she feels and my hubby went a good 6 months without being allowed to wear any deodorant & I nearly committed murder one day when he added locust beans to okro he was cooking . . . . for me oooo!

It is well. I wish her a safe delivery
Thanks dear sis-in- cant- stand- smell . They love her and forgave her immediately. The older kids remember my own preggie days for their younger siblings anyway. Mine are well spaced so they have good(or is it bad?) memories of when I carried the younger ones. I had to use unperfumed vaseline throughout one preggie and banned all deodorant in our house for another one.

Tgirl4real: Well, I really didn't witness all these raging hormones and cravings people talk about. Not like I didn't have several opportunities to snap or ask for the impossible, but I made up my mind to put in an extra effort to be calm and nice around people since people naturally expected me to be snappy cos of my condition and it worked like magic.

Till few hours before entering into proper labour, I was still cracking jokes and playing around with the nurses.

The time I was really touchy was few weeks after delivery cos I was in serious pain due to episiotomy.

Vikin: Our apartment is new, How I hate the smell. He bought some neutralizers but it seems not to be working in the bathroom.

The bathroom has this smell that wanna kill me anytime I enter for shower. I spit So much when am in there, that if I come out, he is the next target.

Baby, the house is smelling....he opens the doors or window!

Baby, it's too cold.

He lights the neutralizer, you see me complaining. The guy do tire!

So these days, after having my bath, he tells me to stay in the bedroom...because that's the only place that reduces the raging hormones. As if I dey for prison.
