Hormones?

I'm so tired of hating my husband. My last pregnancy (which didn't make it this far) I had none of this, but this time around I could just strangle him. His eating habits, the way he talks to people, even the way he smells is putting me off. Idk if it's just hormones or if it's just little things that have gotten worse since I've gotten pregnant... anytime I wanna talk about it he says he'll just talk to me when I "feel better". I'm just out of ideas on what to do and what this is.

1. I can't stand the way my husband smells after a long days work. It makes me nauseas.  I told him right away and apologized if I offended him and explained its the pregnancy not him. and now he knows he has to take a shower and stay fresh

2. I get so moody sometimes and I know its not him its me. So I literally take a time out. Or give him wwarning that Im not feeling myself and I tell him straight up not to entertain my mood swings and remind him frequently that my crazy ways will be over soon.  

3. There are little things that he does that drive me nuts (only during pregnancy) so I just ask him nicely not to do them near me or I get up and leave the room.

Pregnancy is hard on us and our men too. And guys (sometimes) can be really stupid and oblivious.  I would wait until you are completely calm and talk to him out of love.  
Good luck : )

Im sorry ladys but if you know its your hormones why are yall going to pick a fight with yall s/o and make them feel bad. Some of the things y'all get mad about are ridiculous. When i know my hormones are acting up and its stupid to fight i go off by myself and compose myself. These men gave us a gift and deserve better then raging hormones

Lol. You ladies are killing me. He has to know how you feel. He needs to understand that it's just your hormones and a Lil extra support can go a long way.

Just remember to Apologize if you know you're out of line even if you still feel annoyed and mad, I seemed to fight more and get annoyed more with mine also but if I knew it wasn't him and it was me I'd apologize, sometimes it wouldn't seem sincere but at least I'd bring it up and later if really apologize lol it helped a lot

Knowing me I would have got tired of it & just flat out say what I think he should know. I feel it will only upset you more the more you hold it in. Eventually just looking at him will make you sick. I would tell him so he will know & maybe you both can work on it together. He will probably & most definitely get offended though, but hey you can't control how you feel. Better he know now than you completely blowing up on him or him later noticing you giving him dirty looks.

I'm just scared I'll blow up on him and we won't make it to the 3rd trimester... I feel like I'd be less worried if we could discuss it and get it out in the open

It'll change the further along you get. Then you will want so much love and attention from him it'll be sickening. I was that way with all 3 and now 4. Almost end my marriage for the first 7 months. Then the third trimester I'm all over him. Even in my sleep I seem to end up on his side of the bed nestled under him.

My husband seems to not understand my symptoms.  I get upset at him just about every night. Sometimes he actually hasn't done anything but I'll think of something stupid he said or did fromfew days ago and get all upset again.  It makesno sense but I can't explain y.
