does my pregnant girlfriend hate me or is it hormones?

hi. me and my fiance used to be so loving we moved in together pretty quick we done everything together and loved each other more than anything, we decided to try for a baby and looked forward to marrage and being a family, she fell pregnant and is 3 months pregnant yesterday, the last 3 months have been so hard, it seems all her love has died she wants nothing to do with me anymore she packed my bags and threw me out 5 days ago, i havent seen her for 3 days i rang her phone its turned off i ring her mams, she answers but has told me not to ring no more i havent seen her for 3 days i told her today how much this is killing me and i havent eat or slept, she told me she has been fine :( ,its as if she just turned her feelings off over night and there is nothing i can do or say to change her mind she says she doesnt want no one else and we wont split up completely i can still see her now and then but i can never move back in with her, she says its not her hormones making her like this (but i think it is as she was never like this before) she says she does love me but she cant stand to be around me i cant talk to her or she will walk out i cant kiss, cuddle her nothing, when i tell her its upsetting me she laughs in my face, she says she doesnt know why she feels like this she just feels it,she wont go nowhere with me, not even to the shop, she dumped me on valentines day and didnt care about her presents or look at her card, i have tried everything i can to make her happy but it seems she is getting angrier every day, when will this stop i want my loving caring gf back, i love her soooooooo much i know it must be hormones she cant just fall out of love with me like that we were soooooo close, its killing me has anyone pls got any advice on why she feels so angry, she seems to have no interest in the pregnancy at all, and doesnt even want people to know im dying to tell people, i know its not her and it must be something to do with her hormones or something as we both wanted this soooo much, she was never ever angry i never seen her angry once before she got pregnant, will this anger and hate wear off will she ever come back to me, we went to our 3 month scan and i really thought it would put a smile on her face, her only reaction was to say to me "im suprised its still alive", it seems everything she says to me is aimed at breaking me, and im completely broken, if it is hormones when will they settle down a little? it as if she went from being loving, affectionate and caring, to having nothing for me. It's as if all of her love for me died, and it's killing me inside,  I love this woman more than anything, and can't wait to be the father of her child, but I don't know if I can handle the hurt I feel on the inside anymore. This is breaking my heart, and I am a complete disaster, can pregnancy really be this difficult? What can I do? I am completely lost.

Sounds to me like a number of things. Anxiety due to her losses and disabled child. Depression, lashing out at loved ones(u and the baby), hormones can cause her not wanting to be around you bc youre male, and no kissing/cuddling bc her sex drive crashed and doesnt even want to be touched(like me but diff relationship situation). Maybe this time she is also feeling less attractive. Overall I think she has a lot of sadness and anger inside of her that has nothing to do with you, she doesnt know how to deal with it. My advice would be to back away just a bit so she doesnt feel more overwhelmed, but weekly still show her you are there for her and care about her and the baby. Maybe go at expressing your live and care at another angle, maybe treat her to a manicure/pedicure or massage, but let her go alone so she can try to relax and think in a more calm enviroment. After doing this a month or so, maybe see if she would be willing to take a family portrait with you, kind of lets her know she is still beautiful and that you still want to be a fam without using a bunch of words. If her mind is racing things u say, no matter how loving, will set her over the edge, too much to handle, and she will continue to shut down. I hope this helps, im sorry youre struggling right now. But given time she will go back to you if yalls love is as strong as u say. Best of luck!

Im going through very similar problems with my fiance right now,  i walk in from work and because she on maternity and due very soon shes always tired, anyways ill walk in the door from work and she says i. Gave her a panic attack? Just cos im on the phone tomwork or whatever. Shes always calling me names and stressing all the time, i cant win with her, she has tried finishing me a few times but by the night she has settled a bit and calmed down and appolagized, but by the time te snext morning comes and she takes her first daughter to school she is being nasty again, i really feel like she resents me and wants me gone i keep thinking its hormones but she seems soo deadly serious when she screams these things at me in anger, i dont know wether i should just leave until the baby comes and give her spade but i hate the thought of doing this as it brakes my heart now having her by my side every night and morning obvs or i would have never asked ger to marry me she is the love of my life and all i can do is hide in our room atm to gife her space what should i do?

Hello, I understand that this post is almost 3 years old but I am currently going through the same situation and am miserable about it. I love my girlfriend and know she loves me but since she has been pregnant its as though she absolutely hates me. I was just wondering if it all worked out for you and if so was it just the hormones. I am just very scared for the future and want to be with my girlfriend and our child and become a family. I would greatly appreciate any help.

This brought me to tears. I'm a crazy bissshhhh to my man atleast 1hr of every day. But im trying to see past that. Could you please let the doctor know she's smoking and drinking???? If your ready to tell your family, I would. You need to establish a support system. As for her, she's being selfish. She probably thinks she needs space and it might do you some good in the end. She's bound to miss what she had at some point!

My girl friend did not want to talk to me when she was pregnant ,she stop visiting me ,she was not taking my calls, blocked me on FB. I was very worried then I approached her mother and explained everything to her, she looked at me and she said dont worry my boy I was axactly like her the difference is she is neturally a moody person since she is pregnant and hormones are rock sky up, she will be worse.Her mother adviced me to hang in ther and stop phoning her but I was always sending money to the mother for her to see the doctor. After giving birth she was a darling again ,loving, caring sweetheart.The only problem is when she fall pregnant again I must stand up for this. Well since i love her guess there is nothing I can do.

its normal, i was the same way the first trimester but once i got used to how everything was kinda changing i got over it, but i would deffinatly talk to her if u feel that alone, if shes not willing to talk you could always go see a theropist your self to let it out, and show her yr really into the pregnancy ask questions at dr appointments, ask her how she feels every once and a while thru out the day, if she is craving something bring it home from work if u can or ask of there is anything she would like, like a foot message or back message or even if u suck at it her toe nails painted or anything like that. try it and mayb she will relax more about being touched

Ik how you feel. My fiancé is 7 months. We were so happy an in love a month ago then a few days ago everything came crashing down. She told me she is unhappy and no longer in love with me. She left and went to her moms for a few day then I get a message saying she isn't coming home. We are trying to work things out but even when I do try she says it still isn't enough. She said she feels so helpless. Idk what to do. She has had a miscarriage before. I'm scared this is gonna stress her to the point where I lose her an our daughter

My boyfriend just Now started  putting me in my  place lol I needed it cause I was getting pretty bad..but hun if she's smoking and drinking..good chance she'll do that when the baby is here. I had an alcoholic mother and father..pregnant or not..putting a baby at risk like that is unacceptable hormones or not. At this point in time, you have to t think what is more important, you're gf or your baby. Try you're best to talk to her. If she doesn't want to talk then suggest that if she doesn't calm down you'll take some sort of action. My bf calmed me down allot when I told him to get out of my life because he hour green grapes instead of red :-)

Well, it seems i follow suit with plenty of you here.
My GF and I had the most amazing, beautiful, loving and involved relationship, we both said we were the best thing that has ever happened to each other... and at 41 and 38... we had some back ground to base that on.

Everything was amazing... Until she fell pregnant... we had disussed what we would do if it ever happened. She said she would have an abortion... i never suggested it, she did. I just said "Ok, so long as we have had the talk". Not but 1 month later, we find out she is pregnant. She was elated, aparently she had been trying for 3 years with the last partner. Anyway... we went through the rocky time as i did mention we had only known each other 3 months and was it a good idea?? We both tried to please each other... Then she left, said she was getting an abortion and the we were over... Well, we got passed that, i was happy she was having our baby and we were once again back on track.
She is a very very sensitive soul at the best of times, but having a hormone IUD sent her even worse.... seems being pregnant is doing the exact same thing. She is very quite and reserved, she does not do confrontation at ALL... which is great, but also very dangerous, as you never know what she has bottled up inside her.

She leaves me a couple of times during the pregnancy over the smallest things... one was just a silly comment... the other, i have no, we woke up, we made love, i ask her how she slept, she said terrible, i was up all night, i just can't see it working, sorry its over. BANG!! I was in total shock, she just instegetted sex, it was her idea.. then the minute its over, she dumps me.. in fact, it was right in front of another person... her friend.

We get back together after that... lots of work and i didn't think it would even happen... Ok, happy again, working hard together, then we go on a holiday for 2 weeks. Holiday was good, but we did have a couple of moments, one was when we were walking to dinner, she was holding my hand, but i couldn't walk on the path, so i let her hand go and walked next to her on the grass... after 20 seconds, she sits down and begins to sulk, then cry... Now i should of gone and cuddled her, but i really had no idea what i'd done and was just trying to snap her out of it and make her happy, dinner was only 1 minute walk away. Anyway, i walk off to the resturant and left her there, thinking she will follow (ok, big mistake)... long storey short, she goes back to the room and i was waiting at the restaurant. When i get back tot he room, she is in bed and very upset...

When we get back home, we are together for the week, she had started smoking a lot and i was worried about it and told her so.... She just told me, she doesn't stop me doing anything (true).. i said i was just trying to speak for a little one that didn't have a voice yet.
At the end of the week, she just dumps me.. she's she is happier and more at peace by herself.
Now i know i have told you bad stuff i have done here, but there is miles and miles of good stuff, always helping around the house, working for her, helping with her home renovation, being thoughtful, breakfast in bed for her every morning, with her pregnancy tablets and a cup of tea.

Its been 6 weeks since we had spoken, i had taken all her things back that were at my house (as she had asked).... Then i ring and ask to met up on Christmas Eve. she agreed, sheepishly. I turn up with a basket of christmas gifts for her and the baby and her dog, a card, a letter and some flowers... i know,its sounds i bit much, but i had secretly been buying her gifts during the year.

We had a good day... had a good talk, she told me she could go back, that she was broken and it wasn't all my fault (other passed relationships also hurt her)... we drank a bottle of wine and for an hour or two, she was her normal self, super happy, talking all about me and the fun times we shared, it was like old times again. She then invited me to her bed, just to lay down, she snuggled into me and rested her head on my chest, it was so nice to feel that bliss again. I told her i had forgotten how good this felt.. she told me she was thinking of the time we made love on my sun lounge. I said, hey stop that.... next thing i was horny and we made love. It was strange, she couldn't kiss me, but she was enjoying it so much, yet also had moments where her eyes were closed so she didn't have to engage in me.

We finished, both probably realised it should not of happened, we rested together, had a shower one after the other... then she was getting ready to go out... I said i better get going and she pretty much just said "by" from another room.... back to being cold and indifferent.

I understand the sex was the cause of any tension, i am sure she never meant it to happen... no doubt thought i might get the wrong idea.
I can also see that having sex at that time... just put us miles back.

5 days later, we speak on the phone about her home renovations... all is ok, i asked her if anything was wrong and she said it was starnge last time we met... I asked which part, she said the last part (ie, the sex)... I apologised, said i also felt bad. She said "Oh well" we had a try (not sure what that is meant to mean???)
I went on the say i had been thinking about everything she had to say that day and totally agreed with her, that we shouldn't be a couple. I went on the say "You must of felt so unappreciated at times when we were together".. She said it was ok.... she is just tired and the house is dragging on.

We spoke about the house and when the baby comes... she seems to feel a bit more at ease after the chat.... But she seems happy in her own little world of just her and the dog and her half renovated house.

I really hope she is ok... i would love to help her get it all done, but i now understand that is her "space" her indepentance and she must be left alone to live as she wishes....

It has taken me a long time to come to this understanding ( and a lot of heart ache, more than i have ever felt)... But ultimately, i support her decision, she has my best wishes.

Being at the birth is going to be strange i guess... but i will cross that bridge when it comes....

All i can say.. is it is such a pity, something so beautiful went so pear shaped, and it seems mainly over poor communication, some very sensitive hormones that i am sure she is not even aware of and some silly stubbness on my behalf.

It has killed what was once effortless and beautiful in everyway.
It really seems so weird to see 2 perfectly normal and loving people, that only want the same goal (to be happy, loved and a family) to now be walking away into separate lives.I do worry about the baby in all this... it seems she doesn't so much... or parhaps she just thinks it will be better this way.

Either way, it doesn't matter anymore.. that is the path she has chosen for her own reasons.

I just really feel for all those on these forums that i read about.. it is heart wrenching, all consuming and sometimes, breathlessly desperate...

But... it is what it is, you can't force it.. Only go with it.

Thank you for listening to my ramble

I am so sorry for you - reading your post has really made me think about how I am treating my current husband and how I treated my ex.  Not that we should use the excuse that we are pregnant to be complete *******... but sometimes our emotions are so out of whack we have little control over them.  When I became pregnant with my second - I turned off emotionally - I was such a loving wife and mother with my first (daughter) but for some reason I just became unhappy during my pregnancy with my son.  I needed someone to talk to  and I did not do that and things fell apart with my husband.  Since then I have remarried and I am pregnant with a little girl... and I know this can't be true but I feel - AGAIN.. I FEEL...that I felt different mentally and emotionally when I was pregnant with my son.. like I was allergic to testosterone or something.. I know it sounds silly.. but I honestly have been living the last 5 years a little sadder than I use to be.. much more cynical...a little more aggressive It has been better for the last 3 but the first 2 during and after his birth.. I was not me... but for some reason now I feel like I use to.. calmer, nicer, happier.  My thoughts are it might be some sort of chemical imbalance egged on by the pregnancy... now is not the time to dicuss it with her.. but giving her space and continuing on with your preparations for the baby might show her the light.  Worse case senerio - you are the father and have rights... legally... soon enough she will show - friends will comment that she should not be clubbing, drinking and smoking.. hopefully then she will come around... best of luck..

Hey I'm so sorry your going through this.. Pregnancy can be the most terrifying thing a woman has to go through. And Its just worse if theirs been bad things that has happened before.  For the simple fact that she wanted this baby, then I'm sure she still does, ans the first trimester is the scariest for miscarriages and now that shes out of the third trimester you can try talking to her, let her know that her changes of a miscarriage have went down by a lot now, and she can be okay.  And tell her you'll support her in getting any test done that she can for the baby.  keep being there for her. Keep telling her you love her.  Is she drinking while shes at these clubs? Cause if not, its okay to go out and have fun.  I don't like the fact that she is smoking though, How many a day do u know?  I know so many people that smoke during there pregnancy.  I am 30 weeks pregnant right now, During my first trimester, I was so afraid of something happening, I was so mean to my fiancee, but I was also very very ill from morning sickness, which can make your attitude a lot worse. Do you know if she is going through morning sickness?  I quit smoking when I found out which was really hard on me cause I smoked for 10 years before I got pregnant.  And I drank at least a couple beers everyday. So its been really hard on me.  I still don't drink but i have maybe one or two cigarettes a month.  Which isn't bad at all.  She is now in the second trimester.. Giver her some space, let her get used to the fact of being pregnant again. Let her come to you when she is ready, but still keep checking on her and doing as much as she will let you.  Even though she is really worried and upset, she loves you still, when you get pregnant with a baby by the man you love that love gets bigger and bigger, it doesn't disappear. Is the father around for the first baby? Maybe shes testing you to see if your stick with her through everything, so she knows she can trust you... Good luck and keep us informed.

Her hormones may not settle down till after she gives birth... but she doesn't hate you!! I had the same problem with my hubby, I'm a very loving wife when I'm not pregnant, but as soon as I am pregnant I turn a little bitchy... ok really bitchy! My husband just knows now, "it's my hormones" and my best advice, just hang in there and try not to pisss her off. I'm sure she's also a little worried about her baby, since she's had such a stressful history.
