Annoyed – 39 weeks prego!?

Published January 1, 2011

Question by April: Annoyed – 39 weeks prego!?
I’m currently 39 weeks prego and since yesterday I’ve noticed that I get irritated and annoyed very easily. I’m been snapping at my husband a lot for no apparent reasons. Every little thing he says and does seems to annoy me when they are minor things that usually wouldn’t.

Is this normal?
Could this be a sign that labor is approaching?
Is this a symptom that usually occurs during the 39th week?
Is there anything that can be done to not get so aggravated other than controlling my temper?

Answers would be greatly appreciated because I feel horrible making my husband go through my “emotional abuse”.

It really is just your hormones. Consider yourself lucky that this didn’t start sooner! And yes, as the big day draws nearer, your hormones and emotions go a little crazier. Let your husband know in advance that you are sorry for snapping, but you just have a lot of emotions going through you. It will all be over soon.
