Pregnant and very peed off!
When you're pregnant, the initial elation soon turns into a battle of raging hormones.

Coupled with the grumpiness brought on by sleepless nights, it's no surprise that the tiniest things begin to irritate you and, well, sometimes it just helps to vent!
Which is why we love this thread in our Coffeehouse, where mums-to-be are getting the little things that really p*ss them off out in the open ...
It all began when one mum-to-be asked:
FREE NEWBORN NAPPIES
"So what really winds you up when you are pregnant?"
And the replies flew in thick and fast!
Here are some of the things that made the hit list:
1 Fishcakes
We're not sure why! Damn those pesky fishcakes!
2 "When I went to the corner shop to buy a bar of chocolate and the man said: You shouldn't be eating chocolate when you're pregnant."
3 People who say, "The baby will come when it's ready."
Um, SO not helpful! This last trimester is lasting FOREVER!!
4 People constantly touching my bump.
Seriously people - hands off. Would you want me to touch YOUR belly?
5 Seeing mess on the floor and having to decide if it's worth the effort to bend down and pick it up.
So hard to bend with a bump.
6 "Are you SURE it's not twins? I bet there's another in there."
The sonographer has checked thanks but hey, you must be right ...
7 My husband's breathing and eating sounds.
This one featured quite a lot!
8 Stairs. Even just the one.
Yup - we're with you!
9 When you wake up in the night and OH is there snoring away like a gorilla!
Snoring partners featured a lot too. Maybe it's sleep envy as much as disturbance?
10 Constant texts asking if there's any news yet?
No, I haven't forgotten to tell you. We WILL announce any exciting news ...
11 People saying "I bet you want a girl don't you?", just because I have a son already.
Just DON'T assume, people!
12 Smells - I can't tolerate them! Especially on the bus!
Oh god - yeah ... breath smells, coffee, fags ...
13 People breathing SO loudly.
How VERY dare they?
14 Just the thought of a ginger biscuit coming in my house makes me want to vomit!
Poor ginger biscuits featured several times too - what did they do?
15 The dog being near me
Aww - poor Rover!
16 The smell of the fridge (It's clean, it just smells "fridgey")
Yep, even fridges are annoying!
17 EVERYTHING!
"I HATE everyone and everything at the minute haha. Everything including the dog seems to be winding me up! I do hope it passes soon" - Holly
