I work full time, Im pregnant and also have a 3 year old son. I find that whenever I am home I am so irritable all the time. I never feel like doing anything and I am always yelling at him and my husband, why is this?

Maybe part is being pregnant, but are you eating right? Are you sleeping?

Having a 3 year old child can be extremely stressful. Are you experiencing any problems with depression as well?

You sound plain old stressed and tired to me.

I find I get almost always irritated with my partner whenever I'm stressed or a bit dissatisfied in my life. It's nothing to do with her, and I have to try not to let it out on her.

I find having some sort of outlet really helps. For me, it's singing, daydreaming and listening to music...oh, and watching reality TV. lol
