Have you seen late pregnancy turn women into monsters?

I just wonder. This last week I have been so irritable and grouchy, especially when it comes to my family. This has been the hardest pregnancy but I have tolerated the misery fairly well until the past week.

Have you seen women finally buckle under the pressure of being pregnant and go off on their families? For example, while I worked all weekend my husband and my kids worked to clean the house and every night I would come home I would find reason to yell at (especially) my husband. Of course, he gets totally defensive and throws it back in my face, but I am too angry to care right now. The last straw was last night when I jumped on him for washing baby clothes and assumed he threw them in the washer with his filthy work clothes (which he probably did). Of course, he's more childish than the kids are and totally doesn't understand, but have you ever seen moms-to-be in late pregnancy just turn into Mommy Dearest?

I even told my husband I'm going to give the baby away (of course, I wouldn't think of doing this, but I just feel mean.)

it's hormonal, just be sure to thank and apologize after the birth. pedicures helped me keep my cool. just a few minutes to sit alone and be pampered. so nice that i still do it now.
