Pregnancy Diary

One of the “joys” of pregnancy that most women experience is mood swings! One minute you can be laughing and then suddenly break into sobs over absolutely nothing. Your mood swings can affect you and those around you,so not only do women experience it, but their partners, other children and family members experience it as well.

Mood swings generally start during the first trimester, level off during the second trimester, but tend to come back full force during the third trimester.

Some women are on cloud nine throughout their pregnancies, some women cry, and others start to do things like laugh all the time.Though mood swings during pregnancy are completely normal,if you feel like you aren’t acting normal, or there is something peculiar about your mood swings, be sure to talk to your doctor or midwife about it.
Most of the time, your doctor can prescribe something to help you feel better, and feel more like yourself. In a few cases, the mood swings may actually be masking prenatal depression.
