Im barely 5-6 weeks and already crying over silly things, then angry next minute, poor husband lol. Is it too early for mood swings ya its in my head? when did urs start?
Mood swings can start as early as week 5 or 6, often alongside terrible morning sickness. When you feel physically miserable and nauseous all day, it naturally affects your mood and makes you irritable. Just take rest, eat small light snacks, and don't be hard on yourself.
Mood swings can start within the first few weeks due to early hormonal changes. Having experienced a loss before, I was constantly anxious during early pregnancy, which made my mood swings even more emotional. Please be very gentle with yourself and speak to your doctor if the anxiety or sadness feels too heavy.
According to what my doctor explained, mood swings can start around week 6 of the first trimester due to a sudden surge of hormones like estrogen and progesterone. These hormones affect neurotransmitters in the brain that regulate mood. It is a completely biological response, so please don't think it's just in your head.
Honestly, I panicked so much in my first month because I was getting angry at my husband for no reason and thought I was losing my mind. But later I found out it's completely normal and starts around week 5 or 6. It gets much better once your hormones settle down in the second trimester, so don't worry!
They can start quite early, even before you miss your period in some cases! I remember crying over silly TV commercials in my first month itself. Just stay positive, do some light walking or listening to music to lift your mood, and enjoy this phase.
