I've been feeling extremely emotional, happy one minute and sad the next. I heard about mood swings in pregnancy, but what exactly are they and how common are they?
My tracker app kept reminding me that mood swings are peak during the 1st and 3rd trimesters due to estrogen and progesterone spikes. It's totally hormonal, so tracking your sleep and hydration can help you manage them better.
Mood swings are when you feel happy one second and crying the next, completely due to raging hormones. I had a C-section and even postpartum hormones made me so emotional. Just be gentle with yourself, it passes.
Oh, they are real! Yesterday I cried because my husband brought the wrong brand of ice cream, and then I laughed at myself. Hormones are wild right now, so just let those tears flow and blame the baby!
It's just your hormones playing up, making you irritated or sad for no clear reason. When managing work, it gets tough, so I used to take short breaks and practice deep breathing. Just communicate clearly with your partner and colleagues.
Mood swings are basically sudden emotional shifts caused by pregnancy hormones and sometimes fluctuating blood sugar levels. When I had GD, keeping my meals balanced and on time really helped stabilize my mood a lot.
They are sudden waves of intense emotions, like crying over tiny things or feeling irritated without reason. After all the hormone injections during IVF, I felt them very deeply. Please know that your feelings are completely valid and you are doing great.
