Im 11 weeks and honestly the mood swings are too much, one minute im crying at a tv ad and next im snapping at my husband for nothing. Everyone says it gets better in second trimester but is that actually true? Just want to feel like myself again.
Second trimester is when most women feel more stable, hormones kind of even out and energy comes back. But honestly they shift again near the end before delivery. Totally normal, dont worry.
Honestly the first trimester I felt like a totally different person, crying at ads and all. For me things calmed down a lot once I hit the second trimester, around 14-15 weeks. It really does get better.
The mood swings are so real, please dont feel bad about them. For me the second trimester was much smoother. And just so you know it shifts again after baby comes, so be gentle with yourself throughout.
Settle down? Mine packed a bag and left for 9 months ha. Jokes apart, the middle months are usually the sweet spot, you feel more like yourself by 4th month.
