Please this is serious I have been having these crying outbursts lately I feel as if I am under attack one little thing goes wrong and I totally lose it . I really do not want to bother all of my friends and family with it and my hubby feels awful for me I am a mess . Of course some of lifes difficult situations aren't helping any . Finances and other parts of being a grown up with my second child on the way . I have never been unstable and didn't even lose it like this with my first pregnancy does it go away or get better I am almost 16 weeks along HELP!!

Did you mention the extreem mood swings to your doctor? Depending on your doctor they might be able to help. My first daughter died when she was a month old and so my second daughter was on the way and I was a wreck (also my husband was out of work and having several minor heart attacks) - anyway, since I was at risk for post-partum depression my doctor prescribed Zoloft. It is safe to take during pregnancy (unlike paxil) and honestly, I felt normal emotionally and it felt great.
Otherwise, if that is something you don't want to do, does it help to remember that this is not normal for you? Usually when I am having a hard day it helps me to stop and think "it's ok, it's just hormones I'm not really going psycho" If it is not normal for you then it is simply the hormones combined with stress. Which, I think that means that it should go back to normal at some point during the pregnancy or after you have the baby.
Good luck to you.

A big pat on the back to you!! Just remember it is a phase & usually disappears after the first trimester. On those days where it is unbearable, try & get LOTS of extra rest and give yourself a little mood lifting treat. It is good that you recognize it - for your friends & family you could give them a warning on those days (jokingly say "watch out - today is a bad day for me", or something along those lines. Generally people will be more understanding towards pregnant women. Hang in there!!

Aaaaw poor baby! I know you probably feel crazy because your emotions are all out of whack. You'll be okay. By the time you realize it, he will be back home with you. Give him a call. Or watch something funny on tv or some upbeat music. If your environment is too "emotional" it will tend to keep you in that zone. Or call one of your friends, do some things around the house. After you read all of our responses you'll still be missing him madly. So, just get up and get your self moving. One secret is, I tend to make myself more emotional by dwelling on things. Cry it out and hopefully you'll be sick of crying and you'll feel better!

This is part of the normal hormonal swings of pregnancy. You can not change the stressors in your life, you can work on handling them one at a time. If things get worse talk to your OBGYN, Obviously you can not take medication that might hurt your baby but there are vitamins and natural supplements that may help.

best thing to do is, do what makes you feel good about yourself! when youre stressed out take a walk, read your favourite book, fill out a pregnancy journal, and best of all treat yourself to a bubble bath and pamper yourself!! and dont worry about money, i believe god takes care of all, we just bearly pay the rent and im pregnant too, but you know what just take each step at a time and enjoy your pregnancy! good luck

don't worry. my friend feels the same way. all you have to do is to calm yourself down. think about being nice and friendly for the following day. don't say anything mean to people. Ok?have a nice try!
