I am just coming up to 6 weeks pregnant & boy oh boy am I emotional. I constantly feel on the verge of tears- when I am happy or sad. I am also experiencing irrational bouts of rage, usually about work frustrations. Thankfully I can keep these under control but my poor husband must be getting tired of my rants. I forget about these frustrations within minutes & then I'm onto the next high or low which is making me feel CRAZY. This is quite out of character for me & is making me anxious. Did anyone else have crazy mood swings this early on?

Yes. Totally 100% normal.

I was extremely emotional, during the first trimester especially. Things seemed to even out a bit for me around 20 weeks and I feel emotionally more "normal" these days. My advice: avoid any "triggers" if possible. For me that meant avoiding the news, internet videos, and quite a few emotional blogs. I realize that is harder to do with work-related stuff! Good luck-- it won't last forever!

I am a very calm and logical person, and I felt totally looney tunes throughout the whole pregnancy. It took all my effort not to be a total bitch to my husband all of the time, and I am a nice person! Totally pregnancy. I used to cry and insist that people in this Greek restaurant were lying to me about beiing out of beef souvlaki like pretty much every day. I wrote to their head office complaining about the lack of beef. Maniac. Total maniac. And it went away immed after giving birth.

I think it's completely normal. I have cried so many times over what I'm going to eat because of the MS!
-
Oh yes. I was totally fine during my first pregnancy. I'm a horrible person to be around this time. It happens.
-
yep.
In fact, I was more emotional during my first tri. I was 100% normal in the other 2 tris. -
100% same experience here. I'm now at almost 10 weeks and I am only getting crazier...
-
Haha yes.... So ridiculous. I was always on the brink of tears!!
-
Yup, totally normal. 15 weeks here, and I called my husband bawling last week because I was lost. Rationally I knew I just needed to pull up googlemaps on my phone, but I couldn't calm down enough to do that until he talked me down. The best one is still when I cried because he drank my coke, which was a while ago. I also definitely am losing my temper a lot, and it all started pretty much before I got my bfp. So basically my pms turned into crazy pregnant lady. DH mostly thinks it's funny, thankfully.

Normal! For me, it didn't last the entire pregnancy but would come in waves.
-
Ah ladies your posts made me laugh & feel a little less 'I'm the only pregnant looney I know'- thanks for that. Keeping my fingers crossed that the emotions will straighten out later on, along with the exhaustion & uncontrollable appetite, so glamorous!
-
Oh yes... totally normal. I'm mostly "ragey" though and easily set off by things. My poor DH. It has gotten a lot better in last few weeks! Hang in there!
