I don't think I felt particularly emotional/hormonal during both pregnancies. But I don't really get affected by PMS either (and I've only had 2 periods in the past 4 years due to pregnancy + breastfeeding!)
Anyone else not feel hormonal during pregnancy?

OH I wish, I'm a wreck it seems like! The waterworks turn on so easily these days, but I have always been emotional so I'm sure that has something to do with it.

I became more hormonal post partum than I did during pregnancy. Lol

Instead of hormonal, I had this sense that everything was alright with the world... It was a total sense of peace and stability. I don't know how to explain it, but it was a really nice feeling!

@Mrs. Jacks: I had that same feeling!
I get really bad PMS, so I was surprised that I did not get hormonal at all during pregnancy. Like Mrs. Jacks said, everything was alright with the world. I was so happy and at peace. I still kind of feel that way now that LO is 7 weeks and sleeping better.

@duckduckkristen: I hung onto it until I started cycling again. Hopefully that happens for you too! I thought I was so weird... I had never heard of that happening before, so I'm glad you felt it too

I have not felt hormonal at all. My question is, if you don't feel overly hormonal during pregnancy, do you have a lesser chance of getting the 'blues' after the birth? I reeeeally hope so!!
Those of you who weren't hormonal - did you still get the blues afterwards?

@ktgee04: I had two days of very intense feelings after delivery. (Both high and low) But that was it for me.

@Mrs. Jacks: I'm pretty nervous about this happening so your experience is reassuring. I have heard of it lasting for months and it honestly terrifies me

I was not hormonal at all during pregnancy. I am a bit of a crier, so I really expected to be one of those pregnant ladies who just weeps at the smallest thing, but I wasn't. I think my husband was pleasantly surprised!
And I have not had any real baby blues, beyond some "oh my god, my life has changed forever" moments. But I've heard sometimes nursing can postpone the baby blues, so I'm a little worried it might hit when I wean my LO.

@ktgee04: I felt totally balanced during my pregnancy and have remained the same at 6+weeks post partum. I've been pleasantly surprised.

@ktgee04: about two weeks after LO was born I felt pretty low for a couple days and wished I hadn't had him, but other than that I've felt great.

No crazy hormonal rages here. I feel normal...maybe happier. I don't really get PMS either. DH has been commenting on how content I have been lately.

I had a huge emotional outburst the morning of the day I found out I was pregnant. It actually led me to take a test. I had a few times where I felt a little weepy in my first trimester, but overall I didn't have any of the big swings I'd been fearing.

I wasn't hormonal during my pregnancy either, and other than 1-2 days where I was weepy postpartum, I have felt pretty awesome since Sawyer was born!
@Mrs. Jacks: I had the same feeling, of calm and peace. I think that is what kept me sane through all of my complications.

My DH tells me that I was super calm and laid back during my pregnancy....much less high strung than I was before getting pregnant! I don't think we got in a single fight during my whole pregnancy....

in the first trimester, i cried in a movie, which i don't normally do and i was a little irritable but that was probably because i wasn't feeling well. but now, in the second trimester, i'm pretty even keeled and non-emotional. just generally content with life.
