Take up smoking to calm your nerves.

Are you taking all your vitamins and nourished properly? That might help. I’ve never been pregnant but I’ve had steroid hormone treatments (prednisone) that do the exact same thing to your mood as pregnancy. Every time, I would want to lash out on someone, I would try to consciously remind myslef that it’s not really that bad, and that these hormones are responsible. Every now and then a good cry is ok, but you have to try and control it and always realize it’s not you, it’s the hormones. Try to be nice to the father, although he isn’t experiencing all the physical stuff, it can be pretty hard on him as well.

It’s probably just his imagination. And there is no best way to handle them, if you yourself realize that you are a bit “out of control” then just tell yourself you are acting silly because of hormones. Understanding your moods is the only way to deal with them and that still doesn’t keep you from feeling crazy from time to time. Good luck

Honestly I don’t know.. Just tell your b/f to be more supportive while you are going through all these changes. Every pregnant woman goes through some kind of mood swings, some are worse than others. I had terrible ones towards the end of my pregnancy, but I just explained it to my husband that sometimes I just could handle these mood swings. So I pretty much apoligized in advance and he completely understood and just tried to stay out of my way when I got the mood swings. I still get them once in a while and I had my son almost three months ago. Pregnancy really changes your body and mind. Your hormones are all out of balance.

first, your bf is going to have to learn to deal with it. Secondly, I’ve learned to take a step back before I start doing or saying something irrational and ask myself “do I really feel this way, or is it the hormones?” It doesn’t always work because sometimes it’s the hormones and I tell myself it isn’t and then act on it, but it does give me a moment to calm down. If you get really bad you’ll just have to find a way around it. My husband has learned to deal with me, but I don’t expect anyone else to, so now that I am in my third trimester and crabbier than ever, EVERYTHING that EVERYONE does annoys me, so I make up excuses to leave before I go off and alienate the people I love. If I’m on the phone with my friend and all of a sudden I feel the urge to yell at her for no reason, I tell her I am tired and need to go take a nap, no one questions it and I get to keep my friends.
Also, being pregnant is very stressful on your mind and body, and can make you crazy so make sure you take time every day to relax, and unwind, do what makes you a happier person. Take a warm (not hot) bath, read a book, go for a walk,… whatever it is that keeps you grounded, do it.
Good Luck and Congratulations.
