Feeling irrational at 9wks preg?

I know that pregnancy hormones are well known for causing ups and downs but is anyone else feeling completely irrational about everything and everyone?

Im fine in the morning when not tired but as soon as I come into contact with commuters, work colleagues or my husband breathing in the wrong way I swing into this black thundery cloud.

Like the worst PMT ever but nonstop.

Is this normal? Will it go away anytime soon ?

It's perfectly normal. I wasn't too bad 1st time round with my son but still had the occasional meltdown.

This time round I was a nightmare for the first few weeks and my poor hubby had to be very patient. Dealing with a sobbing woman who had no idea what was wrong. It did ease after the first trimester.

The bad news is I can I'm still more emotional than normal even now in the 3rd trimester.

thanks for the re-assurance.

I wanted to start a fight with a guy on the train for just sitting next to me and having broad shoulders this morning. Really had to get a grip!

Phew thanks guys. Such a relief to hear.

Feeling like this makes you doubt everything and is very unsettling.

I can look fwd to feeling better
