Am I normal to feel this way?

A bit about myself. I have a wonderful partner, 2.5 year old and due baby no 2 in a few months. Mid 20s.
I guess for forever long as I can remember , I have suffered from daily low moods, stemming from childhood and teenage trauma, my moods can switch one minute I'm happy , next low or really snappy with my partner and sometimes have to go to bed and walk away from him because I feel so weird it’s a hard thing to explain, I’m either positive or negative and sometimes convince myself all these thoughts people think of me when I have no idea what they are thinking. I guess I probably have a bit of anxiety but the next day I’m confident it’s strange
I get quite easily triggered by mess, loud noise etc. I’m a bit of a worrier but have been trying to work on not listening to my thoughts.

Im just tired of feeling this way and wondered if it is normal? Sorry if what I’m saying is confusing 😂
I appreciate I’m pregnant but tbh I have been like this for a long time
I do try be social , talk about my feelings , not excercise atm as I’m pregnant and tired but yeah
I am very happy with my partner and love my family to bits- Hope someone can advise, this is my first time
on here, please be kind xx

Well have you been treated for your trauma? If not, then that would explain some of what you are experiencing.

@CoCoNoDough Maybe trauma was the wrong word but I did have a tough time growing up, family relationships etc from 10- late teens. Very toxic first boyfriend when younger, maybe these all play a part
