Mood swings in this pregnancy

I'm 32 weeks pregnant and it's like I have PMS everyday. I am so irritable and constantly snapping/getting annoyed and yelling. I also have a 26 month old son who constantly misbehaves which is what tends to get me started. I wasn't like this before I got pregnant (apart from when I was on my period) and I don't know if it's pregnancy hormones or just the fact my toddler is older now and more hard work. Anyone had bad mood swings and got better after they gave birth or is this the new norm?

I'm 27 weeks and have the same, sometimes I wonder if it's hormonal but with second/subsequent pregnancies you get far less downtime with existing DC to look after than first time round so think it could also be related to that.

This is me. 17w. Spoke to GP and midwife about it. Apparently fairly usual for number 2. I don’t have time to rest as much as I did with DC1.

I'm 38w with my 3rd and I totally get it, so moody some days, like I'm just mad at everyone and everything & I have no idea why, wouldn't worry too much about it just keep an eye on it and it will all be over soon Xx

Solidarity. I am only 9 weeks with #2, and feel the same. I am hoping it will get better after birth.

I’m angrier and much more likely to ‘snap’ and am a FTM - so no excuse for me 😂
