Pregnancy is a beautiful thing and gives you a lifetime experience, some women glow during their pregnancy and shine like a star.
Women go through many ups and downs during those nine months and it can be pretty emotionally rocky. Women have mood swings brought on by all the pregnancy hormones and for the people around them, it can be hard to keep up.
There are many hormonal side-effects and crying over the most stupid things is one of them.
According to Lucy Puryear, M.D., psychiatrist and author of Understanding Your Moods When You’re Expecting, this is a staple of the first trimester in particular. “Estrogen and progesterone are skyrocketing at the beginning of your pregnancy,” she explained to Parents magazine, “The changes have big effects on your mood.
You can be tearful one minute and happy the next.”
The Facebook group decided to ask women to share the silliest thing they cried over during their pregnancies, to find out what women think. Scroll down to check out the ridiculously hilarious answers!
According to Parents magazine.
“You’re wearing your emotions on your fingertips, so you’re much more reactive to everything,” Jennifer L. Hartstein, Ph.D., a family therapist in New York City tells the outlet. “After your meltdown, you can get freaked out, thinking, What is wrong with me? This will get you upset all over again.
Just remember that it’s normal, and try to laugh it off and move on.”
Do you know what is pregnancy brain? “This occurs in the early stages of pregnancy and is the result of sky-high levels of progesterone or the “calming hormone.” Dr. Puryear told the outlet, “When I was pregnant with Parker, I once put my older son Peter’s Legos in the refrigerator, and then I tried to serve him a cup of keys to drinking!” says Caroline, a mom of two who lives in Oklahoma City.
Don’t worry if you feel to cry because the second trimester delivers unbridled giddiness! You feel morning sickness dissipates and you begin to feel the baby move.
How do you deal with all the ups and downs? First, just make yourself believe that you aren’t alone and that the out of control hormones are all a part of the process. Talk to other women who already are moms or soon-to-be moms for some emotional solidarity and advice.
You can share things or can laugh or cry together. “If you’re crying consistently and feeling down for more than two weeks without any pleasurable moments in between, or feeling worthless or hopeless, ask your healthcare provider for help,” says Dr.
Puryear. Postpartum depression can begin even before babies are born.
