Mood swings are  conditions when a person experiences a drastic change in emotion within a span of few hours. Someone who suffers from this problem, in one moment  feels  very happy and the next moment  is suddenly upset , irritated, and  downright hostile .

Studies have shown that women experience  mood swings  twice as many as men. This is not surprising because many mood swings  are the effect of premenstrual syndrome, pregnancy, menopause, hypothyroidism and other biological problems. Studies also show that mood swings in women tend to be longer and more manic. This article will explain some tips on how to deal with mood swings especially in women :

Does anyone have any advice on how to control my mood swings a little better? I feel like I am totally crazy somedays and I know that I am mean to my husband and I always realize it after I say something hurtful. I am only 5 weeks along and I remember being like this with our oldest but I was alot calmer with our second. Any help is appreciated!!!!

I’m so moody.

before getting pregnant i never had mood swings or pms. i had some mood swings during early pregnancy and was fine later. after i started my periods following pregnancy. i feel like i am pms-ing all the time. i see spotting during ovulation which i never saw before…did havign a baby make me crazy..(i have lots of help with the baby..from my MIL who drives me crazy). can someone suggest tested and tried medications. i dont want to go prescription route and get addicted. prefer homeopathic or natural (but something better than just b vitamins).

Ladies who have been pregnant… what signs did you show at 2 months? I’m 2 months pregnant and just found out, because I haven’t shown many signs until about a week ago… now it’s full on… I’m noticing the baby bump, and I feel nauseous, and I’m noticing a lot of mood swings. I snap at my husband, Patrick, a lot, but immediately feel bad, because he never does anything but help me out and he’s just the sweetest. Also, I’ve had a bit of morning sickness, but not much, and I’m so tired. Is this all normal at two months? Are the mood swings most likely going to get worse? I feel bad, because it’s causing my husband a lot of stress… He gets the brunt of it, and I can see it in his eyes when I snap… He’s already freaking out (He’s excited, of course, but super nervous.), and I feel like I’m makin g it worse. In your experiences, how were the mood swings during your pregnancy? Do they get worse??

it has to be short, engaging and creative

Ever since I’ve been pregnant my mood swings and attitude has been through the roof. My boyfriend says I am bitching at him alot and its making him mad. I never was this bitchcy before I was pregnant but now Im a monster. Everytime I get mad at him he gets mad at me also. I told him that he needs to cooperate with me, but he says he’s not used to this. We dont live together right now, so when we argue its over the phone. When we get together we are very happy. We just cant stop arguing over the phone. How did your significant other handle your mood swings? I dont want him to get fed up and leave me. How should this be handled?
Also, we argue about stupid things. How did you get your significant other to deal with your mood swings?

I’m 25 weeks and up until maybe 23 weeks I never experienced mood swings (although I had other not so fun pregnancy symptoms) and my moods were always level. Since then I have them all the time! I feel so ridiculous because the majority of the time I don’t even know why I am feeling so crazy or what is bothering me. It’s like I just can’t pinpoint my emotions lol.. So is this just a taste of what’s to come? Or for some of you ladies did your moods get better in third tri?

How should one cope with the swinging moods of a pregnant woman?

My husband and I recently found out we were pregnant and shortly after that we got married. I have always loved him and always thought we were ment for each other but recently I am having these feelings of uncertanty. I am not sure if I want to stay married to him. Can I really live with him my whole life? I also feel a lot of resentment towards him and recently everything he does gets on my nerves. Is this a normal pragnancy feeling or am I really having feelings of not wanting to be married? It seems a little extreem but I do love him. But up until now I am feeling an estranged relationship with him and I am questioning the level of our relationship and hurting for my freedom back. I hope this is normal because I really want and pray for this to work out. We are 8 weeks along. Someone please help me!
