Is there any way to ease the stomach bloating and mood swings in pregnancy, especially in first trimester?

So I thought not getting my period was going to be the best thing ever but lately I feel like I’m at the least 5x’s more emotional than when I get my period. I was at a pool hall with my fiance this past weekend and started crying because it seemed like he was ignoring me. I’m usually not like that at all and this is so weird and different and hard to deal with. I was just wondering if anyone out there can relate?

I am 11 weeks pregnant and moody. I cry out of no where and may snap on my boyfriend a little to much. But I really cannot control it and he doesn’t understand. Is there a way to cope with this emotional time??

I feel like i am on a emotional roller coaster! I Believe my bf is going crazy it was like i changed over night when i got pregnant! ugh! I am 10 weeks 4days and got forever to go! The mood swings are killing me!

Although not discussed as frequently as nausea or morning sickness, mood swings are definitely one of the less enjoyable aspects of pregnancy and very common.   Mood swings go beyond feeling tearful while watching sappy commercials or Lifetime movies; they can raise real-live havoc on your day-to-day ability to cope.   It seems unfair, but if you are plagued with PMS, you are also more likely to suffer from PMS type symptoms during pregnancy.

Mood swings will usually affect you more during the first and third trimesters.  Don’t worry when you are happy and content one minute, enjoying the company of a friend or family member, and the next minute, they are immensely irritating you.  These feelings are normal.  You may also feel increased anxiety or intense anger over small things that prior to pregnancy would have been a mere irritant.
