   I definitely did! It’s due to the huge amounts of hormone changes in your body during early pregnancy…

   crying spells for sure. i think I have cried daily with this baby since before I found out I was pregnant. hormones make you extremely emotional so you can go from sad to happy to raging mad in the same hour. i would say that it can feel similar to depression and some women suffer from depression while they are pregnant and also after, but usually it’s hormone fluctuation and not depression that cause the early pregnancy mood swings. at 12 -13 weeks you will notice that there is a significant change in mood because the placenta takes over hormone production for the growing fetus so the mother will be less uncomfortable and for a good majority of pregnant women most of their symptoms are not as noticeable or even disappear completely. I am looking forward to losing this morning sickness personally.
