How do I control my mood swings?

Question

I am a little over 8 weeks pregnant and my mood swings are insane. Im not horrible screaming and crying but I dont have the level of patience for my rambunctious 5 year old that I normally do. Does anybody have any good advice or tips to keep me from going hulk?

Answer 1

try yoga or meditation, it will help calm u down. art, poetry and classical music also help a lot. listening to mozart 10 minutes a day may help ur mind relax. but still, i would also talk to ur five year old and try to get them to possibly behave better. tell them that u r having a hard time a u need their help in being less wild. im sure if u talk to them they would try and calm down a little but u still have to try to, i know u have a lot of mood wings but it would elp if u calmed ur mind down.

Answer 2

this is what i would do. 1) sit down and have a niceeee cup of tea or coffee, whatever floats your baby boat. 2)relax and read a nice book. 3). during one of your modd swings, scream into a pillow. or count to 8.

Answer 3

I would suggest breathing deeply and giving yourself a time out so that you are away from people.  Sometimes it might also be the hot weather that makes you irritable so take a shower if its too hot.  Maybe taking a walk might work.

Answer 4

you need to remember that you are having mood swings and that what is annoying you is probably not that big a deal so just try to let go of things thats what i do and it has worked great my husband and my daughter are happy and i have been complimented by friends and co workers about how easy going i have been so far, but i have always had good self control. you are a grown woman so be an adult and try to control yourself at least for your childs sake he doesnt know that you have no patience right now.

Answer 5

You need some you time....Get a sitter and have some

r& r   alone or with someone that makes you smile

spoil you...pregnancy can be overwhelming so have a escape plan...even knowing you could call someone  and get away , is all you need, when this happens

Congrats,  and all the best to you!
