Pregnancy can create many ups and downs with your emotions. No two pregnancies are exactly alike, so how you feel depends on your personal situation–including your mental health.

However, knowing how hormonal changes can affect you during pregnancy is important. That way, you’ll be more prepared as your pregnancy progresses. You’ll also be able to note any changes you’d like to discuss with your healthcare provider.

It can be difficult to understand pregnancy, so we’re here to help. Contact Sound Choices Pregnancy Clinic to learn more about the emotional support we can provide.

Moodiness as an Initial Pregnancy Symptom

During early pregnancy, you may feel a little out-of-sorts due to the surge in hormones. These hormonal changes can cause symptoms such as mood swings and crying more often.

These symptoms can be an annoying or even an overwhelming part of pregnancy, but know that other women have experienced the same thing you’re going through.

If moodiness is profoundly impacting your life, speaking with a healthcare provider can make a big difference. They can help you develop a plan to help manage this change.

Moving Through Pregnancy

Pregnancy is a time of great change. It can be difficult to know what to expect.

The idea of going through labor and giving birth can feel frightening. You may feel stressed or concerned about other things, like preparing for your baby, affording material items, etc.

These changes can lead to mental health concerns. About 7% of pregnant women experience depression, which is characterized by ongoing sadness or disinterest in everyday life.

There’s no shame in asking for help. Sound Choices Pregnancy Clinic is here to listen and help you through your journey. We can also give you information on mental health providers in our area.

We provide additional support through parenting resources like classes and material aid through our “Earn While You Learn” program.
