Did you get snappier/more moodswings with each pregnancy?

Hi, I'm currently pregnant with baby #3 and I've been really anappy. With my first I didn't really have any moodswings, a little more with my 2nd and this time my husband says it's pretty bad! Is this normal?? Or could it be linked to baby's gender??

I've noticed with this pregnancy I'm way snappier than I usually am. But I've so far chalked it up to increased stress. My first pregnancy things were very easy - I pretty much did what I wanted. Ate when I wanted, slept when I wanted... My biggest dilemma was where I was going to lounge about that day lol. This time I have a whirlwind of a toddler to keep up with, more housework as we're in our own place now, etc. I think just over time, even if you don't realize it, increased work just makes you snappier. At least that's how it's been with me.

I am WAY snappier. I feel so grumpy all the time.

I've not really been snappy this time or last but they do say hormones have more effect each time so it sounds normal to me.

Each pregnancy has been harder for me, because each time I have another child I'm trying to keep up with while being pregnant!

Probably just that then, just the stress of having more kids haha

I've felt like this too and mentioned to my OB...my BP was kinda high the last few times, I am hoping its nothing...

I'm a vile hormonal stressy bitch with this pregnancy! I actually need to try and chill before no one wants to be around me anymore. Might try acupuncture xx

YES. It's much worse this time. But it could be that you also get harder on yourself with 2nd, 3rd, 4th pregnancies because you think "I've got this down, I should be able to do everything perfectly." And that could affect your mood.

OH yeah I'm worse each time. I'm going to have 3 under 3 years when this baby comes and I'm already tired so every little thing sets me off.
