As it usually happens
A pregnant woman can often experience flare-ups, tears or anger. And usually in the first place is always hard "gets" the closest person - her husband. Naturally, the husband, loving his wife and sincerely worrying for her, tries to endure all these antics and each raznaetsya that tomorrow everything will pass and the beloved will again become still fun and carefree.

- Endless comments from relatives and friends about your pregnancy
In the first months it is better not to talk at all about the fact that you will have a baby. No, it's not about the eyes of others and other people's signs. Everything is much simpler. Everyone to whom you tell about your pregnancy will not be allowed to express your opinion and give a lot of advice. In addition, there may be people who do not approve of your desire to become a mother and begin to ask questions and questions and bring in a lot of arguments such as "It's not time yet", "Now is it now?", "Are you ready?", "And not hurried up? ", etc. Assume that all these comments will quickly bother you and start irritating you.
Maybe the other extreme. Careful relatives and friends who want to prepare you as best as possible for a new stage in your life, immediately begin to fill you with all sorts of advice, half of which may not be useful at all. It often happens that your pregnancy is the main topic for conversation during your joint meetings. It's good, if you just give useful advice and recommendations. But as a rule, it is necessary and without any "horror stories". Trying to inform you all about the topic of pregnancy, loving relatives can begin to talk about any pathologies or complications, cite terrible examples, etc. And you negativseychas absolutely now to anything. Why do you need extra fears? Here then excitement and irritability are then manifested.
Therefore, the first tip: tell about your pregnancy only to the most intimate people, and all the distant "girlfriends" and usual friends let us wait.

This is the second cause of irritability in pregnancy. Kakisvestno, any hormonal adjustment can always lead to the fact that the mood begins to change, there may be unjustified attacks of tears or on the contrary, laughter. During pregnancy, the hormonal background of a woman strongly changes, hence all the consequences follow in the form of hysterics, irritability and endless whims.
Especially often this is manifested during the first trimesterabremennosti, as well as about a few weeks before the birth itself. Unfortunately, there's nothing to be done about it, so the only way to cope with such an irritation is simply to endure it, trying to keep yourself in the hands as much as possible.
- The physical condition of a pregnant woman

Appears excess weight, there may be problems with the intestines, swelling of the legs, begins to ache a little back, and sometimes in addition to all this and develops hemorrhoids. Yes, and no one has canceled the toxicosis yet.

Here, there can be only one advice : ask your relatives to help you in your affairs and spend as much time as you like - rest, watch funny movies, chat with your girlfriend.

- Think about your baby

And also think that now the baby is inside you and feels all the changes in your mood. Believe me, as soon as you remember that your crumb in the inside of you now can hear and feel all this, you will immediately get lost and get annoyed.
