do you get more hormonal when pregnant?

Question

I have a lot on at the moment so it may explain why but I've noticed latley I'm really stressed, like to the point my body is going stiff and I'm just crying. So I'm wondering if it's due to hormones? I've never been like this But I'm really into the pregnancy so thouht that could be why

Answer

During pregnancy your body is slammed with a massive amount of hormones. This affects women in different ways obviously because our bodies are all different. It's extremely common and normal to start crying or Screaming or laughing and have no reason why. You're basically getting overdosed on hormones lol and there's not much you can do about it.  I actually got extremely calm, which is not normal for me lol I'm usually pretty hyper. There's an interesting theory on this with regards to people with chronic depression like I have. One of the reasons women get over emotional during pregnancy is because you get an overdose of Serotonin... Even though it's the "happy" hormone, too much of it can make you all over the place . People with chronic depression have a natural deficit of this hormone so when we get the overdose, the result can be basically evening us out. It was an extremely surprising and welcome experience for me that ended about three weeks after my son was born haha
