Mood Swings

lmkeller23

Hi Ladies... my sister is in her 1st trimester, she's doing great but has crazy mood swings. as I have not had a baby yet I don't know what's to be expected. my brother in law swears she's 2 different people sometimes.. he wants suggestions on anything he can do to make her feel better or calm her down at times.. he wants to keep her stress free as its still early in the pregancy.. any suggestions on things he can do? I told him I would make him a list!

I don't think there's a magic bullet for he moodswings but a good first step would be for your BIL to acknowledge that she is going through a lot of changes right now that are new to both of them and he will support what she needs if she just tells him. The one thing DH can do to guarantee a meltdown for me is to act like everything is just as it was--that I shouldn't be tired or cranky or eating a third piece of pizza etc. just having sympathy is a good start. And doing some chores around the house without being asked couldn't hurt!
