Heightened emotions

I’m only 14 weeks pregnant today. I was wondering if it’s normal to feel easily irritated and mad more frequently. I feel like I get mad so easily now at anything that happens. 
This has caused tension with my husband. Does anyone have any advice how to handle these things.

    I'm 21 weeks and have had this a bit throughout, just more extreme emotions. However, over the last week it has been wild. Very very pissed off at everything for no reason, crying over nothing or tiny things, extreme sadness or loneliness unprompted. 
    Part of the issue can be sleep. I've not been sleeping well this week, so I think it's making the already wacky hormones so much worse. Maybe that could be something for you, would be to try and get more rest/sleep. 
    Otherwise the only thing I feel like I can really do in the moment to help myself is to control what I can of my surroundings. Play music that's the mood I want to be in. Make myself tea. Take a shower. Take a deep breath. This normally works, but sometimes only temporarily lol.

    Completely normal.
    I cry at the drop of a hat since I've been pregnant.
