Anyone else experience this?

Before I became pregnant, I struggled with PMS. I would get really cranky and short-tempered. DH and I would argue at these times. Now, being pregnant, I feel more balanced I guess. I just feel calmer in general and we have hardly argued at all. Kind of makes me feel like most of the arguments were probably more my fault!

I guess I'm just concerned that once I start getting my period again I will revert back to my old self. Does anyone else feel this way? I think I might ask my doctor about it.

I wouldnt necessarily blame it on yourself. When woman experience PMS we go through a hormonal imbalance. Now pregnant our hormones are on a different level, therefore different emotions. My menstrual cycle (tho only had 2 times before getting pregnant again) after dd was born was different.. so yours may be different also. You may not have as bad PMS .. child birth changes your body.

I had HORRIBLE pms before becoming pregnant with DD. I mean I was a nasty, crazy emotional mess. Not to mention the horrendous cramps that honestly felt like early labor. After DD was born, I changed so much. My cramps became bearable if not non-existant and while I still suffer from some emotional changes, it's not nearly as severe as it used to be. I hope that stays the same after this baby

I think I'm more mellow because I am too tired to argue!
