Q: Anyone Have Strong Emotional 'symptoms' During Pregnancy?

So...it's been forever since I've been on here. I've been trying to keep this off my mind because we've really been struggling to get preggo for so long now but...I've had a few odd things going on with my health. I had what appeared to be a regular period but ended sooner than usual and I've been feeling sick to my stomach on and off. My biggest thing right now is my emotions though.
I've been feeling extremely anxious to the point of feeling sick for no reason. I've been feeling very emotional and for some reason I feel the need to have constant reassurance...in my accomplishments and how I look. I've never felt like this before and things are going pretty good in my life.
Has anyone had emotional symptoms that were caused by pregnancy? I don't mean feelings about your pregnancy...just emotional changes because of pregnancy.
Any insight would be great. I've tried looking for this info and it keeps coming up with emotional reactions to pregnancy...obviously...that's not what I'm looking for.
Thanks Smile

yes when your pregnant and especially in the first trimester your hormones are changing and your bound to be emotional. i remember being in floods of tears for no apparent reason and five minutes later i was laughing

Thanks for the response.
I realized too that I should mention the obvious...yes...I know that taking a test would be the easiest way to end my wondering...but money's tight and I'm soo tired of wasting money on another opportunity to be disappointed. Very pessimistic of me...I know, but I've just been trying for so long now. It's actually been almost a year since buying a test...and I almost prefer holding onto hope instead of finding out right away that I'm not.
If anyone else remember how they were feeling (stress, anxiety, insomnia etc...) during the first month or so...I'm interested to hear.
Thanks again! Wink

ooohh the emotions were bad... it was like PMS times 100. I could not watch movies that had touching moments, because i would start bawling and my temper was worse than ever. My dh caught the brunt of it as well as my best friend Laughing

i know its awful isnt it? one moment you're happy and laughing, the next the bawling your eyes out for no apparent reason. my partner thought i was mad! it was worse for me at the end of the pregnancy though
