First Trimester: Week 0-13
Your Emotional Changes
You may experience mood swings, ranging from the joy of having a baby to anxiety or depression from being exhausted and stressed. You may even have misgivings about your pregnancy at times, and experience bouts of weeping. All these feelings are normal, but do look to your partner for encouragement and understanding.You may also have a heightened awareness of your body and its new shape. If you think you are becoming unattractive, it is important to share your fears with your spouse.
Apart from mood swings and thoughts about your new body shape, you also begin to think more about your baby and its wellbeing, and if you are working, how to balance career and family demands, and how the baby will affect your work productivity.
At the same time, your interest in sex may decrease due to fatigue and nausea.
