The American Pregnancy Association offers these suggestions to help keep mood swings under control:

  • Get enough quality sleep.
  • Take a few quick breaks each day to just relax and unwind, or sneak in a quick nap.
  • Get daily exercise and eat a healthy, balanced diet. Talk to your doctor about what's appropriate.
  • Spend time relaxing with your partner.
  • Do something fun with a friend.
  • Get a massage, or take a pregnancy yoga class.
  • Take it easy. Try not to get too stressed or overwhelmed with worry.
