@deesha Hello, Mood changes during pregnancy can be caused by physical stresses, fatigue, changes in your metabolism, or by the hormones estrogen and progesterone. Significant changes in your hormone levels can affect your level of neurotransmitters, which are brain chemicals that regulate mood. You can do the following things- Ask her to Get plenty of sleep, Take a break during the day to relax Get regular physical activity, eat well, Spend time with your partner take a nap. Go for a walk, see a movie with a friend. If her mood swings last more than two weeks then seek professional help. Thanks.
