The side-effects of pregnancy

Crying all the time

What is it? Bursting into tears for no particular reason: a TV advert, walking past an old person, seeing a beautiful sunset...

Why? It's mostly hormone-related, but can also be down to feeling anxious or depressed about the pregnancy, and worried about the future. If it's really serious, it could be antenatal depression.

Will it go? Most women find that once the baby's born, and your hormones are back to normal, this type of crying subsides.
