This can be: Shifts and changes in your hormonal levels throughout pregnancy can have an effect on mood. Also, as you begin to approach your due date, your anxiety may increase especially if this is a first baby. Also inability to sleep through the night can cause irritability as can physical discomfort such as muscle ache and fatigue. Increased social demands and expectations may also play a part.

Depressed vs moody: Moodiness can certainly be normal in pregnancy - including becoming easily upset. However, if you are truly depressed that is not normal. Please talk with gynecologist, so that it can be determined if you are developing clinical depression or if this is more a symptom of pregnancy.
