Hormones shift throughout pregnancy, and can cause symptoms that may be similar to those associated with PMS. It's important that your body is producing enough progesterone to sustain a pregnancy. Since PMS is often due to low levels of
progesterone, I'd suggest that you keep track of your symptoms and report them to your doctor sooner rather than later. Ask your physician to check your progesterone blood level. It is life-sustaining for the fetus. You may need to take extra progesterone, especially early in your pregnancy before the placenta takes over the role of providing essential nutrients and hormones to your baby.
Is it possible that I am suffering from PMS even though I am pregnant?
