It is completely normal. Of course someone who isn't pregnant will take offense to what you are saying when you are on a rampage. It's beyond frustrating because they say they understand and they really don't. Do they think we ENJOY acting and feeling psychotic sometimes??? The mood swings die down as you get further along, at least they have for me. I am in my third trimester now and I do "overreact" every now and then but not like I did in my first and second trimesters. Hang in there and don't get upset. You are a hormone casserole right now and unfortunately there is nothing you can do about it expect try and calm yourself down when you know you are having a moment. I'm nesting right now so I find cleaning my house helps LOL.

I have been known to be moody during pregnancy as well.  You've got a lot of hormones doing crazy things right now.  Just take a few deep breaths before yelling or whatever and maybe it'll help calm you down a bit.  But, all of us pregnant women do understand. :-)
