Hormonal? Nah — just magic in motion, babe.

Let’s get one thing straight: if one more person calls you "too hormonal," we are staging a very pregnant protest — complete with maternity leggings, marching snacks, and unapologetic rage tears.

You’re not "too hormonal." You’re magic. Literal alchemy in human form. You’re growing a brain, a heart, some little elbows, and probably a whole personality inside you — and you still managed to send that one email and remember where you left your keys (well, almost). That’s not dramatic. That’s supernatural.

But yeah, we get it. Second trimester hormones are no joke. One minute you’re happy crying to a Coles ad, the next you’re screaming because someone looked at you sideways. Welcome to the main stage of Pregnancy: The Mood Swing Musical.

You’re not emotional — you’re a magical creature riding a biochemical rollercoaster with a snack in each hand.

Why the Feels Are So. Damn. Real.

Your second trimester is supposed to be the chill one, right? The "honeymoon phase"? LOL. Sure, your energy might bounce back a bit, but your hormones are still doing the cha-cha, and your emotions are doing the splits.

What’s really happening? Estrogen and progesterone levels are and taking your mood for a wild, loop-de-loop joyride. But here’s the kicker: it’s not random. Your emotions are telling you things. Important things. Like when to rest. When to ask for support. When you’re hungry (again).

So the next time someone side-eyes your feelings, just remember — your body is on a full moon, glitter-storm level transformation arc. That’s powerful, babe.

Let them say you’re moody. Y

ou say you’re metamorphosing.

The "Tiny Things, Big Reactions" Phenomenon

Did you cry because your toast was slightly overdone? Did your partner breathe too loud and you considered throwing a pillow at them? Welcome to the second trimester meltdown menu, featuring:

• “I love you, but don’t touch me.”
• “I’m fine!” (You’re not.)
• “Why is this ad making me weep?”
• “I want cake. No, wait. Pizza. No, both.”

These aren’t breakdowns. They’re breakthroughs. You're learning to feel, express, and not apologise for any of it. That’s the kind of energy we’re taking into motherhood, thank you very much.

Your tears are holy. Your rage is valid. Your joy is untouchable.

How to Ride the Wave (Without Losing Your Mind)

Look, you’re not trying to become an emotional monk here. But a little emotional toolkit goes a long way. Here’s your bump-approved survival kit for hormonally-charged days:

• The Breath Trick: Inhale like you’re smelling chocolate. Exhale like you’re blowing out drama.
• The Power Snack: Low blood sugar is the ultimate betrayal. Keep those almonds and chocolate buttons on hand.
• The Vibe Check: Leave the room. Change the song. Take off the bra. Reboot the mood.
• The Comfy Fit: If your waistband is judging you, it’s time for Emamaco.

Pregnancy isn’t about suppressing your feels — it’s a

bout honouring them like the intuitive queen you are. Feel them. Speak them. Maybe yell them once in a while. It’s growth, babe. Literally and emotionally.

Big feelings? Big magic. It’s all part of the glow-up.

Why Hormones Actually Make You a Better Human

We spend so much time apologising for hormones, but here’s the real tea: they’re part of your superpower. They’re enhancing your empathy. Sharpening your instincts. Making you more attuned, more protective, more connected.

You might feel like a hot mess sometimes, but underneath that cry-laugh spiral is a woman who’s building emotional muscle like never before. You’re learning how to listen, to hold space for discomfort, to surrender. Those are core skills — not just for motherhood, but for life.

And the cherry on top? You’re doing it all while growing bones, brains, and toenails inside you. Casual.

Your hormones aren’t sabotaging you. They’re upgrading you.

Let’s Talk Wardrobe: Dress for the Feels

When your moods are unpredictable and your body feels like it’s shape-shifting hourly, your outfit better be the least stressful part of your day. That’s where

Emamaco’s maternity staples come in. Whether you’re sobbing, nesting, or dancing in your kitchen, our leggings and shorts are here to hold you (gently, lovingly, like a best friend who also understands bloating).

Super soft? Check. High waist support? Yes please. No pressure on the belly, and 100% judgment-free? That’s the vibe.

Dress for the life you’re creating — not the life that expects you to be fine all the time.

Final Thoughts: Hormones Aren’t the Villain

You’re not a hormonal mess. You’re a miracle in process. You’re a walking, talking, snack-eating paradox of softness and strength. And you deserve to be celebrated — not silenced — every step of the way.

So cry. Scream. Nap. Text your group chat in all caps. Buy yourself a donut and a new pair of leggings. Let your emotions take up space. Because what you’re doing? It’s big. It’s bold. It’s beautiful.

So the next time someone calls you hormonal, flip your hair, strike a pose, and remind them:
“I’m not hormonal. I’m just powerful, unpredictable magic. You’re welcome.”

Xoxo,
