How do you deal with pregnancy hormones?

This is my second pregnancy and thankfully I'm not nearly so weepy or emotional, but I'm wondering how others deal with the irrational hormone swings. I'm a project manager in software engineering at a male dominated work place (which is more than fine by me if I'm my sane normal self), so I don't really have the liberty to allow myself to fall apart at work and often come home wound up and falling apart.

What do you do to try to keep the hormonal roller coaster tolerable when you don't have the liberty to fall apart?

    Unfortunately for my husband he cops it all when i get home from work. I have to be strong at work being a high flow retail manager, sometimes i have to go slip away for a few minuets and have a good scream. My husband is very supportive and understands that i cant loose my head at work and that he will just have to deal with me when I we get home. That's how i dealt!

    a healthy diet, understanding friends, herb tea, like camomile or rasberry leaf. my daughter is pregnant. it is those around her that need to be understanding and not take her personally. meditation is a miracle worker. have a friend that will let you blow off steam, without taking anything personally. yoga.
