Q: My 34 years old sister is 2 months pregnant and she says that she cannot bear the site of her husband. She gets very irritated by the thought of her marriage. Is this a natural process or anything else?

A:When a woman conceives, body undergoes hormonal changes and woman undergoes lots of emotional turmoil, so having irritability and short temperedness could be signs of emotional turmoil. If it is increasing a lot it would be worth seeing a counsellor who can help. It will be good to avoid medications to control the symptom. Making some changes in her lifestyle would help, reducing work pressure, increasing relaxation time, taking on physical and mental exercise, drinking adequate fluids and having balanced meals would certainly help.
