Abstract
Mood swing is a widespread problem during pregnancy. However, in the developing country like Bangladesh where 38% populations are women and their family never seek for any help during pregnancy, even they do not become aware of this complication which can be harmful to fetal. They cannot imagine it may cause miscarriage, and even a mother is suffering from a severe mood swing can deliver an abnormal baby. This paper presents findings from a three-month-long ethnography and online survey conducted in Bangladesh where the total number of the participant was 207. Our analysis surfaces necessary care and cure of mood swing problem for pregnant women. We also proposed an application using which a woman can get initial suggestion and also can enjoy an environment she prefers to make her happy for instance.
