Obviously!

Yes, the hirmonal changes from being pregnant, giving birth, &/or breastfeeding could very well be causing her temper to be even worse than it already was but hormones are obviously not the only issue.

+1.

Caffeine?

yes, it can make you very bad tempered and long term it can interfere with your heart - which can show up in early signs of BAD TEMPER.

okay?

Happy now? Go back to class you 7th grader...

NP, sleep deprivation can cause irritability and the need for caffeine. Is she getting enough sleep, OP? Could you hire some evening help to give her a break after coming home from work? She may be an introvert who needs some time to herself to recharge.
