How to stay positive

Hi there,
Im 15 weeks pregnant and having a really hard time. It was not planned but I've decided to have the baby and my boyfriend is extremely supportive and happy. Its just me with the problem. Im having a really hard time getting used to my body changing and Im feeling extremely insecure. I also used to be a big partier and Im really missing going for a beer with friends and the independence of my life before having kids. To make matters worse Ive never really been a maternal person and I feel so terrified of becoming a Mum and losing all my freedom and becoming miserable and then doing a terrible job of it because Im not happy. I feel like my constant irritability is taking a toll on my relationship but I really dont feel like I can control it. Does anyone have any advice or similar experiences which might help me calm down and stay positive?
They would be VERY MUCH appreciated... thank you.
