Babies dad moving on sending me into depression

Just after some advise really.
im 26 weeks pregnant but not in a settled relationship.
I split up with my little girls dad two years ago & although I have moved on with another partner..who’s baby I am carrying, it’s not a settled relationship & I was ready to leave, just before finding out I was expecting.
what I can’t wrap my head around is the fact I have just recently found out my ex partner, who is father to my little girl, has finally moved on too & got a girlfriend, & suddenly it has sent me into a major depression, where I am going through all the raw emotions like we have only just broke up.
I don’t think I really processed our breakup, but why has it taken him to move, on for me to suddenly feel these strong emotions.
I know I’m not fully content in my current relationship, and my ex was good to me. It’s just we were together for six years & things turned hostile & stale.
i was convinced at the time that the separation was everything I wanted.
I’m now expecting another man’s baby, yet mourning the break up of my ex.
i don’t expect anyone to be able to understand this, as even I can’t make sense of it.
but it’s frightening me as my feelings are so intense & the hurt I’m feeling is so profound.
I know I’ll get over this eventually, but it’s something I never expected to be experiencing, & I’m just wondering if something like this has happened to any other mum’s out there.. after they’ve moved on, but maybe not been as happy as they had hoped & then their ex has moved on & it’s hit them hard?
