I'm an emotional mess

Of course I'm putting it down to pregnancy hormones as I was never like this before but I seem to be totally unreasonable and off the scale.
Last night was the worst, OH went out on a works do, I looked after his daughter as its our weekend to have her-not a problem, she's lovely and helpful and it's nice to have girly time.
I don't normally have an issue with OH going out but last night I went in to panic mode - who was he with, was he really on a works do, why wasn't he messaging me, was he safe, the irrational thoughts went on and stopped me sleeping. So by the time he got home (which was 5am this morning) I'd turned myself in to this total horrible mess, told him to sleep on the sofa and has to clear out his things today and get out.
All of this is totally unlike me, I've got no reason to doubt him but as my pregnancy is progressing, I seem to be going into overdrive with panic that something bad is going to happen and I'm going to end up on my own.
I don't really know how to calm myself down either, I feel totally fine this morning so the emotions are a horrid roller-coaster and I'm left wondering why I totally lost it last night.
Is anyone else having irrational feelings/thoughts? Any tips on how to deal with them would be much appreciated x

I had this with my first pregnancy. I do think it’s very common. Your hormones are messing with you and making you think the worst. I think it’s a little
Fear of what will happen. Nerves about a new baby and overwhelming fear of doing it alone. You are quite vunerable when pregnant. The only advice I can give is sit your oh down and explain what you felt and why you felt it. That you didn’t mean it as you know he wouldn’t. If happens again say what you would need. In my case I needed him to reassure me and just listen. Not argue back and Understand I wasn’t being myself. Just to give me a hug and say it’s all ok. After that conversation if I did fly off the handle he knew what to do x

Hey I had this a few times it's my hormones I do suffer with anxiety sometimes so I get worried when I have a thought like what's he doing? But I think it's our maternal Instinct kicking in almost like we try to prepare ourselves for something that's probably never going to happen just incase it did wed then be able to cope. It is completely normal and being pregnant can make you feel vulnerable. I've not gained any weight in this pregnancy but I'm losing my bum and my boobs now so that's set me off worrying my partner no longer fancies me Sad
