Intensified feelings for DH. Hormone overload?

This is my 4th pregnancy and it is the easiest out of the lot so far. But I just keep having these overwhelming feelings of love for DH. I feel more besotted with him now than I did when we first met.
-Butterflies
-Following him from room to room
-Trying to please him
-Crying when I look at him
-intense physical feelings of pain when he leaves for work.
-Similarly intense feelings of pain just below my ribs which literally feels like 'love is exploding out of me'. It sounds crazy but i dont know how to explain it. It feels like i have too much 'love'.

Even when we have sex we don't feel close enough. Even when he is holding me as close as we can be it is not enough. I want him to be inside me like i am a jumper and he is wearing me (?) I dont know what to do. It is freaking me out.

It is making me feel anxious. I have had mood swings before but this feels so much more intense than my other 3 pregnancies. Plus i have never fixated on dh in pregnancy before.?

We have a good relationship.

Has anyone else experienced this? I actually feel like i could explode and it is very physical feeling. Not in my head at all but in my fingertips and especially my core. It feels so real. I dont know how to articulate it.

Should i tell my midwife? What would i even say? I feel crazy.

My hormones went nuts when I was pregnant- for me I wanted to have sex all the time. I think its normal - just roll with it.

I had this and it carried on for as long as I was breastfeeding too. So much oxytocin.

It makes perfect sense from a biological point of view.

Because you’re pregnant. They’ll be some kind of evolutionary hangover that means we’re more enamoured with our partner when we’re pregnant and less capable - so they hunt for us and ward of tigers.
