Emotions all over the place

So I have been feeling down lately with my current pregnancy.
I am 27 years old, had my first child (DS) when I was 24 and was thrilled, and now I am having mixed feelings about this pregnancy.

My OH and I have talked about having more children before, and of course, I was all onboard but now that I am pregnant, my mind is all over the place. Maybe I was not expecting to be pregnant so soon?

I have talked about this with my OH and I feel like he doesn't quite understand where I am coming from, he tries to understand but I feel like he thinks I am just all in my emotions.

I am currently 5 weeks pregnant and no one knows about the pregnancy besides us two, we were waiting until my 1st ultrasound to start announcing it to close family members. And I am just in a whirlwind.

I feel like I should be more excited and thrilled, and rather I am just crying and stressing more than anything.
My current job is very stressful and my OH is still finishing up his degree. I feel like we aren't ready, but we were no where near ready for our first child and I was still over the moon about that pregnancy.

Has anyone gone through this or is going through this right now?
I wanted to reach out to see how other MN cope with feeling like this

I've been feeling the same, I'm 27 and this is my first pregnancy. I came off contraception so it was all planned and thought through. Now I'm here (13 weeks) I feel like there is a impending doom feeling. I have the scans and I feel excited, and most days I feel excited. But some days I find it really overwhelming and scary. Before coming off contraception we discussed finances/ property/ work etc and we had logical plans. Now for some reason I feel like nothing at all is going to work.

I've been taking it out on my OH and asking him to give me space etc which he has taken badly, which I do understand why. As he feels we should be closer then ever. Xx
