I can't stand my partner anymore

Hi guys. Please tell me I'm not alone, I am 9 weeks pregnant and since about week 6 I can't stand my OH and I mean I don't want him near me, he makes me feel physically sick even by looking at him, I have even asked him to move out and it feels like a massive relief to just be on my own.
I'm doubting I love him anymore and I can't see a future. This is the worst & scariest feeling as before the pregnancy it seemed to be fine.
He's a lovely guy, supportive & will do anything for me but this seems to make me feel even more hatred for him. I realise how mean & awful this sounds but I can't seem to control this feeling :(.
Has anyone else had this, is this hormones or have I just fallen out of love at the worst time?!

This sounds hormonal, for it to happen all of a sudden and he hasn't done anything? Maybe worth speaking to your gp or midwife Daffodil

If his behaviour hasn’t changed and things were good before it sounds like a hormonal reaction. You may find it gets better after 12 weeks as things settle down anyway, but I would speak to your midwife about it in case they can recommend anything Flowers

I second PPs, speak to your GP or midwife. Pregnancy hormones do wild things to you, both physically and mentally, but the feelings are temporary (if hormone related). I wouldn't write off a relationship before finding out for sure.

I hated my partner throughout my first and second trimester in my first pregnancy. I wasn't very good at hiding it so we had a pretty shit few months together. It all subsided after giving birth thankfully.

As much as it's horrible I don't think it's that unusual because of your hormones being all over the place. If you used to have a good relationship then it might be worth explaining to him it's the pregnancy and that it will pass.

Thank you everyone, my midwife said oh I've never heard of that so that was( not) reassuring.
I've booked a doctors appointment to see what they say as my mood is generally pretty low too right now. Hopefully they will be able to shed some light on this! Confused
