Pregnancy doubts

Has anyone had pregnancy doubts? I've been with my partner 6 months and found out last month I'm pregnant. I've never been in this position before as I'm very much a planner and I was single 4 years before him because I wouldn't settle or commit unless I was in 100%. Whilst I know he's my everything and I've never had a relationship like this before, I can't help feel overwhelmed because it wasn't planned.
My thought process is be with someone for a few years, get married then have children which I know is a very backwards way to feel. I feel like everything is rushed and I want things to slow down.
The nearer I get to having to go through with it is scaring me. I lost 7 stone in 2019/2020 and came off my implant around Feb this year because I'd been on it 9 years and thought it might help to lose the extra 3 stone. So I have some feelings towards that, where il put on weight again that I worked so hard to lose.
I still live with my parents at 30 ( I know ) so the plan would be to move in with my partner and his disabled mum as he has the room. So I just feel everything is happening all at once.
There's the small part of me that thinks things happen for a reason and this could be everything but at the same time I'm just not sure I'm ready.
Anyones take on this would be much appreciated. I'm 8 weeks this weekend.

I am expecting my third, I have found with each pregnancy planned or not prior to 12 weeks I had this immense doubt as to whether I could do it/really wanted it, was I making a mistake etc so whilst I think this is totally normal everyone is different. Sorry I can’t be of much help but hope that it reassures you a little xx
