Feeling so lonely

14 weeks 4 days today. Having a really down day today. My husband is having a stressful time at work and keeps just offloading on me about how busy and stressed he is. He's doing loads around the house but doesn't seem to understand it's the emotional support I actually want. I'm not sleeping well and whilst I feel pretty good and positive most of the time, I just get hit by these waves of anxiety about the baby. I just wish he could understand how I feel and offer me more support.

So sorry OP. For sure this can be an extremely stressful period for a mum to be. The anxiety is much more impacting the mother, as she is always carrying the baby. So it's non stop thinking and worrying.
On the other hand it appears your husband is doing his best and has legitimate reasons to feel stressed as well.
Maybe an open talk could help. Let him know that you support him, but the baby is the most important now. And maybe it's just too much for you right now. Also try finding support with friends and family.
Take care.
