Feeling weepy and anxious

Hi not so much a question as just a bit of a brain dump..

36+3 weeks pregnant. As the due date gets closer I'm feeling more anxious and low. I'm guessing it's down to hormones and a new baby being uncharted territory.

For example, my husband and I got married last year, have been happily together for nearly 5 years. Recently I've been overthinking the smallest things. He's never given me cause for concern, we have a secure relationship. Last night I saw on his Instagram he had sent a message to a girl who's name I didn't recognise. I'm sure there's a reasonable and valid explanation for it but my mind is going into overdrive. He does tell me everything usually and I normally don't worry about things like this. Is it hormones at play ??

I'm totally aware it's my own insecurities and past bad experiences with previous relationships suddenly rearing their head out of nowhere,I know it's my problem and it's something I'm trying to work on in myself so please don't criticise me. I don't want to project my insecurities onto him, or ask him about it because it would be insulting to him and our trust for each other. I do trust him but it's hard not to be anxious and overthink everything.

I also feel low because I don't have a mother-type figure for support throughout pregnancy as I'm estranged from my parents. My husband is great and supportive though. But I'm just generally feeling a bit down
