Feeling emotionally strange in first trimester

I’m not sure if anyone else has done this. But I’ve really gone off my partner. It’s not necessarily his smell or anything like that. I just feel like I don’t trust him. I have really bad feeling around him and when I think about the pregnancy. I was fine before I was pregnant. We laughed, joked, had fun together. But since I’ve been pregnant I just feel really off about him. I am exhausted too if I’m honest. But I don’t think it’s to do with that. Can anyone relate?
thanks

I felt a sense of doom throughout pregnancy, that it was going to end horribly. Even after birth I thought DC wouldn't make it to age 2, for no reason. It must have been hormonal in hindsight. Ive avoided hormonal bc for years because it affects my mood. It all felt very real even though mentally I knew it was irrational, that gut feeling was so strong I had to believe it. DC is fine btw. I had no change in feelings about my partner, but I would have thought similar hormone driven feelings could attach anywhere. Worth discussing with family, friends and most importantly professionals- midwife may well have seen similar before. There are also helplines / support like PANDAS foundation that cover antenatal anxiety/depression. Best not to bottle it up, though you may feel like you want to. Best wishes.

With you OP! Went right off him and the dog (who I love dearly) it’s a horrible feeling and made me feel quite guilty

it does pass though, I’m 21 weeks now and other than him pissing me off now and then all is good. I have no idea why our bodies do it but it is a thing, very strange
