Struggling to accept an unexpected third pregnancy despite wanting another child

Hey there, looking for a little advice. I am 7 weeks today. But I've been really struggling with the fact I am pregnant. It's my third baby and I was due a Mirena fitting (a week after cycle) after coming off the pop pill which was making me very unwell. That being said me and my husband had always said if we had a third we would be happy. He's over the moon and signed up for the next chapter. I however am really struggling with the pregnancy both physically and emotionally to the point where I have considered abortion (something I don't think I could handle/want to go through). I am just very surprised by my reaction to this pregnancy. I wake up every morning angry and resentful and I'm not sure what's going on is it hormonal? Anyone else had a similar experience? I think maybe I had parked children and ended my motherhood chapter in my head 😅 Any advice anyone else been through similar? From a very tired busy 37 year old working muma.
