Falling out of love, or is it just my hormones?

I am 12 weeks pg, and for the last 3-4 weeks I've felt like I'm falling more and more out of love with my partner, to the point where I can hardly bear to be around him anymore. He is loving, kind, caring and very excited that we are going to have a baby so I can't understand my feelings.

Prior to these new feelings towards him I felt absolutely certain that I wanted to be with him 'forever' and we talked about marriage etc.

I don't know if I am just depressed (I do have bouts of mild depression time to time) or if these are my true feelings. Maybe some time apart would help?! I don't want to hurt him.

Advise and help really appreciated as I don't have anyone else to talk to about this.

I had this during my pregnancy last year. In hindsight I recognise that I had prenatal depression; the black cloud lifted when dc arrived. My poor OH took the brunt of it at the time, we are now back to normal.

I feel the same with DH. Am also 12 weeks pregnant. I remember being the same with DC1 so I think it's hormones.
