What is wrong with me?!

I’ve been with my partner for 8 years now. We have children together and I’m currently 30 weeks pregnant with our youngest.
I don’t know what has come over me but I don’t feel like I can be with him anymore because he has a past with someone else. He has a child with his ex and I have never let this bother me and I love his child, but all of a sudden it’s hurting me like crazy to know he shared all that with someone else before me. I get on well with his ex and she posted some old family photos on Facebook the other day and I felt an intense rush of jealousy/sadness.
The thought of him being intimate with his ex and him loving her makes me feel sick.

They have both moved on with their partners and I know my partner loves me completely, so I really have nothing to worry about especially after 8 years.

I hope this is just because I am pregnant and hormonal/not thinking straight, but some days I feel like I can’t cope with these feelings and I don’t want to be around my partner.

I know I am being completely out of order and self centred, but I’m really struggling at the moment Sad.

I think this is pregnancy hormones talking. I hope you get past this soon. Hugs

I felt like this while pregnant with our first. I don't have any other children of my own and dh has one daughter whom I love dearly but it still hurt.

Later and later in the pregnancy the feeling went and I don't even think about it now. LOis 6mo

I also think it's your hormones all playing up because of the pregnancy x

Yeah I suspect it is the pregnancy hormones. I never felt like this in any of my other pregnancies though.
I think my feelings are bit all over the place with this one though because I lost a baby last year and terrified of losing this one too.
