Feeling clingy and vulnerable now I'm pregnant

1st baby, 1st trimester. Normally I'm independent, have my own life, don't rely on my DH to look after me or regulate my emotions. We're close but now codependent.
Since pregnancy though I feel like my brain has decided I'm in a vulnerable position and need to be looked after! I want to follow him around the house (but I don't), I worry more about him being out. Want loads of hugs. It's unsettling.
Is this normal?

I don’t think it’s normal no, I wasn’t like this and don’t know anyone who was. Do you have anxiety or something? Is something worrying you? As this is very extreme.

Um. I don't think it's very extreme! I just feel more vulnerable and want him to be around more. Not like a massive amount! I've just noticed a difference.
Not anxious.

This isn't extreme! I think it's perfectly natural. When I'm pregnant I quite often have dreams where my partner cheats on me - I'm pretty certain he isn't, it's just my brain feeling vulnerable which is natural as we are in a vulnerable position when we are pregnant. Congratulations OP!

This isn't extreme, I felt exactly the same throughout pregnancy!
