Those are... pretty common in pregnancy. Hormones are messing with her, intimacy can be less than consistent, you're both having to adapt logistically and mentally to life becoming very different on the horizon. It can throw things out of whack, and make it feel like you're in a very bad place... but that is going to change. It's no different than when you get sick, or when she has a period, or if either of you has gotten a bad sleep for several days in a row- it's just a temporary condition that makes everything in life feel harder than it really is. (It's just that it lasts a little longer with a pregnancy). But just like with each of those times, things will get back to normal, the thing temporarily making everything feel like crap will fade away, and your relationship will be as strong as it ever was; it's just a matter of being patient with each-other through the time when changes both physical and mental are throwing you both out of whack. But believe me, it's not you, it's not her; it's the pregnancy. Which
will be over eventually, and which
will be worth the rough times it inevitably conjures up. Right now, it may feel like your relationship is on the rocks- it certainly has for my wife and I with both pregnancies- but once this pregnancy has run its course and there's a little time for recovery, everything's going to look a lot different (and a lot better).

The grace of God is a greater gift than we can truly fathom; undeserved mercy is a kindness humbling in its sheer scope.
