So depressed

I'm 29 weeks today and my mood is so low. I just want to cry. This is my first baby and it wasnt planned. I even had the morning after pill. I'm very lucky to have a supportive husband but I cant help feeling so anxious and depressed. I should be over the moon. We did want children just not yet.
Pregnancy isn't the wonderful experience I'd always imagined.  I'm finding it difficult and debilitating. But I do want this baby. I'm just scared.

I don't know how to improve my mood or way of thinking.  I really am in a bad place and I feel selfish for feeling low. I'm pathetic

I think work is stressing me the most and taking my attentions up. Physical pregnancy symptomts slow me down.

Then thinking will I love my baby, will it be ok and healthy. Will our lifestyles adjust ect xx

its a big change and that's scary but I assure you that its the best thing that ever happened to me. I have a 4 year old and I LOVE waking up to her every morning its the best! Her smiles, laughter just bring so much joy to my life.
