Depression

So to give a little background I'm 12+5 with baby #2. I haven't had any complications. I also have an 8 month old son. Good jobs, loving supportive husband. My son is a dream to take care of, hardly ever cries, sleeps 8-8. With my first pregnancy I had little boughts of depression granted but maybe like a day. This pregnancy I just feel it getting worse and worse every day. I honestly have no valid reason to be depressed. I know obviously it's hormones, but I get so lonely and sad sometimes that I just sob uncontrollably. I'm getting a little worried and have absolutely no experience with this and I'm just wondering if this is something I need to bring to my OBGYNS attention or what steps would be taken?

I've also tried occupying my time obviously with reading, baths, crochet etc. Nothing helps.

Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

I agree.  Do talk to your Dr. And your husband about it. It's a totally normal thing but one that can spiral out of control.

You need to bring this up. Depression is a serious thing that shouldn't be taken lightly.
