depression during pregnancy

Here lately I've been super stressed. Like. To the max. My whole baby shower, getting nervous about delivery, me and my boyfriend fighting and trying to get the nursery set up. I've been having these thoughts here lately that I'm not proud of, and it's like I have no control whatsoever. I feel like I'm constantly fighting with myself. If I'm driving down the road, sometimes I think "oh I wish I would wreck" or whatever. And I'm just like where the hell did that come from? I don't want to wreck, I don't want to get hurt, I don't want my baby to get hurt, ect. This isn't me. And frankly, it's starting to scare me as to why I'm having these thoughts. I'm scared it's depression and I haven't told my mom. I don't want her to worry. I would never ever ever hurt myself or anyone else. I'm scared if I mention it to my doctor, they'll take my baby when it's born. I don't know what to do. I love my baby. And I love my life. Could it just be hormones?

just tell our doctor you believe you are sufferin from depression and anxiety, they wont take your baby just dont go in and say you want to hurt the baby but DO tell them about the thoughts of hurting yourseelf. If you are suffering from depression now that puts you at a higher risk of post partum depression after the baby is born and that is a very serious thing, women hurt their children occasionally when they are suffering from this disease so please talk to your doctor now and get a hold on it. Im here if you need someone to talk 2 I have a long history of depression and sadly 2 suicide attempts so I can understand. But please talk 2 someone b4 u do like I did, your baby needs you there for her/him
