In my first pregnancy, I was so depressed I ended up on suicide watch in the hospital. Apparently, after I had been put on the anesthesia for my c section, I told the nurse that I had been waiting for this baby to be born for for months so that u could finally kill myself. This time, they have me on zoloft. It's risky, but I'm already fighting off the depression. Ask your doctor about some medication. You don't have to fight this alone

I've been suffering with it ever since I had my first child over 3 years ago. I was on medication but not now since I'm pregnant again. It's off and on now. Make sure you talk to your doctor about it to see what your options are.
