I was really depressed the first week I was home with my daughter. I cried A LOT. If you think your at risk for post partum depression there's always people you can talk to. Being nervous and scared are all normal feelings. Even feeling sad at first when baby is born is normal. Your hormones are gonna go crazy, but after a couple weeks they'll even out

Im 24 wks and im going through the exact same thing. Anxiety attacks, idk if im happy or sad, i feel like im bipolar but i know im not. Its just your pregnancy moodswings. Horomones are really getting to you but dont let it win sweetie.  I felt like this with every pregnancy and after i had my babies, i felt really happy that i actually gave my baby life. After you have your baby, see it as an accomplishment that only a woman can do cuz no man can handle HAVING a baby...and be proud of yourself for that. Look at your baby when your feeling sad and he or she will pick u right back up. Like i said, dont let it win :-)   Im a young mom (22)  of 2 and going on 3 in dec. And i was scared cuz of ppdepression cuz of the pressure and lectures from my fam but i got myself through it. Be strong for your baby,k. Good luck sweetie.
