sick of the depression

So ive posted on here before with the problems of my babydaddy but it seems to just get worse. It hurts still being in love with the man but now hes dating the woman he cheated on me with. Im 23 weeks for it seems that no matter what i do...how happy i try to be its just one blpw after another. I have been diagnosed with clinical depression a long time ago and was on prozac before i got pregnant but went off them abruptly when i found out i was pregnant. Hes pretty much nonexistent but the times we would talk or when he would come to the 3appts that he was actually at i would ask if he was seeing, dating, talking to anyone else .....it was always no no no....so i foubd he has been lying to me for who knows how long and i am just so torn up about how he doesn't care how he efdects me and in turn effects the baby. I dont understand men like that. How can u say u care about your son when all u do is prove everyday that

It is possible for a guy to care about his baby without caring for the baby's mother.  Please don't take his lack of interest in you and your medical issues with the pregnancy as being a lack of interest in the baby.  Time will tell about whether he cares for the baby, once it is born, but reserve your judgment on that question -- you sound like you think if he doesn't go with you to your medical appointments, he is going to automatically be a bad dad.  Not necessarily true, a lot of guys find pregnancy medical  appointments uninteresting.

Please don't make the mistake of hoping the baby will make him care more for you, you'll just stress yourself out further over him if you set up such expectations in your mind and they are dashed.  It's obviously not happening for him and you, he has moved on, relationship-wise, whether for bad or not.  

You have a baby coming that you need to focus on and be happy for, entirely separately from the daddy and his issues, who you should try to forget about a relationship with.  Sorry, but that is the way he's showing you it is.

....didnt finish my paragraph lol. But when all he does is prove that he doesnt wanna reapect or be considerate of thw person who is carrying the life...its like saying hmm i know theres aomething important in that jewelry box but im gonna put it on the floor and kick it around and hope that fragile important thing inside is ok when its ready to come out. All he does os put me thru this emotional rollercoaster and im sp tired of it. I told him that he knoes when my due date is and he knows my number so he can call me when the time comes. Is that ok for me to say?
I also wanna know if anyone else was on antidepresaants while they were pregnant. And if u were did they help? Im calling my dr tomorrow to see what he says. I hope he will at least refer me to a psychotherapist or something like that. Ugh help!
