depression durinng pregnancy normal??

Ok so ive finally came to the conclusion i have depression with this pregnancy im 12weeks 5days! Also a ftm. Long story short, i would sometimes think that when my baby comes along that i wont be able to cope, and would think i have i made the biggest mistake ever keeping the baby?! And what if i dont love my baby!? Im also sooo angry at my babys daddy for leaving and not giving a **** about me or his unborn child. I constantly cry and dont wanna get up out of bed. i know il have to look after the baby and dont get me wrong i want this baby and i will try my best but i just cant seem to shake of these negative thoughts about everything. I just cant seem to take my mums advice and im not sure  if i should go to my doctor and talk to him about how im feeling or just wait to see if my emotions passes?

Talk to your doctor hun. I have chronic depression so it's always on and off at random times and it *****. Your doctor can help you because it can get worse if left untreated. Sorry about your sperm donor though. You'll love that baby trust me and all that baby needs is your love, nurture, and care hun

We have a similar situation and I already have deep depression before I became pregnant its something you should mention to your doctor as well because you might can find ways to relive the built up stress / anger or try to hang out with close friends or family that helps me a lot I hope things get better for you because I'm sure you'll be a wonderful mother
