Depression during pregnancy

I'm 31 weeks and have been extremely depressed. I cry almost everyday, and just want to be alone a lot. I feel so terrible because I don't want my sadness to affect my baby, but I have no idea what to do to fight this depression. This is supposed to be the happiest time of my life but I'm so unhappy and miserable. I'm not asking for rude responses, I just want some help and advice to get better. I don't want to feel like this anymore and I definitely don't want this for my baby.
