This can be normal during pregnancy because of increased hormonal activity in your body, BUT I would encourage you to speak to your doctor about this. Postpartum depression isn't always postpartum and can begin during pregnancy. Depression is a form of mental illness that always needs addressing. If you're constantly feeling sad, guilty, loss of hopefulness and drive I would seek medical consultation about this.
