Feeling depressed.

So I'm a ftm and am 9 weeks pregnant. I've always worried about my weight so it's hard just letting go and eating normal again. Also I feel so alone and bored all the time. I feel like my summer is pretty much ruined due to not getting to do any of the activities I usually do such as going to the theme park, 4 wheeling, and hanging at the lake ( the sun makes me feel sick and I get to hot now). I also don't feel connected to my baby yet :( Non of my good friends are mom's so I'm just kinda the loaner now. I guess I'm just in a depressing mood tonight.

I've always wondered if I've had a mild form of depression but never went to the doctor over it. I'm afraid it will get worse and I'm also worried about post partum depression. I went out last night to eat for a friend of 19+ years birthday partyu. It was horrible. She was all about drinking and even mentioned sneaking alcohol into my drink without me knowing!! She was also making a big deal about being pregnant and keeps telling me  going to ger fat. 1) I started out as 5'6 and 138lbs which was a healthy weight. I've gained 4 lbs.  She on the other hand is like 5'4 and weighs around 170 (she's never had any kids). I feel like she has no right to make a big deal out of my weight. She's the friend I've had the longest but I really think me being pregnant and having kids is going to be the end of the relationship

It seemed before I got pregnant I had so many friends and was always out having fun but since I've gotten pregnant no one seems to be here.. I have been diagnosed with depression the only thing I can say is when it starts to cool down during the day you should go for a walk it helps a lot (:

None of my friends are moms either.  They are a lot younger though. I wasn't connected to my baby for a long time. I would think bad thoughts and cry all the time. It gets sooo much better when you actually can feel your baby move. But when I was depressed in the begining,  I wrote my feelings down and also talked to my husband.  It helpped. I love my baby so much now and talk to it all the time.
