Oh honey. That is not good. I know you don't want everyone to know but honestly that is the least of your worries. Especially with you being pregnant, now is the perfect time to be selfish. Depression is a serious illness, not a choice. You need to think about the safety of you and baby before anyone else. And with you being 19, (at least that's how it is where I live) if you change your mind during the program, you can sign yourself out. And the one I went to, they told me the first day that I can refuse to go to classes, I can refuse to eat, I can refuse to participate in group activities, but since im there I might as well go because I would benefit from it, otherwise what's the point? They will probably do one on one counseling as well and may try a medication for you. But you have to be honest with them.

In my opinion I think you should tell your doctor everything get help now before baby comes because the lack of sleep and everything else can pile onto the stress someone has yo be strong for you and keeping it bottled up inside only makes it worse think of that beautiful baby growing inside you he/she needs a healthy mommy...
