If you are depressed they will probably help you find a counselor... as long as you're not suicidal that's all they will do.. if you were thinking about hurting yourself that's more serious and they will treat it differently.

I don't know what a dr would do in that situation. But depression is common in pregnancy. I hope things get better for you and wish I had better advice to give
