First time mom question, good idea? Anxiety.

I am expecting my first baby in July. I have always struggled with anxiety issues but had it controlled for the most part before pregnancy. Since being pregnant, I have been having severe anxiety related to keeping this little boy safe.

I am really concerned about the Post-partum period. I want to be as present with my boy as possible. I am thinking that maybe I should plan to request a temporary anxiety medication and anti-depressant to help me through what I know will be a hard time for me emotionally. I have always refused anxiety meds and have used exercise as my main outlet.
