I think I’m depressed

I think I’m depressed. It’s rare that I’m happy anymore. I don’t have the will to do anything. The only time I get anything done is because I know my daughter (17 months) needs it. I cry very often. I’m also home alone a lot. My husband works long hours and just recently quit his second job. I’m also 32 weeks pregnant and basically on bed rest. Which is killing me in itself because I’m a very active person. But I have a low lying placenta and severe pelvic pain anytime I do anything. I have to spend most days on the couch because the more I do, the more I hurt. I just feel so lonesome and sad all the time. I’ll catch my self crying for random reasons at random points in the day. I feel like when I’m “happy” it’s mostly so the people around won’t feel awkward. But I don’t feel like I can talk to my husband, mom, best friend, or even my dr about it because it will just be shrugged off as pregnancy hormones.

I get so mad when I think about it because I don’t feel like I should feel this way. I’m married to an amazing man, we just bought our first home together, we have a beautiful little girl and in 8 weeks or less will welcome another baby girl. And we have all these exciting things to look forward too like a small baby moon, the baby shower, my best friend coming to stay 5 days with me, one last ultrasound, and preparing our nursery.

I guess what I’m looking for is could this honestly be just pregnancy hormones mixed with my situation? I have felt this way for at least the past two months. Or should I ignore myself and tell the dr? My dr is great. I love her and she has always listened to my concerns. I just feel like when your pregnant, a lot of stuff gets overlooked because of it. Has anyone else experienced this during pregnancy and then it went away after birth?
