Depression while pregnant?

I’m in my early second trimester and while I am thrilled to be pregnant and a mother, there are a few things really contributing to my mental health in a negative way. I miscarries in March and they put me on lexipro which I’m still on. It helps but I’m struggling.

I did construction so I’m no longer working. We have no other kids so I spend my days siting home staring at the walls basically. I don’t have friends and due to a hematoma I’m basically on bed rest. My husband is working extra hours on top of going to nursing school so he’s rarely around mentally even when physically, which isn’t his fault.

I just physically feel bad (constant headaches, exhaustion, and a generally uncomfortable feeling) and mentally I feel very with drawn and lost.

I’m hoping someone has some suggestions or tips for pulling myself out of this funk.
