looking for advice.

I've suffered with depression for a while, it's under control now and I personally feel that I am much better in myself and recovering fast and well. 
Me and my partner are talking about starting to try to conceive, he is worried about the depression as he has read up that it is possible to pass on depression to the unborn baby and cause health issues in the long run. 
As well as other issues such as me developing postnatal depression would be more likely due to already having depression, although im a lot better. 
I'm just looking for opinions and advice really?
