Worried that my husband is slipping into depression

Hi ladies,

I am currently 18 weeks pregnant and my husband in the past two weeks has begun to have depressive episodes. I have read that this can be brought on by pending fatherhood but I am not sure what to do.

My husband is typically very outgoing, funny, and strong but lately he has been having these spells where he can’t help but cry and it seems to just come on randomly and overtake him. He is already making an appointment with a doctor, but I am looking for any advice.
