Underwhelmed

Hey guys, just needing to vent really and looking for some reassurance.

Currently 8 weeks pregnant and have completely stopped taking my anti depressants due to fear of harming the baby. It's now been roughly 4 weeks since I stopped them and I can feel the depression and anxiety creeping in. I'm so low and extremely anxious about becoming a parent and delivering a baby. When did everyone else start getting excited? Am I feeling so underwhelmed and low because of the depression or is this relatively normal? This baby was planned and is wanted, but I constantly feel like I'm questioning my decision which makes me feel terrible as i have experienced a MC before. I mentioned the depression to my midwife today and we've booked in for me to start therapy so hopefully that helps. Did anyone else have these feelings?
