Prenatal depression?

I'm 13 weeks with my first and I'm worried about prenatal depression. I'm not excited or bonding with my little bump. My DH is more excited and emotional about this than I am. And it makes me feel guilty. I've always had touchy mental health. Anxiety and depression. Now stress from work has gotten to me to (I'm a support worker for autistic adults with challenging behaviour). I've had incidents where the residents have attacked me (since being pregnant) and my managers way around it is to lock me in the office to do admin work for 8 hours a day. But none of the work I do is good enough for her and she always tells me I'm not good enough.

Basically everything is adding up. And I don't want to talk to my DH or my family. About it incase they worry or think I'm crazy :(

Anyone felt like this before? How did you deal with it? Thanks in advance xx

No personal experience but i would say dont bottle it up. You need to speak to someone.

Have work done a risk assessment?

I would definitely try to let your DH in and perhaps speak to your MW too

Could be prenatal depression, or simply an accumulation of the various stressors making you feel rubbish. Talk to someone, keeping it all in will make you feel worse.
