Scared about post natal depression

Hi I'm 36 and have suffered depression and anxiety on and off from the age of 14-30. I sometimes think it was due to the situations I was in.. As It has been better the last 5 years for me. I also found medication didn't help me, sometimes I feel maybe I didn't give it enough time to work I'm impatient..

Anyway I'm 16 weeks today. I am so worried that after my baby is here, I'll start to feel rubbish again :( At the moment I feel great, apart from usual pregnancy stuff.

I was thinking of asking my doctor to have some anti depressants ready to go at home and to start taking them as soon as the baby is here..

Did you bring up how you feel at your 10 week booking appointment? What feedback did you get?
