Hey, I had my son when I was 18. He's 9 years old now, a healthy and happy boy.
I had a very traumatic pregnancy, I was abandoned by the father, and spent a few months homeless, just staying on people's couches.
I was severely depressed, and alone, but by some miracle, I made it through.
You shouldn't feel guilty about taking medication for depression during pregnancy. Some women's hormones get them feeling waaay out of whack during pregnancy, and it's not your fault, you cant do anything to change that.
Maybe your doctor could switch you to another anti-depressant? There are several that are safe to take during pregnancy. Also, counseling is a very good idea.
It sounds like your depression is from a chemical imbalance (not due to outside circumstances, since you seem to have love and support) which is probably due to the pregnancy hormones. Don't feel bad for having to rely on medication to cope, you can't control your body chemistry. But if your depression is severe, if you feel hopeless or suicidal in ANY way (even just as a passing thought) you owe it to yourself, and your baby, to seek help. It's not your fault that you're depressed, and it doesn't make you weak, or mean that you're not going to be a good mom. It just means you have to take care of your mental health as well as your physical health for the sake of the baby.
You will be fine in the end, although you might be at a higher risk for postpartum depression. But if you work with your doctors, and prepare for it now, you can pull through.
Good luck!
