I had a few bouts where I would cry and almost didnt know why sometimes. Modern Family, the TV show, helps.
It is hard finding people to talk to when pregnant, I feel like in person if you talk too much about being pregnant people start rolling their eyes or thinking you want a pity party. Well you deserve a pity party sometimes so go ahead and have one. Have some hot chocolate and watch a funny show.

Sorry I just re-read what I wrote. I didn't mean like an unwarranted pity party. There's so much changing in life right now. I tried to have my funny show and treat time so I could figure out what I needed to say and express and what was just a bit of getting lost in the moment upsetness. Def talk to your husband and let him know what your fears or concerns are. Even if he makes jokes keep pressing him a bit if you're not satisfied with the answers. If you address your concerns now, even if they seem a bit out of left field to your husband, it will be smoother sailing after baby gets here.

Yes, there is definitely such a thing as prenatal depression!
I had a pretty miserable pregnancy from the get-go, but it got really bad towards the end of the third trimester, to the point where my OB actually put me on anti-depressants (Zoloft).
I felt exhausted, unmotivated, and just incredibly, incredibly sad... and also would get mad at DH (who was objectively a total saint during my pregnancy- he did EVERYTHING and then some) for totally irrational reasons (sometimes I even realized I was being irrational but I couldn't help it). I would also often cry in the middle of the night, feeling sad and alone but not really knowing what to do about it, and I'd go do it in the guest room or the bathroom so I wouldn't wake DH up.
Two things really helped for me: first, I took two weeks entirely off work, and then only went back part-time for the last couple weeks before I delivered. Not having work stuff hanging over my head, making me feel overwhelmed, was really important for me and helped me feel less panicked. I think I spent most of those two weeks just in bed, catching up on rest.
The second thing that helped was giving birth. I was totally worried about PPD, but I luckily had a great support system after having the baby, and was off work for 9 weeks, and I was actually totally fine. I was grateful to not feel nauseous all the time, I had people around almost all the time (DH took off 3 weeks and my mom was around a lot) so I didn't feel lonely, and I think my hormones must have calmed down.
I really, really encourage you to talk to your DH and your OB about it. It's great that your DH is already doing so much- to me, that sounds like he's already in "being supportive" mode, and will be more than ready and willing to support you through these additional challenges.
I kept feeling like I SHOULD have been able to handle everything, and that plenty of women go through pregnancy just fine, and that I should just shut up and deal, but I think you have to remember that during pregnancy you are so totally and completely hostage to the craziness that is going on with your body that sometimes there is nothing you can do about how you feel and how you're coping. And that everyone's experience is different and just because Michele in the office next door thought pregnancy was awesome, it doesn't mean that you're just being melodramatic. And that sometimes you need external forces to step in and help get you through it.
My DH was the one who finally said "this is not ok" and brought me to my OB to talk about it, and both of them helped brainstorm ideas of how to alleviate some of the things that were stressing me out and come up with suggestions of things that might help. (For example, it was my OB who said "I'm prescribing two weeks off work, here's the documentation for your office," which is something I wouldn't have considered on my own but made a huge difference)
I don't want to write a huge essay here, but please know that you are NOT alone in this, and that the best thing you can do is reach out to your support system (DH, your OB, etc.) and they will help you!
