Worried mommyy to be

Hello
Just wondering if anyone else had issues with anxiety and depression while they were pregnant? It seems that once I hit the half way mark in my pregnancy my anxiety has sky rocketed, and it seems as if my depression is creeping back up on me as well. Im having worried thoughts, usually at night time and its making it hard to sleep. I cant help but wonder if something is wrong with my baby, even though everything has gone smoothly so far. Its so hard to talk about this with family, because they dont really understand the way my mind works, I dont even know the way my mind works, or why it works this way. I have finally managed to quit smoking, which was very hard for me to do. It was my crutch in the past and I used my cigarettes as a way to calm myself. Its been a week since I quit, so I know I am still dealing with the emotional withdrawal of them, and the physical withdrawal as well. Also, the father of my baby who has been pretty much non existant throughout the course of my pregnancy has had a change of heart, and now wants to be a part of the babies life. This came as a surprise to me, but I am having a hard time trusting him considering the way he reacted to my pregnancy. Anyways, those are my two main stress factors right now and im having a hard time dealing
