During pregnancy, hormonal changes, other physical changes and ongoing stress from work / family / personal issues can affect your mood and make you feel overwhelmed. Reach out to let your family and friends know how you're feeling, what kind of support you need. Occasional bad days are normal, but if you find that you have poor mood lasting throughout the day for more than 2 weeks, it's best to speak to your doctor or at least seek support from a counsellor. statistically, being stressed during pregnancy is one of the risk factors for postnatal depression. But whether you will really have it or not depends on many other factors too. I would recommend dealing with what you're facing now, one step at a time.
