Im 4 months along and honestly feeling very low these days, crying for no reason. Worried if my mood is somehow affecting the baccha inside. Anyone else felt like this during pregnancy?

I went through deep sadness during my pregnancy and felt so guilty. Your feelings are valid, but please seek help because taking care of your mind is just as important as your body.
