Prenatal Depression

I’m about 7 weeks pregnant and I feel like prenatal depression is beginning. I already struggled with anxiety and depression pre-pregnancy, but stopped my meds (with doctor direction) after receiving my first positive test.
Has anyone else experienced prenatal depression? How can I differentiate between depression versus normal hormone/lifestyle shifts? I feel like if this is prenatal depression then I’m already failing my unborn child by not being the healthiest version of me for them. It scares me to take meds while pregnant because I don’t want to hurt my baby.
