Hi Leah,
I have only one thing to add to Leonardo's response: If you suffer chronic major depression, you have a tremendous risk for post-partum depression as well. Make sure you have someone lined up to care for **you** for several months after delivery if needed (family?). This happened to a friend; his wife needed 9 months following delivery to recover. Mom, dad, and baby are all fine -- it just took time, patience, and the extra care of their families. Don't be afraid -- just be prepared.
Good luck and CONGRATULATIONS!
Ted
