Perhaps: Studies show that babies of women who are depressed do better when the mom's are treated during pregnancy. You should speak with your physician and consider either therapy or medication or both.

Consider meditation: You could consider taking a meditation or mindfulness based stress reduction course. Learning these skills will help you deal with anxiety in a non-pharmacologic way. You can also continue these practices far beyond your pregnancy, and it will help your whole life.
