Congratulations: Sorry to hear that it is hard for you to accept your body during pregnancy. It sounds like this pregnancy was desired since your conditions list "trying to conceive". Remember that weight gain is normal. Pregnancy is a temporary state. Having had a depressive disorder does not mean that you will develop post partum depression. But you do need to be watchful for symptoms. Be well.
