please tell me this is normal. i went through a bout of depression for a little over a week. now all seems fine but i feel it creeing up on me again. what to do. this is my first pregnancy so i am unfamliar with all of this.
 
It is quite normal to have emotional ups and downs in pregnancy, it's due to the ever changing hormones and all the other things that are happening to your body.

Today I've cried and I have no idea why as I've had a good week but I just couldn't help it.

The thing to be careful about is whether you're just having the normal ups and downs or if you really are getting depressed. It is known that as well as post natal depression you can get depression during your pregnancy, so if you don't perk up after a few days I'd speak to your doc/midwife about it.
