want to stay home

I am a working mother. I have a six year old son and am 5 months pregnant. I am having all day nausea and depression. My husband told me when we got married that I would not have to work and could stay home with the children. Now here I am having to earn the majority of our income while he fools around jumping from job to job. My job is very stressful and I don't want to be there any longer. I am taking a week off trying to get my thoughts in order. The only problem is that if I quit my job we will not have any insurance. I just honestly do not know if I can go back to that place. I am not feeling well as it is and the stress has driven me to start taking antidepressants while I'm pregnant. Now, I'm worried that they might hurt the baby. I am just so tired of doing everything around the house and supporting the family. I used to be a single mother, and I thought that getting married would relieve some of that stress. Does anyone have any advice for me? I want to be positive and do what is right/ best for me and my family, but I literally feel like I am going crazy. I can not take the pressure anymore.
