It doesn't automatically mean your baby will suffer from mental health problems. The best thing you can do is get as much support for yourself as possible so you can be the best mum possible (and no mother is perfect, so don't be hard on yourself!).
If you're on meds then have you checked with your Dr whether being pregnant means they need to be changed? Also perhaps you could ask about support groups for new mums - it is always a stressful time so the more people to share your experiences with the better, especially if the dad is not very reliable.
