Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You should meet a psychiatrist and clinical psychologist to get treated for depression. I will advice you to get better and then talk about your sexual abuse with husband in right frame of mind. Cognitive behavior therapy at 5 month of pregnancy is found effective. Do not delay as it will affect you and your child health.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
