Can I still be a good mom if I have anxiety? I’m really worried I’ll have post partum depression and will need help during that time. Any thoughts?

It's possible you'll have PPD, but you won't know until you get there. Hopefully your partner is able and willing to take up the slack in the off chance, and if you're prepared for it- the onset of the depression- you can mitigate the worst of the symptoms. Just set yourself into a schedule that helps your baby the most and stick to it. Don't over-extend yourself or set any bar too high; just do the best you can for the day and be patient. You can get through anything if you can get through childbirth.
