Changing industries and jobs will not make you happier. Industries and jobs don't make people happy, the underlying intrinsic value they receive from doing things makes them happy. You need to figure out what you do that brings joy to your life and focus your attentions on that. Once you are finding more satisfaction or joy in those parts of your life, your work life will follow. You don't sound like you are all that attached to your career, so that is more of a means to an end. Determine what that "end" is and focus on that. As GG said, the weight of having a child at this time in your life is probably adding to your mental state and dissatisfaction so now may not be the best time to be making life altering decisions. Make big changes when you are most stable, not when you're down.
