Worried mum in need of advice

[Eden280913]

I'm 18 and I am currently pregnant with my second baby. For the last 7weeks I've been feeling very down and depressed. I've always been very paranoid and depression hasn't exactly been a stranger to me but lately I've been extremely low and sometimes just feeling numb. I have regular breakdowns where I just sit crying in such a mess and then I can just turn and be okay again. I need to talk to someone about it but I've just had to change doctors and don't feel comfortable talking to my new midwife or doctors yet plus I'm worried about whether I could lose my current little girl and my next one when she's born. I know I'm a great mum and I love them more than anything in the world and I know I need to get help so I can enjoy these years with them but I don't know who I can talk to? I don't have any family I can speak to and my ex partner who Is still my bestfriend doesn't quite understand the seriousness of it all. I don't want to lose my little girl she's a happy child and is not suffering for any of this as she has never seen me cry and I always put on a smile and play with her she is not neglected or anything in the slightest so is there a chance of losing her? Sorry for the long post :) no hate about young mums please because I don't care about your opinions on that :)

No hate here! You sound like you are really suffering from depression. Why would you lose your child if she's being looked after? Could it be your anxiety making you feel that?
I would urge you to confide in GP or MW. You need help and support. xx

You won't lose your little girls. The most common reason social services look into removal is for neglect and you've already said your daughter is well cared for. Depression isn't reason enough on its own so try not to worry. So many mums have depression, it's really common so don't be afraid to ask for help from your midwife or GP. It really would be good if you could get this sorted now so you're not still feeling low and struggling when your new baby is born. Good luck. :)
