I have an illness which is a mixture of bipolar and schizophrenia. I have had this illness for around ten years and have been in the mental health system for just as long. I claim ESA and PIP because I struggle with my illness still, and it stops me from working. I am absolutely petrified that this is going to make social services take my child away, if I am pregnant. At the moment I am unsure, but if I am pregnant I want to keep the baby. However if Social services are just going to take it away as soon as it's born I don't know if I want to put myself through that kind of heartache. The stress is making me very upset. Could anyone give me some advice? It would be very greatly appreciated.
