Posting on behave of my cousin.
She’s 19, been with her partner since they were 14. She had a difficult childhood and suffered with her mental heath through ages of 13 till last year.
She doesn’t self harm anymore. But had some serious amount of scarring to her arms and thighs.
They are both happy to be pregnant, she has her first midwife appointment on Friday and is nervous she’ll “get in trouble” or be looked down upon once the midwife notices she used to self harm.
I don’t have answers as Iv never been in the same situation as her.
Any reassuring advice I can give her?
