Hello all,

I'm new to this and this will be my first post so please bare with me Halo

I am currently 27 weeks pregnant with my daughter and this is my first pregnancy.

I moved to folkestone from London to start a fresh, where I met my partner and was completely happy with my new life down there. In march this year I found out that I was pregnant, and from the very beginning the whole thing was a very big struggle and an emotional time for the both of us. As I was staying with my dad down there and with us having no where to live with the baby I had to make the hardest decision of my life and move back to London without him.

My partner and I found it so difficult with the distance between us, we argued and argued and didn't speak for months. I have struggled so much with this pregnancy and doing it by myself, and have previous history of severe depression. However recently we have gotten back in touch and he has said that he wants to make long distance work, and come up once a week when she's born and try and keep our relationship going not only for her sake but for ours. I feel broken and can't stop crying, I feel like I really want this to work between us but I need him here with me. I need his support and him around before and after she's born and it's absolutely killing me. Is there anyone out there that's been through something similar?

Thanks.
