Hi,
I found out last week I'm pregnant, not sure how many weeks. Online calculator says 6/7 weeks.
bit of back story, i have a daughter who's 9 she has high functioning autism, and I've always been a single parent.
Over those years I've had 2 miscarriages (didn't know I was pregnant with both of these) and one termination, due to my mental health at the time and feeling suicidal.
Fast forward to today, and even tho I'm not in a relationship with the father and he wants nothing to do with the baby (yet still wants to continue seeing me), I want to continue with the pregnancy. BUT i'm struggling so much, I can feel my mental health deteriorating and yesterday I was in bed all day. I suffer with anxiety, and I'm honestly terrified. I don't want a termination but I feel like my mental health with sway my decision.
I spoke to the GP this morning, and they have asked me to come in tomorrow afternoon/evening to speak in more detail.
can anybody share their own experiences, advice, how they found mental health support and how easy it is to access?
thanks
