Hi Guys,
Im new to this and am after some advice. My partner is currently 25 weeks pregnant, she is feeling what she describes as the lowest of the low, she does suffer with depression anyway, which i know is heightened in pregnancy. I am trying my hardest to support her in every way possible (even though we don't currently live together). She keeps talking about how this pregnancy is the biggest mistake of her life. What i would like to know is, has anyone else been in this situation before and is there anything i can do to help, even though she tells me to leave her alone.

Well the only advice that I would give is to be there for her when & if she wants it.This is completely up to her & I think that you have to realistically expect that it might not be the outcome that you are hoping for.

Yer I have that feeling as well, all I want is to be there for her, I can't bear to think of her doing this alone. I just want to do everything I can for her, just to make it easier for her. Like I said I have been squeaky clean. I have read numerous stories from men who said their partners despised them throughout the pregnancy some even moving away, and then when baby arrives they get together and are stronger
