In 30 days only as I don't want to be reminded of this down the line or have it stick around

I have never felt like this. I'm nearing end of pregnancy with first very much wanted baby.

I have been diagnosed with Cholestasis and Pre -eclampsia, both of which carry higher risk of complications and still birth.

I'm doing everything I can for my baby and attending all monitoring appts and check ups but my mental health is falling apart

I'm convinced I won't get to bring home a living baby and that the best thing to do after that is to kill myself. I'm so scared because I've never had trouble with mental
Health previously or felt like this.
When I'm having these thoughts I don't feel frantic or panicky just really calm, like it's just the next logical step to take.
I'm trying not to think like this but I dream it every night and it creeps in during the day too.
I'm not really sure who to talk to, my partner has been amazing but is so worried about me and baby anyway and working hard to save up money before paternity leave. I don't want to burden him.
The health visitor asked if I ever felt down or depressed but I didn't feel able to answer when asked so bluntly and in front of DH

I just don't know what to do anymore Sad

Hello OP, we are really sorry to hear you are feeling this way.

We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health resources. You can also go to the Samaritans website or email them on [email protected]. Support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek RL help and support as well.

We also like to remind everyone that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.

We are going to move this thread to the Mental Health section shortly.
