After DD was born me and DH both went through a lot of stress with his ex. Think, saying baby should never be born etc etc level of nasty.
This resulted in both me and DH ending up depressed. Add pnd for me, i got very bad. DH ended up on antidepressants. I ended up taking an overdose. (Dd was safe with DH.) This wss when she was 6 months.
Big mistake on mu part. I can't believe how stupid i was to think that was the right thing to do.
Anyway, due to me doing that SS got involved. Met them, all went well. Report showed no ongoing concerns and just offered outside support if wanted to take on.
Five months later myself and DH are a million times better. No depression at all. Over the moon in life. Outside stressors have either minimised or completely gone. And in general we have just learned to manage it all a loy better
Dd is thriving (she was then and the report says as much)
Anyway, we decided to try for another baby. Happened pretty much straight away.
My concern is, how involved would SS be this time round, if at all? There are no concerns for my DD, or our mental health. My care worker has written me a glowing report regarding my mental health and has discharged me from the mental health team.
I'm just nervous about going to the doctors, telling them I'm pregnant and them having social services on my door again. It wad the most shameful time of my life.
