I don't want my baby

Hi probablylateagain,

We're so sorry you're going through such a difficult time.

We can see you're getting lots of good advice and support on this thread but we just wanted to add a few more links to organisations which may be able to give you some support in real life.

Your baby is still very young and you may well be experiencing postnatal depression, so we'd urge you to take a look at an organisation called PANDAS Foundation which was set up to support families through PND & AND. Their webpage is here and they have a free helpline, available Monday – Sunday 11am-10pm - 0808 1961 776. Please take a look at their website and consider giving them a call - we know they've helped many Mumsnetters in the past.

We'd also second the advice to take a look at the cry-sis website. If you click on the link you'll see they have specific advice for babies aged 3-12 months. Their helpline number is 08451 228 669 and their lines are open 7 days a week 9am-10pm.

It's also worth checking out the support available on the Gingerbread website - Gingerbread is a charity which was set up to support single parent families. There's loads of advice on their website and they can help you to meet with other single parents in your area.

Sending good wishes from all at MNHQ. We really hope things start to get a bit easier for you soon.
