Social services don't want to take babies away from their family unless it is absolutely necessary for that baby's wellbeing. As you day, you were in a dangerous situation when you has your first child, you have done really well to get yourself in a better position now. Social services are just checking that you and baby are safe and you are not in danger as you are at risk due to your past. They will see how well you are doing and very likely leave you to it Smile. Congratulations on your pregnancy

Sorry about the typos, hopefully that message makes sense 🙈

They won’t take the baby if they’re sure that he or she will be safe.

The best thing you can do is to work with them in a really open and honest way to show all the changes that have happened in your life, and how you will keep on making sure you’re happy and healthy, and can provide a safe environment for the baby.

There’s a charity called Family Rights Group that advises people in your position.
