I’m 12 weeks and I don’t know what to do. HG is crippling, I’m exhausted and have other multiple worries. Wasn’t a planned pregnancy (had norovirus whilst on mini pill so that’s been something to come to terms with)
Possible problems with placenta
Issues financially so things are difficult
Currently have flu and no support or help so 2 y o still in pjs and watching the iPad and eating toast and I feel like a bad mother

I have an appt this week should i ask to see a specialist midwife as I feel really depressed or will this cause issues I don’t want to have my baby taken off me if they think I can’t cope

Sorry to hear you are going through this. Definitely ask for help from the midwife. It sounds like you have plenty of reasons to feel stressed. A 2 year old eating toast in his pjs and watching the ipad is hardly being a bad mother. No one is going to consider taking a child away for what you have said in your post, please do ask for the support and I hope things get better. Pregnancy is tough, I'm sure you can get through it.
