Scared

[Tracey6482]

I'm scared SS will remove my baby at birth anyone have any experience with this or reasons they might do this

Why do you think that might happen? We need more info here.

More information is needed here. May I ask; Was this an odd pregnancy nightmare? Is there a reason you fear their involvement? Have you any prior experience with ss?

We have prior existence with SS they removed my other two children who are now under special gardianship with a family member we are in a much better place now SS are signed off altogether and we see them everyday and have them weekends and school holidays

How long ago were they removed? And for what reason?
You will almost definitely have them involved again for an assessment - this could end up with no involvement, a Child in Need Plan, a Child Protection Plan or Public Law Outline (pre-proceedings).
You need to work with them.

They were removed because my partner was in a really bad place with his mental health adhd and a drink problem and he was vilont when drunk and apparently I was failing to protect them but his life has turned completely around now and is a completely different person and 3 years ago they were removed

What do you mean “apparently I failed to protect them”? Surely you did fail to protect them if they were permanently removed from your care. This is the kind of insight that they will need to see when assessing you to care for this baby. I’m a social worker, and I’d be worried by that comment. Do you see now, looking back, that you should have done more? Or do you believe that them being removed was the wrong decision? What have you learnt since they were removed?

I had one social worker who advised me on what to do so I did that my partner moved out of the house and it was just me and the kids living there but with us still being in a relationship I was failing to protect them as soon as I got another social worker involved with them she decided to take me to court and have them removed i know what i should of done yes and we have done that we have addressed all of the problems that were happening and they are no longer happening but I'm worried because we are still together they will say NO

I'm just looking for people who have gone through similar situations to this and have been able to keep there baby we are in a really good place and hopefully we will get our boys back aswell as been able to keep this one

If that’s the case, then yes of course there is a possibility that baby will remain with you (likely on some kind of plan initially). As part of the assessment they will check out with other agencies, to confirm what you say, such as Police, GP etc, and you need to tell them what courses, work you have both done since your children were removed.
