How do I tell perinatal how I'm feeling?

[finallyitshapoen]

I'm pregnant and really scared.

I don't have much in the form of support. Money wise I'm ok short term (five years) and have my own house etc.

I'm under perinatal as I've got existing MH issues.

I'm not taking medication because it honestly doesn't work for me.

Perinatal want me to tell them what help I need.

I really don't know.

I just feel like everyone is thinking I should abort to make everyone's life easier. It would have been easy for me to get an abortion, because no one cares.

I'm worried and thinking maybe I should have adoption. My mum just doesn't respond to my messages and dad will support whatever.

You don't have to have MH issues to be scared when pregnant. What you are feeling is very likely what many expectant mothers feel. Don't feel afraid to tell them of your concerns.

I didn't have a clue with my first child I literally winged it. Go to antenatal classes if they are available. Join a local FB group if you have one for expectant mothers so you can grow your support circle in the way of friends.

Is there anything you are particularly worried about or any questions you want to ask that you are not sure of? Do you have a partner that will support you?
