Need advice

Hi im 20 years old and currently 28 weeks pregnant. The stress im going through is immense right now and partly my fault. Im considering suicide due to my mum passing away on the 16th of january and im not 100% if my boyfriend is the father of my child which he is aware of as he broke up with me in june 2015 and we got back together at the end of july. I feel i should talk to a doctor about whats going on but im afraid my baby will be taken from me when he or she is born because they might deem me "mentally unstable", is that a possibility? Any advice is appreiciated thank you.

Tell your doctor, they can't take your baby away, he may suggest a social worker or counsellor and will help you through the process of grieving. Don't suffer in silence, I'm sorry for your loss!

I've been having a rough pregnancy due to stress but God has been getting me through. He can comfort you and strengthen you. I hope things start getting better for you!

I'm sorry about ur loss. It ***** that u have to go through these things right now and I'm sure ur in a lot of emotional pain. U obviously care a lot about ur baby or u wouldn't care whether or not he or she was taken from u at birth. U can get help, u just need to ask for it. Prayers for u and baby.

Hi..I'm so sorry to hear what you are going through..loosing a parent is very difficult especially at this crucial time..However, sometimes we feel as though the challenges in our lives are so great that we won't be able to over come them...remember there is no challenge that is greater than God...pray to Him all the time..ask Him for strength...He will open your doors..also,think about your beautiful baby...so many of us..wish that we were 20 weeks pregnant..so you should really feel blessed...assessing appreciate all that you have..no matter how bad it may seem..stay strong...assessing nd try to see a counsellor or a phycologist..They will definitely be able to help..wishing you all the best..xxx
