I'm pregnant, not due until end of July, with a 2 year old. My partner is a chef in a busy restaurant (granted not so busy lately).
I have some serious mental health problems and all of this is getting too much.
I am really struggling to keep calm but if I lose it, that will be me in a really bad place.
I dont have a clue what I'm supposed to be doing from one day to the next. Avoid social contact, but do go out and exercise? What about midwife appointments? My partner doesn't drive and it's a 20 minute bus journey to my nearest hospital.
What if something happens with the baby and I have to go to hospital early? They are downgrading my local maternity unit too, so any pregnancies with complications have to go even further to the city hospital, 2 hours away from me. I hope and pray for a straight forward pregnancy, like my first but what if that doesn't happen and there are no nurses or ambulances available if something bad happens to me.
His driving lessons are looking to stop soon and we are not too comfortable with him getting buses to get to them.
We were hoping he would be passed by the baby coming but this is looking unlikely. With pregnant women now being told we might have to stay at home for 12 weeks, what does my partner do? He works in one of the places that is being recommended people avoid. He's only an apprentice too so I'm worried he will lose his job if they shut down.
We live in a tourist town and theres already been talk of them closing his work for a while, due to so many cancellations at the hotel.
I'm beyond scared. My dad has heart problems and very high blood pressure problems, my mum lives in the city on her own, 2 hours away from any of her family. She has no one out there.
I can't hold it together much longer and my partner is trying to keep me calm.
Sorry, I just needed to get all my worries out
