So, I’m a FTM with a history of depression and anxiety. I was on medication for years before TTC, but with my doctor’s help I managed to come off medication early last year and I’ve been doing great since then. I still have low days, but they are just normal low days that come with everyday life.

Anyway, I’m due on the 18th of February, and I am so worried that I am going to develop post natal depression! As I have a history of mental health it puts me in a high risk category of getting it.

I’m really going to need the support of my family, but because of the lockdown I am not going to be able to see them. I know the rules currently say I can make a support bubble with one other household, but I don’t want to be selfish and put my baby at risk because of my mental health!

My partner only has one weeks paternity. We live in a one bedroom flat. I am already scared on what is going to happen when he goes back to work and I’m all alone, stuck inside with no family or friends around me!

Sorry for the long post. I suppose I’m just reaching out for some support and views on this from other UK Mummas. Any help on what I can do to prevent this from happening will be greatly appreciated ❤️ x
