Signed off for mental health in pregnancy?

Hi all please no judgement…

I have been struggling massively with my mental health. A lot has happened in my personal life since being pregnant and I’m completely struggling to cope.

I have the option be to signed off for mental health but I don’t want this to bite me in butt when baby is born. Will this mean social services will be involved like when babies born?

I’m not going to harm myself or the baby and nor do I have a history of that. But i just don’t want to be under a microscope because I’m unstable currently…

Has anyone been signed off for mental health during pregnancy and been ok?
