Pregnant and partner is on bail
Notifications OFF
This is so tough to write and I've read through all sorts of stories but none seem to answer the questions I've got in my head.
Partner got arrested and is being investigated for possession of 1 cat c image, we've been told this will take a long time to investigate. It feels like our lives are over, it's all ruined.
I'm currently pregnant, have around 4 months until my baby is born. Everyone keeps telling me my partner won't be able to be present for birth and to help me when the baby is born, it seems like I'm going to be completely alone with a new born baby with no help. His bail condition state he can have contact with under 18s but with supervision.
Has anyone been through this? Will he be able to support me in the first few weeks when baby arrives? I never thought I'd be bringing up my first child without it's dad in it's life. Been a week since arrest and social services haven't even been in touch so I can't even ask them that question.

Hello!
im sorry I didn't see this earlier
I was 24 weeks pregnant when my husband was arrested. his was for 2 communication offences.
I can confirm he was able to be at the birth, never had to move out and we now have no social services involvement and he can be unsupervised with her at all times.
it did take some hard work from both of us to get to this. I'm more than happy to help you if you want to private message me.
