Evening all,
Thought I would update you on where we are now. For back ground, we got the knock on 20th April 2023. SS was involved due to my eldest son and contact with partner was immediately stopped. In November 2023 I discovered I was pregnant and SS backed off whilst the pregnacy developed, they became involved again once I hit approx 7 months.
My partner attended all appointments with me and was allowed to be present whilst I was in labour and in recovery. Meeting was held and risk assessments whilst i was in hospital with re gards to him havingvaccess/visitation and unfortunately all was denied so when i was then moved to a ward he was then sent home.
We were penalised as I was fighting for his parental rights which they say did not exist.
My son got to meet his dad on day 4 of his life and is still waiting for access now. We've been advised as baby is not in care he will have to pay for visits and are looking at £95 an hour for supervised contact. My eldest has not seen him since the arrest due to his autism and ss concerns that he's not been able to verbalise anything with regards to the concerns.
We have been told that the case has now gone to CPS... I'm not sure how much more I can cope with.
Any comments/advice?
Thank you for reading x

Hi
Not much advise but I want you to know you aren't alone. I too had a baby boy in the midst of it all. In my case LA issued proceedings with the birth of the baby and attempted to remove my baby from my care, into foster care, then for adoption!

Hi,
I hope your birth went as well as it could have.
I also had the knock last Jun, found out I was pregnant in Jul (after being told from I could never have children after number of test for 19 years).
So of course I was always going to keep my little miracle.
I found it so hard being pregnant as I have health issues and that was my main focus most my pregnancy, as well as keeping in contact with police for updates etc.
I felt like me and my ex were getting better I.e. the lying and trauma it all brought to me, but heck was I wrong as 3 weeks ago he was re arrested and no longer allowed to see me or my LG due to further issues of iioc.
Anyway just wanted to tell you, that I know how much of struggle bringing up a baby alone is, but you are never really alone. Whether people know what's happening or not there is many people around to talk to etc.
I have found reading and engaging on here very supportive for my own sanity and mental health, so keep talking and getting it out your head the less it festers the better you will feel.
Anyway as said i just wanted to say hi, and let you know your not alone (none of us ever asked for this, but there is support and people's hearts in the right place on this forum and I a very grateful to be told about it.)
Good luck with everything.
