I was very unwell during my pregnancy and spent most of it in psych hospitals, but even then, all that happened was that I was made to have an induction on my due date, so I couldn't go into labour randomly and went to a mother and baby psych unit. I'm unsure why they didn't do that here.
Social services are incredibly panicky, they have been since Baby P. Since then, the number of children taken into care has gone into the 10,000s for the first time ever and the children to get taken for the most ridiculous reasons. Guilty until proven innocent.
I could go on for a while about this, cases I've seen and heard about through the contact centres but I won't.
Social services are a mess. I will leave it at that.
