  1. Hello, please can anyone help me I am 7 months pregnant and having first child. I havd had OCD on and off for a while. It started out as contamination fears of HIV but as I got older became centered around fears of child abuse.I wanted to be a teacher and couldn't because of the fear. I was treated for OCD privately and recovered and became a teacher and all good. But when I got pregnant it came back. Went to doctor and psychiatrist and everyone as was so so desperate, they all said OCD and refered me for counselling. Anyway I mentioned my OCD to a midwife who wasnt really lsitening and didn't ask me anything about it or mention it ever again. Then I got a call from social services saying I had been referred as worried about me harming baby. I tried to explain it was OCD and she just kept syaing yes well I will come and see you anyway. I feel like my world has crashed in and everything is destroyed including all the hard work and progress I had been making. She is coming tomorrow and I am so angry and upset and feel so p****d off and frightened. I simply don't know what to do or where to turn to. Just keep thinking will have baby then kill myself.
