      Has anyone had a baby following rape?
      I’m in the (detail removed by Moderator) trimester now and still struggling to come to terms with how i feel. I know I love baby and will do everything I can to keep them safe, happy and healthy. But I’m still worried if it’s going to effect my relationship with baby when they’re here.
      Has anyone been in this situation and would feel comfortable talking about it was for them?

      Hi Rainbowdream,

      It’s such an incredibly difficult situation to be in, it’s absolutely understandable that you’re struggling to process your feelings. You deserve to have space to openly express and explore all of this.

      Rape Crisis may be able to help you access some specialist support. You are not alone in this experience and it’s completely normal to be wondering about how you will feel when baby is here. Perhaps you could speak to your midwife about your concerns, if you haven’t already. They could be another route for getting local support in place.

      Take care and keep posting,
      Lisa
