Desperate Plea for Support and Connectio

Hello, everyone. I'm reaching out because I’m in a really difficult situation, and I could use some support from fellow girls in the area. I’m terrified about giving birth soon at Wishaw Hospital, and I’m feeling more alone than ever. I’m 37 weeks pregnant. And I’m due April 19th. I know it’s so late and I could give birth anytime but I’m desperate and scared. I stay in bothwell south Lanarkshire I can’t trust my partner, who has shown himself to be deceitful and untrustworthy he has neglected me this pregnancy caused me an intense amount of stress and anxiety nobody should ever feel. He refused to come to the gender scan he’s left me alone in pain and sickness . I never imagined I’d be in a position where I’m scared to lean on the person who is supposed to support me during one of the most important moments of my life. I don't want to give birth alone, especially since I don’t have any family nearby—I’m originally from Manchester and my local support system is virtually non-existent. I’ve had to tell him I can’t have him there. He has BPD he switches mood so quickly and turns on me. I can’t have him there. I’ve thought about it for months. But I really really can’t trust him on the most important day of my life which is so scary I’m hoping to meet some caring women in the area who might be interested in getting to know each other better. I’m looking for someone who might consider being my birthing partner during this time. I know it’s a big ask, but having someone there to support me means everything right now. If you’re in or around Wishaw and would like to connect, please reach out. It would be great just to chat, share some experiences, or even meet up. Thank you for taking the time to read this and for any kindness you can offer. I genuinely appreciate it.
