Pregnancy is a fact of life, as is self-harm. I am surprised by the lack of sites for people experiencing pregnancy after battling with self-harm.

There are many sites in support of those wanting to beat the addiction of self-injury, even those in support of people wanting to continue to self-injure, but for those who have become pregnant, there is nothing in support of those people.
 

I am hoping that I can gather information and testimonies from people who have experienced self-harm and are currently pregnant or have children. I also hope that people can come to this site and gain information surrounding it.

People experiencing this have so many fears. Will people think I will be an unfit mother because I self-harm? Will people think I will harm my child just because I harm myself? How will doctors treat me? Will they think the child is going to be born into a high risk household?
 
I hope this site will be able to answer some of those questions, and the fears that we hold.

 

We exist, where are you hiding?
