Support with homelessness and first time pregnancy

Posted By Sarrr55

"Support with homelessness and first time pregnancy"

About: Camglen Community Maternity Family Support Hubs / Family Support Hub - Rutherglen & Cambuslang

(as a parent/guardian),

I was due to head off to Stirling for university in September 2025 to start studying to become a paramedic. After being told I’d never be able to have children I unexpectedly fell pregnant! I had no home and very little support round about me in a professional capacity and was terrified my pregnancy would go wrong! I spoke to my community midwife who put me in touch with Kirsty who listened to me and helped me stay on my feet. Kirsty managed to source some beautiful stuff for my little girl and helped me to ensure that my little girl would have the best start in life! Fast forward to now I have a happy and healthy daughter and I’m feeling really excited for our future.
