Each of these has an action attached to it. They are not here to be scored.

You have thought about ending your life, or you have thought about how you would do it. Tell someone today, and contact your doctor or an emergency service today.

You have had a thought about harming the baby that did not frighten you. Same day, same route. A thought that horrifies you is a different thing and lesson two is about it, but do not sit alone deciding which one yours is.

You have not slept at all and you do not feel tired, or you believe something about the baby that the people around you say is not true. That is the emergency picture from the second step. Emergency services now.

You cannot meet the baby's basic needs today. Tell your midwife, your health visitor or your doctor today, and tell one adult who is nearby.

Someone close to you has said they are worried about you or the baby, and you find yourself arguing with them about it. Treat their worry as information rather than as an insult, and let them come with you to an appointment.

You are drinking or using something to cope and it is increasing. That goes to your doctor, and it goes soon.
