To @zn29jmlqik thank you for taking the time to share your situation with us. It sounds like things are stressful for you whilst also having a high risk pregnancy also to deal with.
There is support available for you directly via GamCare treatment service for someone affected by another persons gambling you can call the helpline on 0808 802 0133 and speak with an Online Helpline Advisor that can take a referral from you.
Also the Money Guidance Scheme can help with organising your payments and a referral can be made via the Helpline Advisor. I have also included the link below to our Managing your money factsheet link.
Please speak with your G.P. or ante natal team about any health concerns which I am sure you are doing as part of your pregnancy care.
Your husband can also access 121 treatment separate to you via the Helpline Advisor if he is not already accessing support.
It may seem like there is no positive outcome but with support commitment to plans and determination positive change can happen.
Best wishes to you and your family
