Hi Lee,
Welcome to the site and I'm sorry to hear about your problem. It must be quite hard for you at the moment, but it's good that you've already started to keep a document of events.
You will have rights when your child is born. As you probably don't have any legal representation at the moment, I would contact the Coram Children's Legal Centre for some free legal advice. There's a link at the foot of the page.
Speak to the CLC and let us know how you get on.
