restraining order to defend myself as a pregnant mom-to-be?

JessaRex

i'm actually from windsor but toronto is the closest city on the list.

my SO's ex has been passively hostile towards myself and my SO since me and him got together and then worse when she found out we are expecting a baby. she has sent messages to myself, my mom, my ex, my SO, all of my SO's ex-girlfriends, and now she is trying to convince people to steal from us. is a restraining order a possibility at this point? because her attempts to get people to steal has failed and i have a fear that i'm going to be home by myself one day and she is going to walk through that door to just take what she wants... if i were not pregnant i could handle that kind of scenario on my own, but even after my daughter is born, i'm worried that she may do something a bit more drastic and even hurt my LO... everyone that knows her (ive asked around to see exactly what kind of problem i am looking at to know what course of action would be best) has all agreed that she is unstable and suggests being very careful where she is concerned. would it be going overboard to get a restraining order on her to get her to stop messaging and pestering myself and my SO? i'm the 'take action' one in my relationship, where as my SO is a very passive person... but ive never had to do something like this before...

You could get a restraining order. But I don't know if the situation is serious enough that they would grant one. A lot of times they have to physically do something before they can grant one. It wouldn't hurt to find out. That being said, a restraining order won't prevent her from showing up anyways, it will just have harsh consequences if she did.

i had made a report that she had been harassing to a degree, but cant get a restraining order. i also spoke with a social worker about her (and a second person that has set off some red flags with abusive behavior) and have set up that she is not aloud on the delivery floor without a cause (like if a family member is delivering) and she is not in any way aloud in the room i am in. the reason for this is that she has made a threat that she may call CAS (spite call) and tell them that im unfit as a mother , even though ive dont nothing to give her grounds to say so (besides to tell her to butt out and go away...). so ive set this up, let someone official know that there is an issue between myself and her, to deminish the chances of major problems later.
