I'm going through it alone but I just keep my head up and just keep picturing the day in my head were I'm holding him in my arms. It helps a lot thinking about about that day because it helps you move foward

My best friend and the thought of this helpless baby are what get me through. But seriously my best friend is my rock.

Im 20 years old and full time employed in a nursery and have my qualifications but I'm 10 weeks pregnant, bf ended it few days after finding out. When we found out he was super excited and then the next day it was the polar opposite. He turned aggressive (not physically) and so I haven't seen him since. I stopped contact with him for a while because I couldn't face it. Now back in contact and he's telling me how he's so stressed and can't do it and that he's going off the rails and blah blah blah (it's all about him) I was struggling with sickness and exhaustion and he called me a liar. He's told me he wants to be involved (when it's convenient) but he has no job and has drug issues. I'm living at home, 10 weeks pregnant, I haven't told my parents yet and have a mood swinging, un supporting, attention seeking, irresponsible douche for an ex. Being totally honest, I want him out of the picture. I don't think he even knows what he wants. Plus I'm still angry at him. I totally know how it feels!!!

I am 6 months along and I have a boyfriend but he isn't around quite yet. I can't completely relate bit I've been alone for a while. All I can say is love your baby, and know that they will love you too. You are going to be this child's favorite person. It can get lonely but you're never really alone when you're pregnant. :)

The father of my baby picked drugs over me and the baby. Its hard but you have to picked your self of the ground. It takes awhile to get the strength to do it but have faith and it will happen. Stay strong for you and your baby.

Been alone my entire pregnancy (am now 23 weeks) as the father has walked away from his responsibilities. It's not easy but you just keep going and moving forward. You make plans for you and your baby and then you take whatever actions you can to make those plans come together. You keep yourself healthy and see your medical professionals frequently. You just get on and do what needs to be done and focus on your child and yourself. If you feel yourself slipping into a bit of a funk, go for a walk. Or do something that is just for you. It will not be easy but it will be worth it in the end. Good luck!

I didn't get pregnant by choice, but I am. I feel like God controls the womb. Things work out a certain way because they're supposed to be that way. I'm happy to be alone because my baby is safe. I feel blessed to have her and be her mother

I am not alone in my pregnancy but the fact you have chosen to shows strength :) take things day by day. Even if you don't have a partner with you, having support people would be a huge help to you! If you can find a doctor or midwife who is attentive and listens to all and any of your questions, that will help with the anxiety. Just allow yourself to cry when you need it but also try to find times to laugh or just relax! Do things for yourself! And if you find yourself slipping away into a a very unhappy place... Find a counsellor or someone to talk to you to help you through the rough spots :) you have a lot of amazing things ahead you and a lot of times you will want to give up. I have a supportive partner and even with him I get terrified... Even with him I have had thoughts of giving up! It's normal to be scared! But you are more than capable to make this good and be an amazing mother :) good luck to you and your growing baby! I am 37+3 days and I am so scared and so excited I think I could pee myself for the hundredth time!!! :) merry Christmas!
