is anyone going to be raising their baby alone?

I swear I'm going through too much with my child's father.  I've come to realize we're better off without him . I have a strong family behind me . At the end of the day he'll be the one hurting .

I'm worried if I dump him he will try and take the baby from me when it's born, I know he's a good father but he's a ****** boyfriend idk

Hey doll! Youre not the only one doing it alone, my donor and i broke up before i found out i was pregnant and I've let him know he doesn't seem to take any interest but im totally ok with it :) You now have your baby thus you will never be alone again!  Plus a super strong family?  Girl you are blessed! Dont put yourself down as long as your baby has you he has all he needs. Congratulations!

Thanks and i wish u all the best in the world for u and ur daughter ... Don't get me wrong I do still think about him and for child sack also I want the perfect happy family but in reality it doesn't always work the way we plan it too and I no deep down I have to be strong for my son sake he will be rared and loved unconditionally by me and my family ... I'm all set now and ready for the little man to appear times do get lonely but I'm trying to enjoy it while I have it I'll be busy out in the next few weeks and u will be amazed at how ur self confidence will rise wen u get away from the negativity :)

I am close to 29 weeks.. and my daughters father and I have a very unhealthy relatonship.. we tried many times & like you I have decided for my own sake we are better off without him.. in any relationship (pregnant or not) you cannot make a man do something he doesn't want to do.. as much as I want my daughter to have and know her father, I am not going to put myself thru hell or beg him to be around.. it is his choice and like you said.. he will be the one living with the regret... i think it's awesome you ha e a great support system becuase so do I.. it's sad that every single person except him is ecstatic. .. and I give you props fo your strength becuase not alot of women can do it alone.. so right on.. you go girl.. for you and your baby !!!

Though I won't be raising this child alone I have been in your situation... Ileft my sons father when he was just a month old Itryed to make it work but Iwas already taking care of him by myself even after just having a c section and figured if I'm doin this on my own now mine as just be appart... so Ileft him and Iraised my son on my own and his father still has nothing to do with him and he's 2 now.. now I'm ingaged to a good man and exspecting a daughter... sometimes goin your own way is the best path was for me.. good luck mama u can do it
