I was a single parent with my first. It was hard, however i wouldn't change it for the world. My son and I have a bond that I wouldn't have if his dad was there. There will be days that you want to give up and days that you wake up with your littlw one

F1sttimemom....im not one to put my personal out there, but what the heck this forum is about supporting other mommies right? I'm married and I have a high risk pregnancy (progesterone shots). However I'm doing it by myself. My husband is gone and is dancing on my last nerve right now (which is the last thing I need rgt now). My lil sister has stepped in as my ”baby daddy” and she goes to my doc appts and everything with me. Does it suck? Big time!!!! But I am an avid believer that we all go thru things to hlp the next one coming behind us. Elenore Roosevelt put it best whn she said ”women are like tea bags, you never know how strong they are until they are in hot water”. Hold your head up honey and be strong, you will be fine, its not easy, but I can ans will be done....God just made us women that way ;-)

Im not an only mom either but i strongly believe that single moms are the strongest being on earth! You will be a great mom and your beautiful baby doesbt need a fake dad that walked out on him or her. My mom was a single mom with me and she met the man of her life when i was four and he adopted me :) he is my dad and i will love him forever. Sometime the sperm donar is not the right man but when you do find tge one for you he will accept you AND your little angel! When ur sad just make a list of all the wonderful things you want to tell ur baby or do with them. I write letters to my son, my hubby thinks its funny but pregnancy hormones bring me down sometimes and it makes me happy to write my little boy a letter of all the wonderful things he can do and how much we love him.

Just hang in there momma! Your little one will keep u busy and its amazibg how much love they will give you :)

I'm not doing it alone so I can't say I know how you feel BUT I can say that whether your precious baby has one parent or two I'm sure you will give your little one enough for two. You never know what you can do until your put into that situation. Think of this in a positive way. Staying depressed is not good for you or your baby. Instead of thinking about how lonely Lamaze class will be without your ex invite a close friend or family member that you would like to have in the delivery room go with you. It will be a step in a positive direction. This isnt the end of the world even though I know it might feel like it. This is suppose to be the best time of your life so don't let his selfishness change it for you and your jelly baby. Best of luvk to you and post here often as this forum is very supportive:-)
