You just realize he is a deadbeat and there is a good reason you aren't with him.
Look at all the positive things that come out of Him not being around. You Can do it! Im not saying it will be easy but you can definitely do it

Whether or not you are with the father or not you will always be the lucky one. You have a precious miracle that you get to love and care for. Yes there are some hardships being a single mom but remember that you are the lucky one either way.

Honestly, just keep yourself busy & know in some way this is for the better. All you can do is be the best mom and dad you can & don't let the negativity of the situation stress you out. Find a good hobby :) somethin to make you happy. A happy momma makes a happy baby

I had my first at 16 & his "dad" went to prison when I was 8 months-my sons almost 5 now his "dad" is still there. You just accept the fact, & realize if a man doesn't take responsibility it's his loss. All you can do is play your part as mommy & daddy. It's twice the work but it's also twice the love. Sometimes it's better off doing it solo than having to put up with a "man" whose just not ready to be a dad. I did it just fine by myself, now I'm 21 & 31 weeks pregnant with my 2nd. My bf is there 100% &  loves my first as his own. I totally just dropped my son's "dad" why, not that I hide who his real father but sometimes it plays out like that & us as mom's have to find not what's the best for us but what's best for our children. I know it's not easy, & you could only hope that one day your child's father will open his eyes but for now don't stress yourself. Your doing all YOU can for YOUR child, you don't need a dead beat in your way of your happiness. Enjoy your pregnancy don't let anyone take these special moments away from you. Good luck (; it will all fall together eventually.

I'm going through the same with being single and pregnant and have a four year old already... he got me pregnant with my daughter and left when I was about 6 months along... I had alot of support and started dating one of my really good friends so I wasn't really alone. My new bf was even there when I delivered her and everything....  things didn't work out with him after a year... so I went on with my life, had other bfs,  stayed single.... u know the normal life... and my daughters father would come and go as he wanted. Most of the time I didn't allow him to see her because I didnt want her confused. She met him for the first time at a year and a half old. Would go months without seeing him and then spend a day with him.... he had another gf, he was with her four years and had a son with her. His son is a year and a half now.... well him and the girl broke up and he decided we should start hanging out together.  Well now I'm about 8 weeks pregnant. Sick as all hell and I've been home every day all by myself with my daughter for a month now. Pretty much since I found out I was pregnant. What's funny is that he told me in the begining not to catch feelings for him. So I tried not to... but then he started flirting, cuddling, kissing, got jealous when I talked to other guys even though they were just friends... said he wasn't talking to other girls and I shouldn't talk to guys so we can take things slow together. So I cut everyone off and thought we were working things out. Well that was a LIE... he was still talking to other girls. Even meeting up with one that I found out about... then he gave me the excuse that he started talking to her because he was falling in love with me and wasn't ready for a relationship... he even asked me to move in with him so we could be together since I live an hour away from him. Idk what his issue is but we got into a big fight last night and he was so mean to me. I told him I'm basically depressed and he's like I told u not to catch feelings in the beginning so that's not my fault! So now I'm just Learning how to let go and not let him play with my head anymore. It's gonna be hard and I feel super alone and sad all the time but the kids are the most important thing in the world. So as a single mom U just gotta be strong for them.

I'm going through this pregnancy without the dad too. We were together for 15 years and have a 13yr old daughter. Havent seen him since january and hes not interested at all. He has never seen me pregnant with this one and im due in 11 days (3rd Oct). Was very difficult throughout but ive
become emotionally stronger. Plenty of support from family and friends will get you through :):)

I'm a single first mom too. Not sure how I'm going to do it all alone
11 weeks and no one knows but the dad. He was more excited than I was at first now he's not around. I don't want the extra stress: and to be judged cuz he's not around so no one knows but him. I'm not dating but talking to an ex before him again. And I'm afraid to tell him cuz I don't wanna be alone 100% and I don't think he'd be supportive since baby isn't his. I'm at a loss
