no grandparents

[kit_kat1999]

Im 3 weeks pregnant with my first baby and it just now hit me that my child will most likely grow up without grandparents. My father died of cancer this past october and my mother is in horrible health. All of my other family have died in the past few years, all i have left is my mother's step mom and step brother. However, neither one of them like me too much and will most likely cut me out of their lives when they find out i am pregnant. My baby's father was adopted by his grandparents when he was 6weeks old and his birth parents aren't in the picture. His parents are quite old and not in very good health. I was extremely close to my grandparents growing up, they were my best friends. And it really hurts to know that my baby won't have that.

I totally agree with Corriem! The fact that you are born into a certain family or that you have lost your love ones doesn't mean that your friends (or some of them) can't treat you like family. Surround yourselves with positive energy and those who really care and love you.. that's all you and the little one will need even though it's not easy.

Good luck tou you all xx

Awww all your baby will need is love from you, sure you'd like to have the biggest family around to help, but you really can do it yourslef, you just show your little one the love that you want them to have and they will be just fine. Also I know it's not the same but my mom loves 700 miles away from me, so I have sort of some adopted mothers that have steppes up to the plate, my god mother is number 1, but also I have a couple women at work that have really been there for me since I found our I was pregnant, they have become sort of grandmother's or aunts to me and I know they will treat my son the same way when he is born.

I'm in the same place :( my mom passed away in 2012 of her 4th heart attack & my dad moved from Ohio to Mississippi to be with his girlfriend & last I heard he wasn't doing good, he pretty much disowned me a year ago.. So I know how it feels :( its probably one of the hardest things in the world.. hugs
