i got the baby blues at 35 weeks but u get over it trust me wgen u get closer ur gunna be super happy remember think positive. Im a Christian and im also a single mother though i admit i sinned and put myself in this situation I know God is great and my son is his blessing to me. Instead of being sad or crying I gave God my worries and told him to take the wheel in my life. I was seven weeks pregnant broke alone and i contemplated abortion even though it's against everything I believe in. So when the father of my child left after being with me and my fiance fr two and half years and our church planning our wedding. I found myself broken and hurt and i was overwhelmed I couldn't be a mom i was too young. Then when he left i pleaded out to God and i asked for forgiveness. The lord says even if your mother or your father abandoned you I am.with you. Im no longer sad im blessed my son has the ultimate father. Hes also blessed with uncles and grandpas that love him and are there for me and most of all i have my mom who's my rock. I gave God my financial burdens and hes blessed me with a steadt income and free money. My son has everything he needs bags of clothes and so much blessings. From having nothing. Also my baby is my strength I'm a full time college student im doing all i can for my child. Im 38 weeks pregnant and so happy. Dont think about the sleepless nights think about the blessing of why u dont sleep think about the future not the now. Your child is you will love you be yours. Children are God's blessings and he chose to bless you. I noe its hard because we see other mommys with daddys and were vulnerable but you are not alone God is with you guve him your worries give him your sadness your fear and he will gve you peace. Dont be afraid for the unknown those emotions are implanted by the devil instead reject those feelings and say no im blessed I am happy God is with me I am strong I will survive. I am not alone. Jesus you are faithful. there's a reason your in the desert God wants you to trust him

Don't be scared.  I had my first one alone. (Broke up with the dad after dating a yr and a half then found out I was pregnant). I am such a stronger woman for it doing it by myself.  Sure there were times when I was lonely or depressed because it was just me and the baby but I really learned who I was and who I wanted to be. You can do this. Once the baby comes you will see a love like you have never experienced before. Something to fight for and make yourself a better person for. Good luck. Value yourself and keep your standards high ;-)

Well I'm not doing it alone but I do have postpartum depression. I would definitely recommend talking to your doctor prior to giving birth. Only because it is so hard emotionally on women to have babies and your hormones and emotions will be running like wild for a while afterwords and if you're already feeling depressed, getting some sort of treatment ASAP will make taking care of your little miracle a little easier on you! Try to keep your head up and stay positive! I know it's hard but it truely is the most amazing and most rewarding feelings in the world! Goodluck and congrats! Also, sorry you're feeling sad/: it'll get better, I promise (:
