single mothers

Hi,I'm 8 weeks, about to be 9. I'm going to be a single mom through this whole new season in my life. I was wondering if there were any other single mom's out there that can give me advice on anything. Thanks.

I was a single mom with my first baby and the biggest thing i learned is no matter what, your baby is your top priority. For the first 3 months i had her, i was depressed because i didnt have a man and i felt lonely. But as soon as i let my mom support me and let go of wanting a man, i was able to concentrate on my little girl and i met the greatest man ever sopn after i got my priorities straight and he loves her like his own. I never regretted putting my baby above all else. Also, patience is important too...and it can be hard when theres just one parent. But us woman are fierce and you can do it. Just believe in yourself. Good luck to you!

I have also been single my entire pregnancy. I'm now 33w 6 days. My advice would be to rely on your family for support because you will need it. And don't get down or sad bc a guy isn't around-you will find the right guy when the time is right for you and the baby. Good luck and just try to stay positive! :-)
