I have never been in your situation so i can't say... "oh I know what you must be going through...ect"  but I just wanted to say that I bet a bunch of us will pray for you, and I hope that their are friends and family in your life who can "be there" for you, and help you out and help lighten your load.  
  take care! and I hope things go really well for you anways, despite the not quite so ideal situation     - Charis

Hey girl....preganacy is a wonderful thing......you will be a wonderul mom I am sure of it......things will be scary at first but, in the end.....it is all worth it....I work with children everyday and I see the ones that have 2 parents that do not get along, fight, do drugs etc.....they do not need that in their lives----they need someone who will be there for them, love them, feed them, care for them.....it sounds as though you have your head in the right place....which is loving and caring and planning for your unborn child!!!!  YOU GO GIRL!!!!!

you will do just fine as a single mother. My mom was a single parent and I turned out just fine. I'm a straight A student, I have a good job, an apartment of my own. I'm very responsible, etc. My mom gave me all the love I could ever need! (She raised me on a middle class income as well)
You'll do just fine!!!

you are having normal reactions about becominf a mother.. with or without a husband i think all pregnant women ask themselves questions about parenthood and if we are going to be good parents or not. i think you should give yourself thumbs up that you were able to see the bad in someone even if you were pregnant..

Just the fact that you are thinking ahead and about the future for yourself and your baby shows that you will make a great mother.  It takes courage to break off an engagement when you know that the path that would have been was the wrong way.  It is natural and perfectly normal feel the way you do.  This is unchartered territory for you.  Some days you will feel more confident and other days you may not.  Do you have close family or friends that you can talk to?  It will be okay.  Things usually work out one way or another, and with a little confidence, committment, determination, and help from others, it will be okay.  Rise above the anxiety and try to enjoy these days, they are special.  But, the best is yet to come...

I am studying Family and Child Science in college and we learned that it only takes one adult, doesnt matter if they are related or not, to make a child feel loved and grow up healthy. Dont worry about it. You will be fine, your love will be enough.

of course you don't sound rediculous! it is normal to be scared under the circumstances. i have known several people that grew up in a single parent household and they are very well rounded people. the baby/child just needs to know it's loved from someone and that they always have someone that they can turn to. i'm sure you'll be able to do it.
