Asking 4 your prayers n warm words

Ladies I'm 26yrs old n 33wks with my first child. Recently my boyfriend n I had a terrible break up n I'm back at my mothers house. Its been really hard on me because he was the sole provider while I finished school. I mean I feel I'm able to work but what job will hire me this far along in my pregnancy. I'm having my baby shower soon n saved some money but I still have bills n needs n wants 4 my daughter. He's willing 2 do his role as her father but honestly I don't want 2 ever have 2 ask him 4 a thing. I'm not struggling but I didn't imagine giving birth 2 my daughter n bringing her 2 my mothers house instead of home with her father n I. I'm unable 2 get a place if my own right now so I just have 2 stick it out. I guess my issue is dealing with a break up at the end of my pregnancy n not having my own space which makes me feel less of a woman or like I'm just not ready. Everything seemed 2 be going so well at home with my boyfriend now it's like everyday something negative comes up n destroys my spirits. I just want to be the best mother possible n right now it feel like I'm at a stand still.

Ive been in the exact same boat as you before so i can definitely relate. It may not sound great but by all means for the sake of ur child there is help out there like cash aid/food stamps etc. Thats only if the dad doesnt follow through with what he said he would do. I hope he steps up and does what he says. I dealt with my childs father not following through and had no choice but to get help until I could work again and the filed child suport. There is a light at the end of that dark tunnel and sorry u had to experience what I had to. I wish that on no one. God will get uou through it, i know cuz he did me and were doing great now. Youre in my prayers hun, stay strong you got this

At the stage ur in its pointless to find a job now but as soon as u are ready start the job search and find something that will fit ur needs and work towards getting ur own stuff it seems tough now but u can definitely do it I can relate bcuz me and my boyfriend have the same situation he was working while I was in school but I did have a part time job I took a break from school and haven't worked since I was laid off from my job so I would be in the same boat if my boyfriend decided he wanted to leave but luckily we have worked out a lot of our issues and are on a better track now but u can definitely get on without him so don't feel bad and u will be a great mom

I'm sorry to hear that. The fact that he is willing to help you should make things a little easier. Your daughter will always be taken care of and that takes a little bit of weight off your shoulders. Just focus on enjoying the last few weeks of your pregnancy. Things sound ok right now soo focus on that and ignore the negative stuff.
