Single pregnant women??

I'm 25 years old.  The father of the child practically ran away when I told him I was pregnant.  Feeling a little overwhelmed but managing fine thus far.  9 weeks 5 days in, my doc officially removed me from full time hours due to how sick I've been.  Now I only work 20 hours a week.  My family is huge support.  Don't know where I'd be without them.  Still hurts a little when I see people talking about how happy their guy is about the baby when mine was a little wimp and left.  Just wondering if there's anyone else out there single and preggers like me..

I'm practically single. My boyfriend is... unable to be with me and baby though he wants to be. Don't know if he will be able to come home to us anytime soon though he wants to. It's very tuff and I understand how you feel alone cause that's how I feel a lot even though my family is more than supportive and helpful. I guess you just have to focus on the good things as much as possible!

I had my bf support all the way up to my 7 month. Then one day we go into a fight nd he just moved out nd left us never offered support bought anything for the baby or helped with bills even got back wit his ex mind u I lost my job of 15 yrs while all this was happening so I was pregnant with no job nd a house full of bills. My world was crushed! Really had a tuff time. It was affectong my babies health so i had to get over it! I prayed a lot nd had great support from my family nd now I'm due in 5 days happy nd ready to meet my lil guy. Just focus on ur baby nd staying healthy for that beautiful blessing ur carrying bc nothing is more important than that. It'll be hard but so worth it all in the end nd you'll get all the love from ur baby :) good luck mama god bless you!

You arent alone babe. My ex kicked me out in florida. A state i had noone in, because i refused to abort. It hurts doing this alone. My family isnt a help either. I had wonderful women on here help.me find a womans shelter. I have had more support from beautiful strangers then the ones who should have been. You arent alone love and if you ever need a kindred spirit my email is ***@****. this is the biggest test of strength in our lives.... and you are not alone my dear

I'm 38+2 and the same thing happened to me I also have a very supportive family and friends and I look at it as his loss ......of course we all want the "perfect" family and maybe when my son is born he will come around but again if he doesn't my son is more than loved and I think we will be just fine ......hang in there mama and just know you are not alone ....best wishes on your journey

I am 36 weeks and I've been single since week 20. My husband I've been with for 11 years left me, has a new girlfriend, and wants a divorce. It is hard and ***** but maybe there a are better things to come for you and me...

You def can do it.  A lot of times it takes men to as the baby to get it together. They're idiots. I was a single mother for awhile. Be strong and you don't need him. It's great your family is supportive that baby will be loved :)

You never know, he may still come to his senses. And if he doesn't, good riddance. I'm glad you have a supportive family :) all the best!
