Are there any single expecting moms?

[ResegoM]

Hi ladies! I was just wondering if there are any other moms-to-be that are in this all by themselves??

[batmanmomma]

Hey ladies, I am also going to be a single mom.  I've recently broken up with my fiancé after finding out that he got another girl pregnant. I to work in a mail dominated field of distribution were I soon won't be able to lift to much. I'm a little over 6 weeks and are confused and very emotional too

Now that I am pregnant I cannot go underground. I know my co-workers will have something nasty to say when I disclose... "what's the point of even hiring her? Goshh" ...and I'm the youngest in the team, not married and having a baby will be a disgrace in their eyes. We all have challenges but we must be prepared to step out of them as better stronger individuals

People will always judge irrespective of what you do. I just completed my graduate program on the 15th and got appointed on the 18th. I work for a mining company and a large portion of my job is working underground

Thanks. I think i am just worried about being judged. If I have it what will my coworkers think. Can I really walk around with a big belly?! It's my first baby but my child didn't ask to be here. So I am gonna think about it and see. I am Christian so I don't believe in abortions I am moreso afraid of doing everything alone. I know I can do this but I work for a high standardized place. Meaning some will judge me. I am just extremely nervous and scared. An i am more afraid that if I dont have it and go through with the abortion that I won't be able to have kids in the future. So I have a huge decision to make. I want my baby so bad tho despite their father not being around.

Same here I am a single mom and im 4 weeks and 3 days. The father left me. My family is divided. Some want me to abort others want me to keep. I am torn I don't wanna bring my baby in the world alone but then again I wanna experience this it is my first baby. Such a big decision. I made an appointment for the doctors on the 10th. And I have an appointment on this Saturday for the abortion. I am torn between whether I should keep it or give it up. I don't wanna do adoptions. I am just hurt. I cry almost everyday

[ResegoM]

You sound like you are in a horrible state. This is also my first pregnancy and I had not imagined it this way. I don't think anyone ever wants to bring a child into the world alone without the support and love of the father...but it happens. I don't know what your religious background is but for me abortion has never been an option. As much as we (human) make mistakes, God does not make mistakes. Babies are a blessing despite the circumstances. I am a bit scared about this journey but I trust that all will fall into place and I will enjoy it. Try not to stress too much and think your decision through. At the end of the day, it is about what you want not what your family/friends/whoever wants... Make a decision that you'll be able to live with and one that satisfies you. Good luck.

We are in the same boat. I don't even know how I feel about it now, I've become emotional numb and it freaks me out at times. The last thing I need is an emotional breakdown as time goes by. Apparently babies can sense your mood and stress is a big no no! On the upside, I am quite excited about being a mom although this is completely unplanned. ...I am only 7 weeks pregnant, how far along are you?

It's heartbreaking that he doesn't want to be involved especially when we definitely wasn't preventing it from happening. I'm trying not to stress about it and stay positive. Of course I want him to be there and be involved but I can't force him to do something he doesn't want to do.

[charra12]

I am... I have the support of my family but as far as the father. I'm doing it alone

[ResegoM]

Hey... At least your family is supportive. I haven't told mine and baby daddy doesn't want anything to do with us. How are you coping though? Is it by choice that you're 'alone'?
