How many other ladies here are going to be entering single motherhood? What are your worries, fears, anticipations, or excitements about doing this alone?

Im going to be a single mom... its ok... im scared bc im a ftm and its hard. I work 2jobs and im on my feet all the time... I have little support from my family (excluding my auntie) my family does give me words of encouragement. My ex is just negative and im better off without him im trying to stay calm to ensure I have a healthy baby.

My boyfriend and I planned this pregnancy and then when I was only 2 months I found out he was cheating on me. I confronted him and he said he never really saw our relationship lasting forever. I was devastated. I don't know why he would have a baby with me and lead me on if he wasn't even committed. We're still together because apparently he decided he wants to work it out but in the back of my mind I can't help thinking he is still leading me on and I'll be a single mom soon enough. He better watch his *** if he abandons me because I will burn him in court.

I'm going to be a single mother too, my biggest fear is that I won't be enough for my little one and that they'll want to know their father. I'm in the military along with the its father and he wants nothing to do with this. I just hope I can be enough and do right by my little girl/boy.

Same here, I'll be going through this without the father of my child but I have a great support system.

My baby's father and I were together but split up and I moved home. We now live 700 miles apart. He swears he will still be involved as much as possible, but I'll be doing this on my own for the most part. Cuz he's BEGGING me not to put him on child support. But im worried he won't try as much as he says he will and I'll be the one answering questions as the little one gets older.

I will be too. The father has a daughter elsewhere and would rather be there then be back with me but im super excited as I have lots of other support around me, however I will not stop him from seeing his child if he ever contacts me... Its a little stressful not having the father around due to his experience but im much better off without him at this point

I will be. I'm just afraid of my baby growing up and wondering where her/his daddy is. :( it maked me sad because me and my dad are so close and I hate that my little one won't have that.
