pregnancy emotions?

For the first time sense being pregnant I wish I was with my baby's dad. Not because I want to be with him, but because I have to do everything on my own. I'm super sick and its 10pm at night, and my dad who is also sick drank the last of my cold medicine ( that I bought and can only take that kind because im pregnant )  so I have to drive to the store, and get some. I just wish I had someone to go to the store for me when I need something, rub my feet when I get home from a long day at work. I'm almost in tears right now because I don't want to get dressed and drive to the store, but I know I won't sleep or feel better if dont. I think being tired and sick and all these hormones are making me feel this way. Because I've been completely okay with doing everything buy myself and haven't wanted it any other way until tonight. Do any other single moms get this way some times?

I feel that way sometimes.  My babys dad decided when i was 6 months he didnt wanna be involved. I am now 35w6d n im fine without him. But when i need things done to prepare, my feet rubbed, i wish i had support from him. But i just think of it as everything i do is for the baby. Im too close to the end to break down cause of him.

What's getting me the most right now, is that my dad is the one that finished the rest of my medicine and he is sitting here hearing me hack up a lung and won't go get me more...

I and being emotional w anybody. For the same reason. They're gonna say to setup or etc. N honestly i get mad w family n friends when they don't offer to help. They see me struggle but won't help at my worst. If i would crave something, they'd say nothing. Or if i carry heavy stuff,  they'll say don't, but won't offer to help.support sure would b nice.

I understand what you mean hun. I'm 33+1 and my babies father and I haven't been together since the first month I was pregnant. I cry all the time and feel alone. I was sick twice throughout my pregnancy and one of the times it was with the flu. When that happened I felt even worse and wished I had someone to just hold me and help me through it. Just say strong and know it's ok to get help sometimes.

If I do I get told to stop being emotional. I don't want a pitty party,  just some support would be nice some times.

I am 35 weeks. I've been alone for my whole pregnancy. W 3 toddlers. How i do it? Easy, i try not to think about how miserable it is.i don't talk about it to anyone. But here, nobody knows me. I can say i sometimes feel like crying, but i don't. I'm scared of giving birth without him by my side. Everyone thinks I'm strong. But deep inside I'm not. I've had to stay w cravings, deal w my own sickness, if I'm hungry i have to cook my own. If kids are crying, no one to help. If i need to do laundry, i have to carry n etc. I do wish i was w someone to love me ncare for me. Everytime i want something, n i have do it, i cry of anger. Alone. I keep it inside most of the time until i explode n burst into tears. It's good to let it out.
