Hi there, Im 25w+3d and my husband is overseas.  I'll be doing this all by myself.  I live alone and this is my first pregnancy.  I speak to my partner each and every day but its still not the same as if we were physically together.  There are times when i feel so sick and need to be comforted but instead of crying i go to the mall and browse baby stuff, it does make me feel better and although i endup buying something else...lol...sometimes i wish i had other pregnant women in my area that i can meet up with.  I work and its hard some mornings to get out of bed, especially when i didn't have a good nights rest.  I often occupy myself with researching on symptoms Im feeling, write questions/concerns done for my next appointment, plan for the baby's nursery and so on.  My biggest issue right now is eating....at times i don't feel like cooking and end up ordering in or eating out and that's no good.  I purposefully do not buy juice so that my water intake reaches the expected amount.  So hang in there, you're not the only one going through this alone.  When baby comes we'll be so consumed with him/her we won't remember anyone else ;)

Stress isn't good for you our your baby. I know it's not easy, I have been in that situation twice. Do you have friends to support u Or you can swap numbers with someone from here

I know how ur feeling I'm in the same boat when I told the father that I was pregnant and keeping it he told me he was not gonna be there or be talking to me anymore it hurt but I know that I'll be fine because I have tons of support from family and friends there are days when I get emotional because he's not there but I brush it off and know I'll love my child enough for the both of us...you will be fine we are all here for u

Its not good yo stress. Im in the same boat...it takes time to accept it. But with love and support if those around you and venting time lol you will be ok. I have been.on the road to acceptance for over two months now and its still something I have to work on.daily tho its not as bad. You will be fine. Stress is worse for u in the first trimester because of the chance of miscarriage. But its not good really...but who in the world doesn't have stress esp if you're going to be a single mom. Just find ways to deal with it. Take a walk, read, write in a journal. Get it out. That's what I have thought was the best advice. Don't keep it in. It just eats u up.

I was stressed at first but with the help of my mom I was able to get over the fact that he wasn't going to ever be there. You'll be ok hun
