single moms where are you?
So I'm 19 weeks pregnant and its starting to look like i may become a single mom. I kinda want to know some of your stories. I've been keeping my pregnancy a secret and my boyfriend doesn't want a baby right now but wants an abortion and I don't. The baby has 50/50 chance of ending our relationship and I'm terrified of being a single mother who is a full time junior in college but I know it can be done. Anyone want to share?
I'm single and 18 a ftm wt twins . I'm really nervous but excited at the same time. You just have to know ur strong enough to do it
I am not a single mom but my mom was and you can do it.. My dad left her with nothing but two kids to raise and we are not only close but she is my hero nothing was ever put before us and I am so gratefully I know it was hard but she did it and so can you.. Never let someone treat you badly it will only affect you and your little one I hope it all works out for you
27wks and single.. baby's dad hasn't come around since I was 14wks. And pays attention only to his first born. So no luck for my little one. Breaks my heart but I know I'm not alone, at least I can count with the support of my family and close friends.. Silly of me to think that he once wanted to have a baby with me as he had said and now that she's coming he still to man up and do his part. 4years of my life dealing with him wasted, off and on with him for nothing...

My mom was a single mom working at macys making next to nothing we lived in section 8 housing but she did it without any help from my dad I know bringing a baby into the world by yourself is a freaky thing but its a great life present and idk maybe its life telling you something im a firm believer in fate so idk maybe this baby in your life has purpose
Me and my bf were togeather 2 years and jus broke up 2 weeks ago i found out i was prego last night...I figure lots of women for.many years have done it alone so can i
Im 21 i have a two n a half year old been on my own since i was four months. Currently preggo numb 2 and been alone since i became preg
Im a single mom and i love it! I wouldnt change it for the world! Every situation is different though. I chose to be a single mom by using donor sperm with both my kiddos same donor for both. I havent met Mr. Right yet have a feeling i wont meet him until im too old to have kids anyway. Lol. I wanted kids and want to be done having kids by age 30. So im going it alone :) i also dont want to have custody battles or child support or worrying which holiday or birthday i will have/see my child. I also dont want my child bouncing from house to house every weekend type thing. Id worry about them being taken care of properly etc. Im a worrier and i have a VERY strong maternal instinct that i want to be with my kids 24/7/365 and then some. My dr says i have the strongest maternal instinct shes ever seen. Lol i believe anyone can do it you just have to have your heart set on it and know that you can do it. It has its hard times but it always gets better. And when your little one looks at you and smiles hugs kisses or tells you that they love everything that upsets you dissappears. Good luck.
Whatever you choose I'm sure it will be best but if he is giving you an ultimatum you probably will move on sooner or later. Do what your heart and your gut tell you.
I was in the same exact situation as you with my first boyfriend. I went with adoption. There are a lot of good people out there that can't conceive children. If you feel like you aren't ready for the responsibility that is a great option and you can still see your child once in a while so he or she knows you. Good luck.
I am 36+4..& the guy I got pregnant by was one of my best friends of 6 years we had screwed around over the years even had a pregnancy scare before 2 years ago so it shocked the hell out of me when he said he wanted me to get an abortion I did not want to do that one day he showed up at my house talkin about lets go to the clinic I refused to go & told him it wasnt his when we both knew it was but he left me alone moved out of state I called him 2months later after I knew for certain I couldnt have a abortion & we talked he didnt deny her he knew it was his and that I had lied we talked till I was 6 months then he gotta girlfriend who started puttin **** in his head and he started to deny her to not stress myself over the situation I cut all ties with him b/c I had got into it with his mom who says i shoulda got abortion & his sister who just likes to talk sh*t I do not want my baby around negative pple or pple who dont want her around he lives in new mexico and I live in tennessee now so he wont see her my baby is well taken care of and shes not even here yet I have great family support as well im ok with being a single mom I have not heard from him and I dnt plan on him callin but anyways my mom and my grandma was single parents and they did fine and im sure I wil too :)
I am not a single mom, but a friend of mine is going to be a single mom to identicle triplet girls. She has known from the beginning that she would be a single mom and still chose to keep the girls. You can do it!
Single mommy here. Im 32+4 and my baby daddy is a piece of ****. When i met him i didnt know much about him. He was very nice and a sweetheart. Until i found out he was married. So i left him then found out i was pregnant. I thought it was only right to tell him so i did and his responce was to threaten me. He kept telling ne he was going to have someone show up at my house and/or work and beat me so i loose my baby. And to this day i have no spoken to him. Its scary to think abouy being a single mom, but if you have a supportive family and good friends you will be okay.
You do what you must to live a full life. Also hayang you are not weak for having a responsible partner. Trust me if you had no choice to be a single mom you would have the strength too. Its called mothers instinct and every good mother has it. Hang in there ladies and don't let the tough times bring you down. :)
I'm not a single mom but just want to say you guys are amazing. I feel so dependent on my hubby it makes me feel weak. but you guys are so strong nd independent its inspiring.
I thought I was happily and newly engaged, 9wks pregnant and home with that nasty stomach virus. Fiance came home blabbing on the phone with a.female friend (which.I.don't.care.I'm far from insecure) BUT, kept referring to her as babe. After he was off of the phone, I kindly asked him to please refrain from calling.other women pet names in my presence. Well, he flipped the heck out and cornered me in my bathroom, screaming and coming towards me in a threatening manner. I asked him about eight times to leave me a lone and let me out.of my bathroom. He didn't,so I shoved.him and he hauled off and hit me. NEEDLESS to say,I'm no longer engaged and am now looking at single mommyhood. I later found out from his mother (which he hadn't introduced me to yet) that there was a lot.I.didn't know about him and.that he was a pathological liar with a gift for gab. And had past issues with anger. So I'm not.letting.him take.my happy even with.the.threats.and.nasty words.....that he decided.to text
SMH....silly man. I'm sure.the.courts will love that. But I work full time, help run a dog rescue, have three.dogs.of my own plus a Foster in a one bedroom apartment. But I have SO MUCH determination to be a good mommy and still a responsible adult. And with all that drama it.just gave me a harder.kick in the a** to keep going,for my.baby. WE ARENT CREATING SINGLE PARENTHOOD! There are.so many women and men raising children with.tons.of.love.

My son will be five in may. I have been a single mom since he came into this world. There are amazing days and there are days you will question yourself even break down. I have to say that all the doughts and stress goes away when your child shows you any kind of love. Its so worth it and i would never change anything. Im now 12 weeks with #2 and looks like ill be single mom of two beautiful children. I go to college and manage life. You will be fine, just stay strong and enjoy every moment. My son is my strength and soon this little baby will be aswell.
Im totally single and i have come to realize if your s strong woman and you prove to yourself and your child you don't need a man to be a gret parent youll feel great and your child will have a great example. We can do it! :)
Single mom of a soon to be three year old and one on the way. i attract *** holes
You can do it!!!!! There are more single moms then not! If your bf won't stick around then he's not a real man and clearly doesn't care about you enough to be on your side ! But the beautiful thing is he gave you something a gift really that will always be yours and love you unconditionally and same to you
My x and I had a crazy irresponsible party weekend and that was th weekend baby was concieved. I knew that weekend was bad even the day after it endded. And I knew I had to b pregnnt. Since I'm allergic to plan b. I jus had to wait n find out. Sure enuf I was preg. He told me he didn't want nothing to do with the situation and told me to get rid of it n go get an abortion. I dont believe in that so I decided to keep it. He then left and I have been on my own since th begining. It was hard at first. But ever day gets easier. I always try to think positive, and I am doin my best to prepare for this baby. I'm 22 and a ftm. I will b 25 weeks tuesday.
