It doesnt get easy. It just becomes more real. And you realize what you have to do on your own once the baby gets here.

Im a soon to be single mom and it is very hard...especially when the baby dad is a jerk but keeps trying to get back woth you. All he ever did woth me was control me. But we always fought. Its not easy for someone to take me over. It really is hard but I have a feeling it will get better especially when yoh meet that one special guy that will be the father for you baby :)

It gets better with time ... I was feeling the same way being that 1 of my kids father is Decease I found out that you'll get the hang of it ... I'm 36 weeks pregnant & at first I found it would be hard from what others say but now it seems like it's getting easy because I know what I got to do MOTHER & FATHER ... Coming from experience It'll get better

Ive been a single mom for years, beginning at age 15 and that was 15 yrs ago. Now that i am raising all 5 of my kids still as a single mom i get very few upside down faces or opinions bc for the most part i get a lot of kudos. No it was never meant to be easy, but it will strengthen the relationship that u have with your child, and thats most important. Nothing beats having that child to tell you how much they adore u or honor u as their mother. It takes a strong woman to be this! Understand that God knew you would be and is prepared to see you all the way through!

I had my 1st boy when I was 18 and my 2nd when I was 20 and reared them both on my own. Yes, it can be hard and people will have opinions on single mothers, ignore them!!! you will have "off" days, so allow yourself those without feeling bad about it. You'll be very surprised the strength you will get from your baby and how proud you will be for doing it alone. Good luck to you and give yourself time & credit for what your doing. & remember, there's is no such thing as a perfect family or perfect parent, so keep your head up & do your best!!

Im sorry, being a single mom isnt eash. I cant aah it gets "better"  because its actually really hard, BUT it is totally a blessing and a beautiful feeling once u make it past the hardwe infanst atages. Just prepare as muh as u can now witb diapers and onsies and everything. Save up for days when u need help and dont have it, you will make it through. Sorrh u have to go thru this alone, but youe child is still a beautiful gift after its all said and done.
