My sons dad is worthless lazy and doesn't seem interested in his almost 3 yr old son. It does hurt sometimes but we don't need them if they aren't any good and don't care its a waste of time to stress over them. I'm high risk too I wish you and your baby the best.

As for the miscarriage part, it is completely natural to be worried about that. Its a sad factof life that it occurs, but it happens, and it is a very real fear. Just take the best care as you can of yourself, and it will all work out somehow.

Id like to share with you my best friends story, she dated this guy throughout her entire high school life, and they always talked of getting married and having kids, and they were so excited when they found out she was pregnant, and then even more excited when they found out it was a boy. They had his name picked out and theirlives planned out. And then she started to show. As soon as her bump popped out it was like a switch. He went from being the nicest most compassionate man she ever met, to the biggest as.shole ever. I think it just became to real for him too quick, and he couldn't deal. He ended up beating her and she ran away and left the province to go hide at her mothers. She went through the same feelings you did, how is my son going to grow up and be a man without his father in his life, how am I going to do this on my own, etc. My godson has met his dad one time, on skype. He has never acknowledged his paternity, even after dna tests confirmed.
My whole reason for telling you this, is that my godson, who is now 2, is the most intelligent little boy I've ever met. He hit all the right milestones at all the right times, despite not having a father figure. He has not yet questioned why his family is different from other families, and has never asked for his dad. You can raise this baby on your own, it's going to take a lot of hard work, and there will be some hard times, but you don't need that man in your life. You are all that baby needs to survive. You are its life, its food, its blood, and its love, and that is all that baby needs to survive and thrive in this world.
