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?

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.
