advance please..having problems with baby's father.

Okay, I'm 8 weeks pregnant. I found out I was pregnant when I was 4-5 weeks. The baby's father was with me when I found out, an he seemed happy at the time. Though now all we seem to do is fight. He told me my feelings were wrong today. I've tried to be as honest as I can with him, I'm not happy anymore and I feel really stressed out. My mom and family say I need to end it but I know when I do this child will suffer because he probably won't want a lot to do with it or me. Someone please give me advice on what to do.

@ashely_lemons I know you will have the strength there is nothing wrong with being a single mother & I know you'll be a great one. A mother shouldn't be with so much stress it harms the bby, good luck & God bless

Thank you,  I'm a first time mom to. I've been praying about it for a while but it has just gotten worse and I feel bad because he is my baby's father. I know if I stay with him it'll just get worse because he was not like this tell I got pregnant and he acts like I'm the problem. I think my mom and family is right,  I think it's time to end it. I hope I have the strength to do this as a single mom.

I had the same problem with my first child. The moment I found out I told my then bf, he was not happy at all he wanted me to abort so bad b/c he said he was not ready to be a father. I never even considered it as an option, I dumped him & went on my own without him. I can honestly say it was the best choice I have ever made, all the stress abt what he thought went away & now I'm happily married with the most understanding & loving husband & waiting for my 3rd bby to arrive.  God knows why things do happen & I father's who don't seem happy at all is b/c they aren't ready to be father's.  Good luck & God bless

Im 25 weeks pregnant with my first child and I been without the father of my baby since day one, only god knows why he does the things he does. You should be glad you have your parents support and there is alot of single mothers and those are the best, don't worry about anything because thats bad for the baby if you fix the problems with the baby daddy then great but if you don't just never forget that you can do anything you set your mind to I wish you the best sweetie:)
