Q: Pregnant and Single
asked by: puffinlady on May 4th, 2009

I recently met someone who I found interesting and wonderful. However, after a short relationship of a couple months he dumped me for unknown reasons. I am pregnant with his child and he wants nothing to do with me or the baby.

I am not writing to shed tears or seek pity but rather the opposite. Since I have decided to keep this baby no matter what and do this alone, I wanted to say a few things.

I have read posts here of women wondering how they can manage this alone and all the fears that go along with this...well..... we can do it alone and we have been for centuries. We are not allowed to be weak because of some man who IS just that. Weak and cowardly. There are always people we can find to help us and to support us.

No..we dont have the dream of the relationship and happy family BUT we have ourselves and a wonderful baby to look forward to.

This will be my second child, as my first one is 10 years old. I just want to say to everyone in the same situation to keep your chin up and never lose your self-respect or courage to be the best mom you can be. Seek out help from counselors or self-help books or make friends in places like these! Immerse yourself in your hobbies and focus on positive things.......

I welcome contact from anyone that wants to chat about this or needs a shoulder, god only knows that I will need one too Smile

Thanks for listening

Jennifer

Hi there its so refreshing to see positivity after something like this.When i was pregnant with my first son his dad left out of the blue for no reason But 3 months later he came back he had been overwhelmed by the thought of being a dad and needed time it may well be the same for you but your outlook on this is a very good one good luck with your baby Smile

I wish I was as stong as you guys. Im seventeen and im pregnant. I know you guys think Im dumb. I know I am. I couldnt afford my birth control anymore and my now ex-boyfriend did not use a condom. I know I shouldnt have let him do that but again...im dumb. He recently left me, not because of the baby but because I was talking to a guy who had kissed me about a year ago, when I was still dating my now ex-boyfriend. No I did not kiss him back and I know it was dumb to even talk to that guy again, but once again im dumb. My ex wont get back together even after I told him everything that had happened, may I add that I told him when this guy kissed me? I just want to get back together with him. Im not sure what to do. My parents are having another baby and we dont even have room enough for me after the baby is born, let alone a baby of my own. I am graduating on Friday and nothing seems to be getting better. Today I thought everything was going to get better until some girl at school lied and told him that something more happened...which it didnt. I am in love with this man and I dont know what to do. Not to mention im throwing up everything and I can barely bring myself to eat anything and everytime I do it just comes back up. I've tried calling the doctor but everytime I leave a message they never call back. I go in and they tell me they cant get me in. How am I supposed to make sure the baby is okay? Yesterday I started noticing blood when I threw up... I tried talking to my ex about it but he doesnt want to listen to me. I am so lost and I dont think I can tell my parents. No one knows but him and I and it seems like everyone knows about our personal lives at school and I keep getting glares from people I dont know. What should I do?!?!

Ally1108~Can you go to a planned parenthood or similar type of clinic? Look in the yellow pages or speak to someone you trust like a school counselor or teacher. Good luck and God Bless~
