Q: Pregnant And Single

This is a scary situation for me because I never envisioned myself here. I always thought I would have a loving partner to help me through my pregnancy and raise our children with the utmost care. I just can not believe how many selfish men there are in this world, they just can't or don't know how to treat women with respect. Don't they realize that we are how they even make it to this world of ours. I'm 2 months pregnant and spoke to the father recently and he wants nothing to do with us. I told him that it is fine I will do this on my own. He continued to harass me into having an abortion or giving my baby up for adoption. It's because he's realized he wants to get back with his ex wife and child. I actually told him I am fine with that but I still want our baby. He said I was crazy and that he was driving over to drop off the cash and he actually showed up at my door step. After several text messages to leave me alone. I'm considering having a restraining order put against him because he is starting to scare me a little. Any one have a similar situation occur. He's a real ass and on top of this I asked him how we could have possibly gotten us pregnant and he says he thinks that one of the condoms broke. Nice huh. Thanks for telling me buddy. I want this kid and I'm happy just dissapointed in my situation I would love to offer support to others and recieve support together we can help each other out. Anyone interested?

I am in the same situation. Minus him having an ex wife and child. I am 2 months pregnant and he just can't handle the stress of having a child and supporting it. Men are selfish and you just gotta stay strong. I focus on my unborn child that I am physically supporting and stay positive that way.

Unless you are married to the man, if you are having sex with him be prepared to take whatever comes, and that includes a baby, diseases, getting dumped, and humiliation. A long time ago, much was said about not having sex before marriage. Everyone laughed it off. It's a new age...everyone has sex...well look around...have you ever seen so many miserable, lonely people out there? Have you ever seen so many babies born without fathers, if they are even born at all? Rules are made for a REASON...they PROTECT you. Never ever put your faith in a condom, a man married to someone else, or a one night stand. YOU are the one who is going to pay for it in the end, not the guy. Women today have no self-esteem, so they use sex to get the men they want. This is never a good idea. You want a man to care about you for YOU...not what's between your legs. If you rely on sex to get the guy, you're in for a big surprise, because the guys usually alway marry the ones they RESPECT. So gals, PLEASE start treating your bodies like the temples they are, and save it for the right guy. If not, you're in for alot of heartache. Sex is only an hour or so (sometimes even less!) a day, and not even every day...you still have to keep him interested the rest of the time! I hope some of you are learning a valuable lesson from loving too freely. It's costing you bigtime.

I feel very sorry for you girls who are pregnant without the fathers in the picture. I agree with raven 53 though, you should have known better to have sex before marriage. Just pray that some good man comes into your life and will marry you and will help you raise your baby.

i went through this at a silly age of 15
the farther was 21 but he told me he was 16 and after being with him for 8 months! that was a slight shock to my system
i got pregnant, he left me but then also stalked me
he would not leave me alone
he told me that i had to keep the unborn baby! he said i didnt have a choice in the matter
but what i came to realise is that no one but me has control over my life!
after alot of thinking i started thinking with some sence i had no money, was still at school and hadn't even taken my gcse's also i was far to young
now when i think about it i wish i would have not been such a typical teenage girl and have learnt by other peoples mistakes
but i am happy now have a beautiful 3 year old daughter
and engaged to her farther and even more exiting news i am 28 week's pregnant =]
good luck with the pregnancy
hope all go's well for you and if a man can not take responsabilty for his own actions then he just isn't worth the bother =]

SINGLE PREGNANT STRONGER THEN YOU
first of all -all you women who are repremendeing this women for her not being married should be ashamed of yourselves. i am appalled at your preaching as a reply when this women is seeking encouragement.The fact is she is not married and now she is with child and the man is to selfish to take responsibility.THIS WORLD IS NOT PERFECT!and for you to put down single women with children calling them lonely and depressed-you probly havnt been out of your damn church enough to see the real world of successful single women pregnant and with children doing there best for their child and loving every minute of it! Enough words wasted on your "o so holy" responses. You are doing something beautiful by keeping your child and taking on the challenge of being a single mother despite the fact that the father jumped ship...I am a 20 year old pregnant single women. The father of my child who was my boyfriend of a year literally disappeared.And i dont worry about it because the only thing to focus on when your pregnant is being positive for you little love -that child is yours-they depend on you for life and love-if you have the strength to go through this alone you are an amazing women.As i am. never ever listen to anyone telling you youve done wrong for being a single mother-laugh at their arrogance because they will never know the joy you know of bringing your happy healthy child into the world-Us single mothers are role models of strength in women-the ones who "feel sorry" or preach about us being without husbands are truly pitiful women

I thought this was for support.The damage is done. For someone to come on here and preach to a pregnant woman is ridiculous. Do you not know that she has thought about eveything that you have said before you blessed her with your judgemental comment? SUPPORT is giving a helping hand in the roughest situation. Have you not ever made a wrong decision? We all are one decision away from being pregnant,jail,divorce,etc. A baby is a blessing. So stop making it sound like a death sentence. To the young lady that posted her topic, you will be a great mother. Even if you don't believe so...Say it until you believe it.

thanks Lovinme...i dd not post the topic initially but am kinda in the same boat as her. im depressed and the thot of being a sinle mom pains me. i cr everyday and lay awake at night. i am trying to bestrong for this baby im carrying and I pray that the Lord gives me streangth to carry on. I did not choose tobe in this situation but was forced into having unprotected sex and he convinced me thathe was ready to have this child andloved us both. The situation changed as soon as I found out I was pregnant and for now, hes soo not interested as he has a new girlfriend alreday... and note, we have been 2gether 4 naerly 7 yrs (on/off)
