What to Do Posted: 09-24-05 19:14pm
I am a single mother of a beatufiul 5 year
old girl who I couldnt love more. I
work 50-60 hours a week and I am 5 1/2
months pregnant. Neither one of the
fathers are around and I cant help but
feel how stupid am i. I had everything
going smooth being a single parent a good
job and then I found out I was pregnant
again! Now that im almost out of my
second trimester I starting having
complications and im out of work living at
home with my mother. Am I crazy or what
im 27 and cant even do it on my own. I
am not aloud to stand to cook my little
girl dinner or pick her up from school.
I feel totally helpless. If I dont stay
on bed rest and do all the things that im
used to doing I could loose this baby and
loose my life as well... Im so
terrified. I didnt think that anything
like this could happen to me!! I have
been so strong through everything the
first time around I just dont know if I
can do it again. What was I
thinking????
Needs advice

Hello, do not feel stupid! We have all
mad choices that when looking back it's
easy to think differently. Please stay
strong for your littles ones sake. Being
a male I cannot give you advice on the
pregnacy things. However I am a working
father of two. One child is from my
girlfriends previuos marriage. I love him
to death.
I do know about working alot too! You
would'nt believe the amout of hours put in
on a normal week for me. Anyway, try your
best to take care of yourself!
Good luck!

Hi,
i really hope things have gotten better
for you. God has specific plans for your
life and although right now that seems
impossible, he does. He knows whats best
for you. That sounds like nonsense I
know, but it is very true. Could there be
a hidden blessing in this? Are you too
busy focusing on the bad to see anything
positive in this? Were the fathers no
good in ways that could have brought you
or your daughter or the new baby down?
Think of the good that is happening even
if it is just seeing your daughter smile
each day or feeling your baby kick.
Start a journal while you are on bedrest.
One day you will be a successful mother
and if you read back on difficult times
like these, you will say aha! So that was
one of the reasons god had me face such
stress or sadness or maybe you won't have
an aha moment, but you will see you got
through it and you stayed strong for your
children. Maybe this is one of the
missions god sent you here for. We never
really know for sure, but I also suggest
prayer. Ask god to open your eyes and
heart to blessings around you.
And you are not dumb!! These children are
gifts and are to be here for a reason and
just think, god chose you as their mother.
What a compliment.
Good luck and god bless.
