Q: Pregnant And Alone!

I never pictured my life so dreary and alone. My boyfriend and I had been trying to conceive for about a year since he was told that he was unable and now im pregnant, 9 weeks! Since we found out, we've done nothing but fight, and now i feel that we were careless and reckless and this is one of the biggest mistakes of my life. I dont think we will work out, and i don't want my child to grow up in a broken home. He says i need to try harder, but there are alot of things i cannot overlook anymore. I would never consider aborting, and I keep thinking of all the hardships and difficulties i will be faced with once the baby is born being a single mother. Like custody, bills, mortgage, caring for the baby, and blah blah... I dreamed of being a mother my whole life, but not in this situation. HELP! I've never felt so messed up in my whole life. Sad

I'm sorry you've found yourself in this situation. If things don't work out, don't blame yourself and don't feel sorry for your child. A child would rather be from a broken home than live in one.

We have quite a few single mothers on these boards that can give you some great tips on supporting yourself and your child. Two of them live in .canada, as well.

Just try to stay positive and know that you can do this. Your child is very lucky to have you.

Feel free to join us on the .pregnancy boards! I hope to see you there. Wink

I am dreaming every day of having a beautiful woman and pregnant like you every day and yet your man he has all he can dream of you and your baby and he is not happy I find it hard to understand.
Well if you need a good man I am one of them even just as a friend.
Not for sex but to just to know what it is to love something I hope for every day.
I truly hope that you keep the baby and be at peace with your man and your self. day agapax@gmail.com Galia

hey darling. I'm sorry about your situation... I'm 32 wks and single, and I know it's really hard when you picture things going one way and they just twist into this frigged up reality.
It will be hard to be single raising a child... but you have to truly consider the child. Is he better off with this guy?
It's very hard and very unnerving but you can definately do it , it just takes a little bit of extra planning and support from those around you.

I hate when you see women completely miserable, unhappy and so on that stay with these men just because they are the father of their child or they don't wanna go it alone...
You'll be fine no matter what you do but believe me, I understand the stress!
Pm if you ever feel the need...
good luck and congratulations.
