2006-06-08 16:33:38 · update #1
I had very little support from family or friends during my pregnancy. The father was pretty much an azz during the whole time so I gave up on even trying to talk to him. I didn't have the easiest pregnancy either. But I have always been a strong person and thought of it as another chapter in my life. I'm still a single mother it can be hard at times You get tired of being only one handling the problems but then again I like it. I get to make the choice of how to raise my son,
I now own my own house and hold down a great job. My son is a great kid and I get to take all the credit.
My advice is stay strong and always put your kids first. And never feel guilty for taking a night off for yourself. I go out 2 Saturdays night a month. All parents needs adult time with other adults.
I hear negative comments about single mothers. I also hate getting the pity act from others. There are other people in this world who face harder challenges than I do.
Hang in there and you'll be a great mother! =)

Im also pregnant now with my 2nd child(its a girl!), i have a 6 yr old son and i divorced his father when he was 3 months old. i know its not going to be easy but with support from family and a few good friends it will help a lot. I am completely not sure of how my babys daddy is going to be like, but my sons father has never been around and now its been over 3 years since we have seen him so i do not think that my son will even remember him. I am hoping that my daughters father will be a part of all of our lives but so far it doesnt really look like it will happen. my family has been very helpful and i am hoping that will continue with this baby but i guess only time will tell.
as for adoption - i think that would a very hard decision to make because its like giving away a piece of your heart. good luck with everything

If you want to keep your baby, keep it. Just remember that this is a life-changing event with no turning back or second thoughts. This will be living, breathing, person you will be bringing into the world and for whom you will have to sacrifice some of the things you might now enjoy because you're single. You will want to establish a support system...either you're own parents or other women in the same position. Good luck!

I am doing it alone right now. My son is 4 months and I think that sometimes it is better that way. If the guy that got your pregnant doesnt want to be a part of your childs life, dont make him be. And if you havent told him then you are already thinking about doing it yourself. It is very hard to do but if you have friends and family to support your decision I think you will be fine and you have done it before havent you.

My baby's daddy died when she was a baby and I've been single since. Were it not for my parents, we wouldn't have a roof over our heads.
One thing I can tell you from experience, you have to be careful who you date. Don't get involved with any guy just because you're lonely. There are worse things than being alone.

Anybody telling you to give your baby up for adoption because you are a single mom is on crack!
I'm sure its hard if you dont have a good job and a man who is there...helps.
But we women can do it without them, although it does help alot!

I was 2 months pregnant when my sons sperm donor and myself decided to end things. Yes things are bad cause he has not helped out in over a year nor has he ever laid eyes one him. But in the end I know things are going to work out and my child will become a strong loving man who thanks his single mom for all her hard work and love for him that got him where he is.
