When I was pregnant, I didn't want to be a single mom, but the situation I was in wasn't very healthy or safe.
Now that I've been a single mom for 11 years, I don't want to get married. My son and I do just fine without a man in the house and I don't want a husband. I make great money so we don't need the financial support, have great parents so we don't need emotional support, and I have wonderful friends so we have pretty much have everything we need. There's too much BS to deal with when there's a man around.
I think that it's okay to want to be a single mom. Unfortunately, many in society don't think it's okay. Single parents are the "downfall" of today's society and traditional Christian beliefs according to these people. Plus, even though there are many of us single parents there are out there, the world just isn't set up for us. (For example, businesses only open during work hours so that the only people that can go are stay-at-home wives.)

It's part of being a woman.
Most say sex is about penetration only ... but reality is, having babies completes the sexual act. When a woman reaches that "Tick-Tock" time is when she realizes that sexuality is more than penetration. Even mothers who reach that age, will get this "Last -Call" urge.
Statistically, looking at the "Invertal Pregnancies" sure, there are lots of women who have chosen to be a single mom.
I myself view marriage, babies, and families as a gift from God; and gifts can be asked for ... but should not demanded nor denied for good living.

I would guess that you are a strong independent person if you are thinking of this. I think we all choose our own path, and if what you want is a child, then it's fine to feel that way. I will say that I'm a single mom (no, I didn't WANT to be - my marriage failed after 7 years...) and it is really hard to raise a child by yourself. If you have a partner, it's easier to have "me" time, which everyone needs. Good luck with your decision
