for god sake, people here are so judgemental and cynical all the time!!! Just how do u all know that EVERY single mother was a young girl after a house and benefits??? Maybe some are mature, affluent women who would like a child but don't have a regular partner, have u all ever considered that? No, u are all to busy judging! i know of 2 women who have got pregnant with no regular partner, because they were ready to have a child. they are mature and self-sufficient enough to bring up a child and wanted nothing from the father. He could be involved if he chose, but they had enough male members of their family to offer the child a male figure in their lives. the kids are happy and well adjusted. I think u should all watch how u judge people in future lest u all be judged yourself, and u wouldn't like that, would u?

i have never been pregnant but have always wanted to be, i had a couple of one night stands when i was younger and sort of hoped i would get pregnant, but im older now and am in a loving relationship and we both want to have a baby.... i cant beleive how much i used to want a baby when i was younger even if it meant one night stands ..i feel lucky that i never got pregnant back then as i now have a partner who i know will be there for me when i am pregnant!
i think it will be best to have a long term partner before getting pregnant and talking about it before you try for a baby as when you do get pregnant you will be looking after it for a long time!
if you dont think you partner is ready its best not to try as theres no garentee they will stick around after the babys born , hope this helps in anyway !!

Yes this sort of happened to me......
I was 23-24 when I became pregnant, my ex-partner was 25 and I was on the pill......we had been together for 3 yrs but we were still both young, living with parents and it would have fizzled out eventually and we both knew it. Anyway when I got pregnant we tried to make it work, but it was impossible and I had the baby on my own........
She is 6 now and my ex is very much part of her life. He was a sh1t dad for the first 12 months, but now he is great......suppose he just needed time to adapt as men sometimes do. We are still not together but we are both very good parents!

You have to have some type of partner to even get pregnant unless you see a fertility specialist..
When I got pregnant with my son My husband and I had just gotten married and wasn't ready for a baby yet. Well We got ready really fast and I'd do it all over again if I had to choose. I love my son and would of never done anything to not bring him into my life.

2 and a half years ago i was a single mother of one, seeing a guy who told me he didn't want anything serious, just a physical thing. I fell pregnant! I knew straight away i would keep the child, but didn't know what to do about the guy? I contemplated not telling him, just finish what we were doing and he,d never know... in the end i told him, he is now a great dad to our daughter, we are no longer together but thats bacause we weren't in love. it,s all worked out well,

Millions of women across the world are having babies without partners. It isn't just teenage mothers, but adults as well. Women can raise children without men, and they don't need free benefits to do it. You just need willpower, determination, and support from friends. I hope for you the best.

Yes it happened me. I was so not ready.thought my world had ended. i was so afraid when telling my partner. . now im 33 weeks. once i told him he was stronger than me. i really thought he would have walked but he didnt. it brought us closer together. Pregnancy is the scariest but preicious thing i found. my advice is go for it either way. its the best thing that can ever happen you.
