I'm the mother of a 15 mnth old and just found out I was pregnant again. My fiance left me and therefore, I will be raising 2 children on my own. Any advice to get through the emotional and mental stress.

I know this probably isn't what you want to hear right now but hit his butt up for child support now because it's a pain in the butt process and if he just left you straight out of the blue then he's probably going to be good about not helping with the kids later on also. But also join mom and baby groups, chat rooms, get as much help from friends and family as possible and don't blame yourself just be the best mom you can possible be and everything will work out in the end. Good luck if you ever want to talk go ahead and email me.

Family and friends are always a great support group. But if this is not enough or is not an option then you may want to search for support groups in your area as you are not alone.
One site we found helpful when expecting our first child was www.babycenter.com We used to ask many questions in the forums and everyone is very helpful. They may also know of a support group in your area.
We hope this helps.

Accept help from people who love you. Let people know when you need help, but don't be a user. Be friendly and outgoing so you will have lots of friends to talk to. Join groups of mothers so there will be others that are going through what you are going through.

Chis O has some wonderful advise!! Also, take everything one moment at a time. When times get tough, just focus on getting through that very moment.
Best wishes!

Lean on your family and friends, if you are like me, friends dont come easily, but the ones that you have are true friends and will be there to assist you in a time of need. I wish you the best and congrats on your baby to be!

OMG go to Dss and file for child support for starters then accept the fact that you are having another child, if that is what you choose to do. Then get on Birth Control because you really don't need another child no time soon.
