Single moms who delivered their baby without a father?

Question

Was it hard to go trough the whole pregnancy? Were you scared,,,did you regret it that you kept the baby?

Answer 1

With my 3 1/2 year old daughter my boyfriend left me when i was 30 weeks pregnant after a spell of domestic violence. I had postnatal depression where this didnt help. I was pretty much on my own and felt quite vulnerable and scared in honesty.

I cannot even describe the feeling of love i have for her. I tell her so many times everyday and the fact that she is my best friend and the reason why living is so great.I am so proud of her and the happiness she gives me is amazing and undescribable! They just grow up so quick!

I am 36 weeks pregnant and experiencing a relationship breakdown with my partner. We have bought a house together and i wont have chance to live in it cause we have fallen apart. My pregnancy was a contraception accident and i was on the pill but the pregnancy occured anyhow. I am due to give birth any day says my doctor and i have the situation of doing it all again but this time harder cause i have to be there for two children. I have to be as strong as a mummy and daddy role and i hope i can do it.

I am scared but i can also see that i wont regret having this baby either cause i know from my daughter how much happiness they bring. I feel blessed to have had one and now i have another to double my smiles.

You'll get days with tears and days with laughter and contentment as it is such and overwhelming responsibility but keep your head up cause when you look at your children/baby you feel the luckiest person in the world. It is the left partner who has missed out if it is through choice.

I am most anxious about giving birth on my own and looking at the baby that is a part of the man i love but need to let go of. You are never alone though cause you have your children.

Answer 2

I am 9 weeks, sadly me and my boyfriend just broke up and I talked to my parents about it and they suggested to me that I should tell them that I went to the doctor and they said I wasn't even though I had already told him I was. I did what my parents said. Only because I broke it off with him because he can't take care of himself let alone an innocent baby! I am keeping my baby even though I am 19 and in college! People may think what I have done is wrong, however the more I think about it...it is better for my lil baby. He family is jacked up 3 ways from sunday and they already said if i was they want to have a big part in the baby's life and they can fight for grandparent rights so they can get my baby for a weekend when it is a newborn that wouldn't be safe! People may think what I had done is wrong but I am already thinking like a mother and I'm not gonna feel guilty about it! I will not be scare because my parents are gonna be there to help me along with a million friends. I will always think I made the right decision!

Answer 3

My daughter is in school now and I dont regret a thing. It was hard to be single and pregnant I hated the looks I got being an unwed mother but I have a beautiful baby girl to show for it and I read up on as much as I could so I knew what to expect for each stage of pregnancy, delivery and just babies in general and that helped alot. All you can do is your best and pray to God to handle things for you. Good luck dont give up YOU CAN do this

Answer 4

I didn't regret it for one second, and still don't. My son is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I was freaked in the very beginning, but once I thought about a baby of mine growing inside me, I never looked back. I loved being pregnant and I love being a mom. It's hard to know that I'm the only one totally responsible for him, but there are so many single moms out there now, that it's comforting to know I'm not the only one. I have a great support system - my family and friends are wonderful. I wish I was more financially secure, but hey, I know 35 year old married parents who wish that, so...
You'll be fine. There are support groups out there for single parents - just google it and you'll get a ton of results. When you deliver the baby, they'll probably have a social worker talk to you (it's pretty routine for most moms) and you can talk to her about any questions you have about programs, etc. Good luck to you!!

Answer 5

I'm a single mom now but I was with the father for 3 years after the birth of my daughter. We just broke up a year ago. But I'd like to give some advice. Sure it will be tough as its nice to go through it as a family. But it's still great if you have friends and family to help support you. And about your question about regreting keeping the baby....don't even think about that honestly. I love my daughter to death, even though her father was not the best guy it doesn't matter. She means everything to me, and I couldn't imagine not having her in my life. Trust me when I say you will have so much love for your child that you will most likely only think of the father as a sperm donor. I hope you have a wonderful family and friends to help support you. Think of it as a blessing and congratulations.

Answer 6

I am a single mother and yes, it was hard but I had family there to help me through. No where is it written that you must go through labour alone (from what I heard from some one most partners aren't all there in the delivery room when present any way.) As for regret I made a decision and I stuck by it for better or for worst.

Answer 7

I went threw my whole pregnancy alone. i was not scared at the time about the present but I was scared about the future. So many questions were running threw my mind. I did not regret that I kept the baby. It was very hard financially and emotionally but we did fine. And I love my son.

Answer 8

It was very hard and I was terrified, but I don't regret a thing. Thankfully I had my mother who was there for me every step of the way and has helped me out heaps since having my baby.

Answer 9

Yes, it's tough. I was 16 when I had my child.. no, I don't regret it for a second. My son will be 10 this year. That doesn't mean it wasn't hard but all things that are worth it are hard, right?
