Answer 2

First of all well done on making the right decision that you can't be around horrible people at this time and it is especially hard when this person is the father of your baby. Im in a similar situation but i have mug written across my head and put up with it! I wish i was as brave as you!!! As the nicer days are coming in why don't you just take a walk, you don't have to go far but it gets you out and the chances you will bump into him are slim. Now you are expecting why don't you have a spring clean it makes you feel refreshed by getting rid of anything you don't want! Any way hun im proud of you i wish i was more like you congratulations with baby xx

You need a pampering session babe! Get yourself to a nice spa for the day (if you can afford it) and they'll advice you on all the pick-me-up treatments.

If you cant afford that, go to somewhere like the Body Shop and grab loads of nice bath oils, facial scrubs, masks and lovely things to cheer you up. Just spend the day relaxing and pampering yourself, like do your nails, do your hair, watch a chick flick and eat some yummy foods.

Or as bizarre as it sounds, go to the gym. Some gyms do specialist classes for post-pregnant women, and some instructors are specially trained to help advise on what exercises you should be doing. It'll release shed loads od endorphines and you'll feel fab about it.

Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy xxx

First of all, you shouldn't hold your head down because you did a very responsible thing breaking up with a man who wasn't a nice person and you and your child deserve to be treated nicely. Never feel badly about doing the responsible thing.

Put on some of your favourite music, if it's punk or psychedelic or rap, not too loud as the baby can hear it as well. Find soothing lullabyes or gentle music that will lift both your and the baby's mood.

Watch funny tv shows/movies to make you laugh even though you may want to cry.

Find positive affirmations to say about yourself and say positive warm caring things to your baby so that he/she knows he/she is loved and wanted and cared about.

If you can start working on your baby book or a scrapbook where your friends , your parents, your siblings write positive things welcoming the baby into the world.

If you knit or crochet make items for him/her , it'll relax you.

Good luck and welcome little one into the world.

Answer 5

Only you can make yourself feel bad, not someone else. Your boyfriend is simply that, a boy, not a man. He is not worth you feeling terrible. You are probably better off without him if he is going to make you feel like you can't even go out in public. You need to keep your chin up and not worry about him or what he thinks. Go out with a group of gal pals and have fun. Go play miniature golf or something else fun. Remember you are beautiful because you are carrying a new life that will give you much more joy than your boyfriend ever could.

Answer 6

Invite a few friends over ask them to bring chocs magazines loads of dvds an have a day of fun with your mates if any can stay that will be nice to keep you company an to have a good old chin wage always makes me feel lots better when iv got the blues , PS hope you feel better soon x

Answer 7

think of your time with your baby!! bringing a child up with a partner has the obvious benefits, but it is also annoying having different opinions on raising children!

do you have a good group of friends who can rally round? any pets? could you drive out somewhere your ex doesn't know and go for walks with a dog, it's a lovely time of year to get out doors!

if you're scarred of bumping into him, could you got out with friends of family? it's a shame to stay in doors in the spring

Answer 8

Don't hide yourself away inside!! So what if you run into him somewhere!? Hold your head up high - he's the jerk! Go out and buy yourself something, give yourself a treat. Or buy something nice for the baby. Do you think he's hiding himself away inside so he doesn't run into you? NO! Go live your life and enjoy being pregnant. He's the one who will be missing out - not you.

Answer 9

awww love you it want be long chick just think you wont be pregnant forever. As soon as youve had baby get out and enjoy yourself. My partner was an *** when i was pregnant and i got soooo stressed out. Try to relax and look forward to when baby comes and when you can have a good nite out.

Answer 10

1) organise the nursery
2) write a list of baby supplies and cost
3) go out with your mates loking pregnant and fabulous in hot Topshop maternity outfit when you know you'll bum into him! Watch his jaw drop
4)Sleep, you wont get much more of this!

Answer 11

pick a hobbie and work on that. you won't have much time when the baby comes so find something that you can look back on and feel proud of. draw, write, instrument, read... it is good that you dropped the b/f before the baby comes. the baby will take your mind off everything. good luck.
