Pregnancy Info HOME

Count your blessings, my dear. You are at the right age for your first child, you have a job and a stable place to live. Don't think of running away or hiding under a rock. Hold up your head and greet the world with good cheer. He is the one who needs to feel shame. After 7 years you must have a relationship going with his family, and I would think it appropriate to maintain it. The grandparents at least will want to be involved. I pray for your future happiness with your decision.

I know exactly how you feel, I'm 27, just had my first child, and the father took off the second he found out I was pregnant. I won't pretend it was easy doing it by myself, or that I'm not angry, because I am. That being said my daughter is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me and I feel sorry for her father because he is missing this wonderful gift that I've been given. You can do this, you just have to believe in yourself.

I completely know how you feel. I am 9 months pregnant and have done this single all the way. the faher and i broke up before i discovered i as pregnant. we talked about getting back together twice but he just kept running away and it never happened. My first appointment with obgyn my x told me he would come he avoided talking to me until 2 am that morning and he never showed for the appointment. Its not easy, but everytime you feel lonely and sad try to think about your child and even years down the line the love youll share with them.
remember sometimes the best father for your child isnt the biological one. hopefully once your child is born they will have a relionship, but just remember that.
try to count your blessing... a great job thats good. Your 27... Im 32 and this is my first too! i figure i aint getting any younger. thank the Lord for the ability to be a mother. this tuff time will pass and soon our children will be here sharing our love.

Also try to connect even if by phone with as many of your friends and family that are supportive of your pregnancy. it really helps espiecially when your single... my best friend flew over 1000 miles away to see me and threw me a baby shower. The love and support was amazing and really helps.
