I have a 16 month old, my boyfriend and i split just after he was born, i moved out and had to take care of him all on my own. My ex was LIVIN IT UP and i had to stay at home and be single and alone, as time went by, i went back to work part time, went out with my friends, lost all my baby weight, sleep through the nights again, i felt on top of the world, great job, great social life, friends etc.
Then my ex wanted me back in his life, he was so nice to me and we got on great, so well, he fitted nicly into my lifestyle, but then i fell pregnant [ AGAIN] and im absolutly gutted, i even feel guilty saying that. He was delighted, and desided to break up with me, its like he enjoys seeing me unhappy, now he is sooo happy, its like im back from the start, i had to leave work because i have really bad pregnancys, i can not go out with my friends, i can not drink, i gained weight well [obviously] and i am stuck in a deep depression. I want him to have this baby and take care of it, but he wants me to stay at home and take care of 2 babies and not even go outside the door. I know in my heart that i phisically can not do this again, i am 7 months and im still not interested in pregnancys, or even having a baby, i feel sick to think how could i be so mean with this baby, but i really can not take care of this baby and i want him to instead, help what should i do, i dont want to give the baby up for adoption

shelby you can cope. i bet if someone told you the first time round that you would end up pregnant and single but would cope fine and get your life back on track you wouldn't have believed them. you are thinking very negatively which is not suprising since the scumbag has done the same thing to you again, but i think you know deep down that you have done it once and you can do it again. the guy is a user, he just came back when everything was back on track and used the fact you have his child as an easy way of getting back into your life. you have made a mistake to get back with him, as they do not change, but your baby should not be punished for it. so many single mothers cope brilliantly and if you use the support of friends and family, you will start to feel better in no time. do not be dependant on this guy, the fact is he hasnt changed, you want him to change but then we all know that people don't suddently change unless THEY want to. focus on the love you will get from your baby and the strength from your family and closest friends.

Shelby, I agree with Cat. If you did this before, you can definately do this again. You just have to be strong. I started having a lot of problems with my boyfriend (well x-boyfriend) about midway thru my pregnancy...and tho I hate to admit it, there were times when I thought about how I didn't want the baby and had negative thoughts, but I realized that the reason I was having those thoughts is because I thought if I wasn't pregnant, things would work out between my X and I. But you can't put your x in front of your baby, which is what I was doing. And once I realized that and realized that he wasn't worth it, I started feeling love for my baby and everything fell into place. It's hard to feel those feelings, especially when the father is around and makes it difficult for you, but all you can do is remember who is more important and hopefully it'll help your feelings come into place eventually. I had problems with depression also..but now I'm 34 works and I'm really doing okay with the fact that the father and I aren't together. I hope everything works out for you. Just remember that you did it once before so you can do it again.
