Anyone pregnant & single?

Question

If you are pregnant and single (or have been) how did you cope with being alone during the pregnancy. My babys father got back with his ex a month after he found out i was pregnant. Sometimes i get really sad and cry that i don't have anyone to share the experience with. how did you deal?

I am so sorry to hear about that, but to be honest you don't need him...My son's father left me when he found out I was preggo my son is now 4 and never seen his natural father at all.  I just keep saying to myself...my son nor any child needs in their life any man that doesn't want to be with their mother and them.  You shouldn't even want him around your father if he can walk off that easy and be with another girl he's just a dog and jerk.  So don't be sad it's okay to cry sometimes, but just remember you child will need you more than anything and just be a mother to your child and forget about that guy.  I dealt with it by accepting it and got over him...Say this to yourself everytime you start to feel sad and cry..."I CAN DO BAD ALL BY MYSELF"..  You don't need him...we are strong as women and man is the one that needs us.  Worry bout you and your child right now...There will come some man that will love you and your child more than this guy every did...Honestly can't call him a man, guy...he is a child, you don't walk away from your child...he walked away from his child and that is what you should remember, born or not HE walked and turned his back on his child.  Sweetie you will be okay it's gets better day by day...there is always heartach and pain, but be strong and just remember "YOU CAN DO BAD ALL BY YOURSELF".  Don't let no man bring you down at all you just stay strong sweetie.  Respect yourself and your child and know you are worth everything and he didn't see it...YOU DIDN'T LOSE ANYTHING...HE LOST EVERYTHING...A GOOD STRONG WOMAN AND A CHILD OF ALL THINGS....YOU HAVE WON...BELIEVE IT AND TELL YOURSELF THAT EVERYDAY...It'll be okay mama

Sorry to hear that, but right now you need to focus on being happy and well for the sake of you and the  baby. I know it gets lonely sometimes and you feel miserable at other times, but all these obstacles we face in life makes us a stronger person.  (even though we may question, why...these life lessons serves a purpose that we may see now, or 5 years from now...)

That is his lost if he thinks his social life is more important than the life of his baby. I hope he knows Karma is a bit*ch.

I was lonely at first, but when i ran into a old ex of mine, we have been so close ever since. Maybe you should join a class, or read books. You could even pick up a hobby, something that lifts your spirits. I am not sure about your family situation but it is good to become closer around with your  family and friends right now, at least you will never be alone.

Good Luck and congrats!!

Glad to see i'm not alone here! i'm 10 weeks and the father pretty much did a runner within a week of finding out... It's pretty depressing i know... plus i dont get along with most of my family so i'm really alone. If you have a good relationship with your family, use them as your support network. I'm mainly worried about giving birth all by myself, that would be awful! So i can't really give you much advice but i can definately empathise and feel free to add me through here too if you want :)
