7 weeks pregnant and newly single

[zebras1287]

I recently broke up with my boyfriend, my baby's father. I am having a very hard time dealing with this because it breaks my heart thinking about going through this pregnancy, doctor appointments and labor alone with no one to hold my hand, experience the joys with or anything-and it's my FIRST BABY. He said he wanted to be apart of it all, but since I moved home, I am having a hard time getting a hold of him. Even if we are not together, I still want him apart of our baby's life. I feel like this is a pain I shouldn't have to deal with right now. It makes me feel so stupid and not good enough. I don't know....I hope something changes...

Any advice? Anyone else go through this? I don't want to feel this sadness anymore for me or my baby

This happened to me at about 9 weeks. Husband left for another woman. I'm having my baby the 17th and Idk if the father will be there. It's all up in the air.

It's painful but YOU CAN do it! You will gain strength every day. It does get better. I promise.

I left my first sons abusive dad when I was 3 months pregnant and this baby I isn't know I was pregnant when I broke up with him

With my first I did ot mostly alone , the appointments arnt bad, most women go alone anyways , and I did labour and birth classes with my mom and my sister and they were my support people, baby's dad was there for the birth but just say their and watched ,

You'll be okay. Having a baby by yourself you have to do twice the work, but you also get twice as much back, you get 100% of the love and rewarding things

FOB and I broke up when I was 16 weeks pregnant, he came to my 20 weeks scan but from there was barely involved, I went to midwife appointments on my own and he wasn't present at the birth, I was lucky to have my mum to hold my hand. It's not easy doing it on your own but you can do this, remember it's all for your baby, focus on that little one. If he doesn't want to be involved that's his loss!

I'm 35 weeks and just broke up with FOB 2 weeks ago. I'm very sad and angry... mostly just dealing with a broken heart and getting over my ex. But while it's scary, I know I can do it and my baby and I will be just fine. And you and your baby will be, too! If you need to talk, feel free to message me.

Hi

I totally can relate to what you are going through. My situation is that I am 8 weeks pregnant with my 3rd baby (my 2 daughters are from a previous relationship... same man for both girls btw). My daughters will be 12 and 14 when this child arrives so I kind of feel as though I am starting all over as it has been such a long time. Anyway this babies father lives in the USA and I am in the UK. We have known one another for about 6 coming up to 7 years and for the first year and a half we were dating but he just could not give me what I wanted and because of the fact that we only saw one another when he came over to the UK for work we ended up going our seperate ways. We reconnected in Jan last year 2012 and we have always had a soft spot for one another.
The only thing is I am now pregnant through me being blazay about BC and thinking ''we only did it once so nothing will come of it'' well boy oh boy was I wrong and when I told him he asked if I was sure if I wanted to go through with it. My answer was a definite yes but I told him he doesn't have to have anything to do with it if he cant handle it. The only thing now is that I am not hearing from him as much so I am assuming that it will be up to me, my girls and my family to provide the love and support this baby will need, but I understand how hurt you feel, because I feel it too. I thought this man cared about me and would do the right thing but its looking more and more like he wont, but anyway like Beyonce says women run the world, so I know you can do it just as I am going to.

Take care and enjoy your pregnancy, I am going to enjoy mine because it is definitely my last one and no man is going to take my joy from me!!!!
