Just paying a flying visit to the site and didn't want to read and run. If you look back at some of my previous posts you will see what's been happening with me over the last few weeks. Obviously you haven't posted all of your circumstances however I know one thing for sure: you're in the right place if you need support and reassurance.

Lots of love
xxxx

Hi there, I'm 37 and single too. I'm 17 weeks now and feeling good but tired.

 

[louloubelle76]

thanks ladies, ruth will have a read through of your posts, tonight feeling very lonely, i know its just my emotions.

Was with my ex for a month and fell pregnant when we met he said he has finally found someone who he wants kids with, 2 weeks ago we had a fall out and we havent spoken since, I have texted him twice regarding me carrying his child also have wrote him a letter as i want his family history.

 

[Ruth2307]

Feeling lonely is very hard to deal with.

Do you have any family or friends who you can talk to about what's happening?

 

[louloubelle76]

I'm in the same boat hun! I just turned 37, pregnant with my fourth and single. My oldest two are from my now ex husband.....DD16 and DS12. I have an almost 7 month old with a man I was in a serious relationship with. I left him when I was pregnant, as he didn't want the baby. Since Bruce has been born, he's been coming around and seeing him. We briefly tried to work things out, realized it will NEVER happen and split again. Then I found out I'm pregnant again. He doesn't want me to have this baby. Its not easy doing it on your own, but highly rewarding!

i am 35, single and 35 weeks pregnant.
i know how you are feeling, i was exactly the same at the start, feeling scared and confused, even a few tears at bed time.
but as the weeks have progressed, and as i have bonded with my growing baby, i have become so much stronger, and happy. i can't wait til my little boy arrives, and i have no doubt that i will cope on my own.
it takes time, but you will feel it too, i promise x

 

[louloubelle76]

Thank you almeria, im fine until im on my own thinking about things, I hope you right, xx

I am 38 and just found out a few weeks ago that I am 6 1/2 weeks pregnant. The father is my ex boyfriend. We were together for almost 4 years. I relocated to Tennessee for him. He moved out a few months ago and we started sleeping together in June. When I told him, he said that there is no way we can do this. He said he's dating someone else now. He also said that he hasn't told her.. I am completely heartbroken, and feeling alone in a town that I moved to for him! My friends and family are so far away. I told him last week that I'm keeping it. He hasn't called to check on me since! I was already heartbroken over him and this makes it worse! I am scared I won't be able to do this alone or financially support a child. I decided to keep it based on the fact that I'm 38 and want kids. There was never another option for me. I would love advice/ support from anyone. It's scary to feel like your going through this alone.

Hi there,
just seen your post, i am so sorry to here about your situation, you must feel completely isolated.
I live in England, so I can't give you any practical advice regarding finances and welfare, sorry.
I can offer you emotional support though, feel free to PM me and we can chat and I will try to give you some advice and a confidence boost!
Is it possible to move back to your family, it is so important to at least have one person around you that you can rely on. It can feel very lonely and scary otherwise.
In the meantime, is there a mother and baby group near you?
I moved to a new town in a new country when I was 4 months pregnant after I broke up with my partner, I used to live in Spain.
I have one really good friend here and she has a one year old son, but no family live within 250 miles.
I have found joining a local baby group has been brilliant. I have met other new mums, and have learnt so much about babies that I feel really confident with my little one now.
I can't wait until he arrives!!!!
I completely understand your decision at 38 to keep this baby, I felt the same at 35, as i might never have the chance again, irrelevent of my situation.
You will get through this, you wait and see, it will be the best thing you ever did xxxxx

I agree that you should move back home where your friends and family are. Family is super important while you are pregnant and more so after the baby comes. Your ex will still have to pay child support since he did help create the baby. He most likely will want a dna test. It is harder to collect child support when the father lives out of state but it can be done. You can do it... I was 26 and my son's "donor" up and up left when my son was 6 months old and moved out of state it took 5 years to track him down and he now is "forced" to pay. I grew alot in that time. I finished school, moved back home and saved to build a house for my son and myself. I just got married for the 1st time in July. My family was so supportive and couldn't have done it with out them.

Not exactly single - yet. I plan to tell my boyfriend soon. He lives in another state (long distance relationship works great for me) but I'm starting to panic a little. I know he won't move here, and I can't move there. I do have family here, though, but I am an only child, never had a father. I have my mom - she did it, I suppose I can too. Stay strong. (and I'll try to do the same).
