Hi Choccypuddin. This is more or less what happened to me too. Baby wasn't planned but was very much wanted by me. Not the same for my ex. He basically told me we have a chance together if you get rid of the baby, but if you don't we have no chance. I choose the baby. He came round for a bit but then decided he wasn't ready to be a dad and that was that.
My pregnancy wasn't at all what I hoped it would be. Lots of stress, worry and uncertainty. Didn't even have a home or a job at that point. But the hormones kicked in for the last 6 weeks and I was on a natural high despite it all. Plus I got a temping job which kept me busy till baby arrived.
The first few weeks aren't too bad. Lots of visitors, midwife, health visitor, weekly post natal class to go to. It got me out the house though some weeks it was a struggle to make it. Try and go along if you possibly can, you might meet some friends and be able to support each other as your baby's grow older.
9 years down the line things are tough and I'm still on my own. Very little support. Was at home for the first 5 years but when my ds started school I went back to work. Am better off now financially but nowhere close to comfortable. Also have no opportunity for a social life due to lack of funds, can't afford babysitters and have very few friends. Everything revolves around my ds. He's wonderful though and is what keeps me going through each day. I'm all he has after all.
We have good days and bad days. But I've got this far. You will too.
Keep strong. Your baby needs you. Don't be afraid or be too proud to ask for help. And make sure you take time out to enjoy your baby. Housework can wait. (Mine's going to be waiting at least another 9 years!)
Best wishes
Gilly
