You are not alone, I hope you have supportive family and friends.

Not pregnant yet but planning on it soon by IVF. Takes a strong woman but many do it alone so don’t be afraid. I know it’s not entirely what you want to hear, but if you want to do this, you can. Have you got good friends and family near?

I have 2 kids from the same man.
#1 was planned
#2 was not.
When I told him about the pregnancy he left us. I will not go into details but he made sure I struggle, he left us homeless and I had to quit my job etc etc.

Thanks God he left us. I would have stick with him for the sake of having a family.

He was not interested on the pregnancy or our child.

I turned the bad experience into a positive one. I was 8 weeks pregnant.

I surrounded myself with good people. Started a course, learned how to knit, and still developing myself. I told myself I am not gonna grieve for a cunt. No thank you. He was probably out there chatting some girls whilst I was vomiting and having back pain, get off my face Grin


This is what I go by: If he is such a coward to leave you alone whilst pregnant, he was a waste of your time.

He is the coward and the looser- not you. Embrace and enjoy your pregnancy. Don'tbe afraid to tell your story, I found people compassionate and very empathetic towards me, never once was I looked down or ridiculized.


There's more of us out there than you would expect.

Do I need to say don't add him on the birth certificate? If you want to allow him contact by all means do so but legally you have all saying about your kid.

Just found out I am pregnant and I will be doing it alone. I told the father and he seemed really chill yesterday but today he snapped at me and was in a bad mood. I could get nothing out of it. I totally expected to be fully doing this alone. Have my first midwife appointment tomorrow and I am really nervous about it
