I have a Facebook friend who I went to school with. She has two very young daughters, one with very serious health concerns who recently had heart surgery. It's always been off and on with the dad but about nine months ago they reunited and she got pregnant, they split up soon after. She knew all the way through that this child will also have heart problems and be in hospital a lot. Her third is due to be born any minute now and she's really excited. I think she's incredible as I don't think I could be really really excited in her position. My horribly negative thought is how can anyone be really really excited about having to do something on your own which will be so hard? Babies are lovely but I think I'd be terrified. Am I really bad for thinking this?

I get what you are saying. I used to know someone who had 6 children by the same guy. Every time he split up with her while she was pregnant and he would deny said child was his. Every time! It seemed insane to me - but - she was an amazing mother and her children were her world. But yes, if it was me, I would be terrified. It takes a braver woman than me.

@Raffles1981 exactly. My mum had me knowing she was going to be raising me with no contact from my father. I'd be terrified.
