Facing pregnancy alone?

[thedogsrolex]

There seem to be quite a few threads lately posted by women facing pregnancy alone for whatever reason. I was thinking maybe it would be a good idea to have one ongoing thread for support and advice...what do you think? I know it would have helped me way back when I had dd? (apologies if there is already one, I haven't come across it).

xmasevebundle your ex's mother sounds delightful. How come someone be like that and say such things?

Having their family be awful too just adds to the amount of stress you are under. They should be ashamed of themselves.

pickles I did have to rant it i was VERY angry and emotional.. We can indeed, if its anything like before please share. Its funny :)

dating Oh she never liked me, because she thought i wasn't good enough for him. I never cheated or did anything to hurt him but yet its still like that.

She came up to me at the bus stop and said your a c*nt to my son and drove off. Run home cryin and shaking.

Its such a shame because my son wont be losing out SHE will. Over my dead body will touch or hold him.

I didn't go town today :( on the plus my tongue bars came which i'm very happy about!!

Got the job centre tomorrow i'm 22 weeks and apprently i can get a job

Are you feeling better xmas if it's any help I took early maternity at 24 weeks so I could be nearer home. I think it was 24 anyway.

How is everyone else?
I feel constantly sick/am sick. Can't sleep but managing

Pickles - hope you feel better soon.

Hope the rest of you are doing ok

Thanks Skye, how are you doing now? Better I hope x

had a little cry just now. mediation has stirred it all up again for me, plus the fact I could file my decree absolute this week. i just feel really sad again.

I keep thinking that I will never meet anybody else, but I really hope to one day....

You will, One day you will, you deserve too x

I hope so. Trouble is I thought that my STBXH was my soulmate, have never loved or felt about anyone the way that I felt about him. I cant imagine finding that again. But I guess there are different kinds of love and maybe my Mr Right is still out there.

I think its PMT, I seem to have 2 weeks of being on top of the world, then 2 weeks of wanting to cry in a corner, lol.

It is PMT. Mr right is out there he just isn't mr right now. STBXH will be nothing compared to what you get, you deserve the best you know that.
So off you go, get that kettle on, get some chocolate and if you want to have a cry xx

Sorry I am very late to the thread today - after yesterday's DIY bonanza, been out today all day.

Shame about the wobbles and negative moments that are afflicting folks -hormones play a big part in making you feel shit - the enormity of it all can be quite overwhelming, but never forget that the men than have left you with bumps/babies have done just that - left. Left because they are not man enough to be in a relationship, to be a father. Men like that are NOT men that you need.

By all means cry for the loss of the man you think you had, the relationship that you thought you had but remember why it broke up/why he left. Remember that you are worth so much more (echoing Pink).

Think of the baby that you're going to have doting on you. All the things you can do with him/her, how unconditional that love is. :)

I know. Its the advice I give to everybody, that you miss the man he was, or rather who you thought he was. That man is gone now. I even told my twunt that, that that man I loved had disappeared as he had changed beyond recognition. I just need to follow my own advice, lol.

Like most things, easier said than done :)

But every day is a day you have survived, and grown, and developed more the you that you really are. (Sounding very 'earth mother' there, sorry! - been a LONG day and I am footsore and tired).

pickles i do feel a bit better, everythings just a reminder of him even down to hair products.

Think when my sons born i will go out for a fag and just cry. I think he will have his piercing green eyes and look his double.

I cant do that :( job centre are idoits, i do have a lovely women i see every 2 weeks just a shame its his best mate mum. Thats awkward to say the least!

skye thats very true!!

Going to get a tattoo to relate to this part of my life.

Stand for something or you'll fall for anything.

The only way out is through.

Always look ahead, never look back.

I like the first alot but its going to go on my outer right arm. What do you like the most?

Good morning all, how are we? Very wise words notgeoff
Today I'm also feeling more positive, still what nauseous but better.

xmas I shudder at the pain of tattoos.
skye how are we doing?

pickles glad you are positive today :)

I dont think tattoos hurt, got 2 already.

Off to town today, big mac mmmmm.

Thank you xmas good job I
Am in the doctors for my sickness ATM
I'd be way too scared of the pain of a tatoo, however I am now more scared of looking after a small person than I am labour especially after all the news stories lately.

I think labour will be a lot worse than a tattoo!! I can take any pain expect tummy ache i'm a wuss!!

I hate the doctors maybe me feel ikky lol.

Went town had a lovely day tried new marc jacobs dot today!! Im going to treat myself when i get paid.

Hope everyone is feeling okay today :)

Went to the shop to buy fags i am so stressed one will be it. As i walked home my ex drove past and glared at me and my bump. I didnt even lool at him. Waited till i was home until i had a cry then i thought what a idoit!!

Put them down, you don't need them!

I feel like everythings off my chest. I do feel guilty but i'm stressed out and its effecting him more. Just a bit shocked i seen him!! Was about to happen one day, haven't seen him since i was 13w im now 23w.

When i saw him my heart didnt even pound i thought scum and my son kicked.

Came to conclusion he agreed with me.

Weight lifted. I haven't seen mine since 10th June. I feel better every day.

skye how are you today lovely?
notgeoff how are you feeling now? Taking it easy I hope.

How is everyone else?

It does feel that! I am happy that i've seen him so he feels guilty and he keeps his emotions in. Got a big bump. Hes thinking thats my child in there.

Feel proud that when i saw him i didn't burst into tears or was no emotion to him at all.

And i did look very nice today too

See confidence boost

It was!!!

How was your day?
