Single mum again!

[Weedebs3]

Hi all looking for some positives to my rubbish situation. I'm 8 weeks pregnant with my 3rd which me and my partner planned, we had split up and I found out I was expecting the following week we then gave it another go. He told me he wanted the baby wanted to be there for me and be a good father and then he left again after 3 days went back to his ex and is now telling me he wants me to get rid of the baby. The pregnancy hasn't been great I've had a few bleeds so had lots of worry with that but early scan shows baby's fine but im feeling so alone! I've done it on my own with my other 2 but it's scary thinking of going through pregnancy and birth on my own

You will be fine he sounds like an arse and I'm sure you'll be better off without him if he's like that, and better to come to terms with it now rather than nearer when baby's due. I was on my own through it all and had my mum at the birth which was lovely, do you have any family/friends who would be your birth partner and help with childcare for the other two? Remember to take care of yourself too

Aw thank you, just full of worries at the moment mixed with the heart ache of hearing "just get rid of it" don't think guys realise it's not as easy as that for mothers to just walk away. I know deep down I'm better off without him, he played my heart good then broke it Yeah my sister and close friends have been really supportive so I know they will be there for me for the birth and to help with childcare I just hate relying on people as I'm really independent lol x

You will be fine and better off on your own. Make a birth plan - ask a friend or your mum to be your birth partner and make plans for someone else to care for your dc. Whoever you ask as a birth partner will be honoured. I went through 7 months of pg alone with dd2 and my mum was at the birth for it. It was fine. Dd1's best friend's parents looked after her and I had nothing to worry about x
