I've recently separated from my sons dad and have now found out that I'm pregnant. It's early days but I know I want to keep it. I'm just so scared of the impact this will have on my future. Of ever getting a good job or finding love again...

How hard is it being a single parent? My ex will help out but I'm unsure how much

I’m a single mum to 4. My ex is absent. It’s hard but doable, I have no family help but still manage. Plenty of single mums have new partners or remarry so it’s not unusual.

I'm a single parent to 4 although first 3 are older I've not spoke to my ex since I was 13 weeks pregnant with my 4th she's now 6 weeks old and he's never met or asked asked about her I just take it one day at a time I'm not gonna lie some days in pregnancy were hard and they were days I thought I'd made the wrong choice I also have no family to help but a few amazing friends think lockdown makes it harder too but plenty of women do it I'm also starting my uni course this year at 36 so u can still get a career and find love
