[Sisi8]

Hi, just joined!i am 19 weeks pregnant, split up with long term partner when we found out i was pregnant as it wasn't what he wanted. Anyway am pretty independent, very excited about new baby- as is my 12 year old!!!! Just joined as I thought it might be nice to meet some new mum friends!! This is my first post so be gentle with me!

Congratulations and welcome! You sound really happy and confident about coping as a single mum and having a 12 year old to help will be great.
Wishing you an uneventful pregnancy.

Hello Sisi :) congratulations on your impending arrival :)

As a newcomer to MN a good place to start is the ante-natal clubs board where you can find people due in the same month as you to talk to.

Happy New Year!
