Single and pregnant looking for people to talk to

[Babylove2193]

Hi , So I just found out I’m 5 weeks pregnant . Wasn’t plan at all ( we were using condoms ) but I guess we didn’t make a proper use one night and well I ended up being pregnant . Despite being 25 , still a student and living at my parents house ( In my culture you dont actually have to leave your house until you’re married and I get along great with my parents) I want to keep it . However , the father and I weren’t in a serious relationship and I still haven’t figured out how to tell him, or my parents for that matter . I’m just really stressed and wondering If I’m doing the right thing . I guess I would love to talk to other people who are in a similar situation . Thank you

Hi there. You’re still early days so still time to get your head around it. I found out when I was just over 4 weeks and I’m now 25+4! And if I’m honest I’m still omg I’m having a baby. It’s not my first however. But I am a single mum.

It sounds like you will have very supportive parents which is great. Give yourself time and then when you feel it’s right you can talk to them. I think most people question if they are doing the right thing! It’s a huge life changing moment! Good luck! Xx

Your early on Hun at the minute it’s all a shock and something that you don’t know or didn’t expect to have to deal with. I fell pregnant on a one night stand with my first. It’s hard but soooo worthwhile when little one arrives

Hi OP. I am also single and pregnant. I was with my ex partner for many years and we were trying, then after one big argument we broke up. Found out few days later I was pregnant with my first but we never got back together. As much as I am scared and lonely I know I can do this. You are definitely doing the right thing imo and lucky to have supportive parents who can you live with until you get yourself sorted. The father of your baby may well be there for you once you share the news and be a loving dad, and if not you will be fine. We are made of strong stuff us women! It always works out

Hi hun, firstly you are still very early on and it’s all a bit scary right now and as a previous poster has said I still have to pinch myself sometimes but sounds like you have supportive parents which is amazing and when he comes to telling the dad just don’t beat around the bush and tell him, he could be willing to support you but if not your not on your own!

I’m currently 26+1 and split from my partner at 20 weeks. He’s going to be very much involved but we don’t work as a couple. I’m nervous and often wonder how I’m going to cope but I have so much support around me from family and friends and baby has given me this inner strength I never knew I had, it’s crazy and I know we are going to be just fine!

Hello! I'm in a very similar situation me and my partner only got together 9 months ago and I'll be 12 weeks pregnant tomorrow, we are on the rocks and I'm currently staying at my mums. The thought of being a single first time parent is a scary thought! How are you guys coping ? When are you due ? X

I’m now 29+3 and no change in my situation! I’d like to know how @Babylove2193 is doing though! Xx
