To feel as though I let my baby down?

[sophiagiiiles]

My partner and I split up tonight, I am a few week pregnant and now very overwhelmed. He has said he's not ready for a relationship and wants me to leave him alone. Less than 3 days ago he was talking about proposing and getting a flat.. he says he doesn't want to see me or go to any of my appointments to do with the baby. I truly feel as though I let my baby down by being a single mother at 19...

Oh that's pants
:(
And he sounds awful, to say that he is not interested to come to the appointments etc.

You haven't let your baby down, he has!

All your little one will need is love, the fact that you are worrying about letting him or her down before they are even born, is a sure sign of a good mum , xx

So sorry to hear you are going through this! You have not let your baby down what so ever. It sounds like perhaps he is feeling overwhelmed and needs some space to think. Although the way in which he has communicated is quite cruel. Give it some time. Focus on you and baby. One day at a time.

Sorry to hear this. All your little baby needs is his/her mummys love ❤️ You can do this without the father. Sounds to me as if he is quite immature. Many women do great jobs in raising their children by themselves, you got this! There is plenty of support out there for single mums and I’m sure you’ll do a great job, sounds as though you already care so much for him/her❤️All the best xx

You haven't let anyone down! He is not the first and won't be the last man to walk out on a pregnant woman after promising the earth. If you want to continue with the pregnancy, you can do it! Make sure he provides financially and you surround yourself with supportive people. Do remember you have choices too though. There's no shame in deciding not to continue with it if that's what you decide. All the best. You will be ok. He sounds like he has some serious growing up to do.

Hello, just wanted to say I've recently just become a single mama. I know your situation is different but wanted to let you know you are not alone. Life is flippin hard sometimes, that's what we can take strength from, coming out the other side. Hope you are bearing up ok

You have in no way let your baby down, if you've been led to believe there was a long distance future in your relationship, that's not your fault!
He may well change his mind once he's had time to process everything but you will have so much support whatever you decide. You're being there for your baby and that says a lot more about you than it does him. Hope you're okay

How many weeks pregnant are you?
