Alone and scared

Me and my DP have just had a massive row and finished things. It has been a reoccurring theme during my pregnancy- him not listening, not helping and then playing the martyr. I'm sure it's the right decision but the idea of going alone scares me. I've a DC from previous relationship so am able for another child it's the birth that scares me. We nearly didn't make it last time and now I feel very alone. I'm in severe pain at random times and have had bad morning sickness that led to me being unable to see/eat/stand. I'm minding that with medication but realistically I've another four and a half months to go and survive before I get to a point I'm ok. How do I realistically do this whilst caring for my DC? I'm trying to be pragmatic but I feel so alone and a failure

So sorry to read this, it's natural to feel scared but you will be fine. Firstly you are not a failure , please erase this from your line of thinking. It seems daunting now as there is always comfort in being in a relationship when pregnant. You have shown hear strength in realising that even though you are pregnant you do not have to put up with a partner who doesn't appreciate you. We are all here for you.

Thank you for your kind words its made me cry. I feel so overwhelmed and think should i terminate? Sorry for saying it so baldly. I'm trying to balance what I can deal with and my existing DC. What if this time I don't make it? My DC then have no mother. How do I know what the right decision is?
