Pregnancy

[crystal2001]

So I'm currently 38 weeks pregnant and my partner has left me, any advice on how to cope, I'm really not doing well with it and want to know how others coped 😔

Why has he left you?

That is so sad, I’m really sorry. Had you been together long? What a time to leave you.
I know it’s hard but try not to let this take over what would usually be a happy time as it’s important you feel safe and supported at the moment and that this overshadows your baby’s arrival and bonding as little as possible , do you have anyone else close you can lean on? Has he explained why and is it permanent?
Hopefully others will be around with advice and I totally get you feeling like this as it’s an awful thing to do when you are at your most vulnerable. You can do this, and you’ll get a lot of help here too hopefully and find others who have coped and found strength too x

Why has he left you?

Truthfully, he hasn't given me a valid reason he just left with no explanation.

I know what your going through. I actually gave birth at 38 weeks to my first child without my partner there. Separated in pregnancy. It was extremely heart breaking. My mum/family got me through it.

This is a crucial and very sensitive time for you. If he's left for whatever reason you need to but the aside and think about your delivery which can happen any moment tbh. Have your hospital bag ready, have someone who's going to be your birth partner of your partner is not going to be there. My advice is if your going through a difficult time with your partner, tensions are high, don't let him be there. Labour and birth is a very sensitive and vulnerable time and you need someone there you will get positive energy and support from. No matter how heart breaking or unfair it will feel. Surround yourself with friends and family right now. Just focus on getting g through labour and delivery smoothly and the deal with him later.

Obv I don't know what's happened or your story but realistically based on your situation, do you think he's coming back or it's permanent?
How long were you together? Do you both have other children?

Also to answer your question on how I coped. I didn't. My body and mind just went into autopilot. It was a very heartbreaking time. The hurt I felt after I gave birth alone was indescribable. Also he was my husband ...
I will never forgive him for not supporting me properly during that time and putting me first. Another reason I was able to cope is because I had full support from my family. 1 year later I still hurt badly when I think about it.
