Please tell me your positive experiences of breaking up with your partner while pregnant.

My ex and I have just broken up. I am thirteen weeks PG, and am scared and worried about how I will cope alone. I am lucky that I have a really supportive family but I'm so upset that life for both me and baby is going to be so different from what I thought it would be.

Has anyone been in this situation and it all worked out?

Anyone?

Yes and you'll be more than fine. You'll love your baby more than you ever know it possible and it'll be better that you don't have some half hearted man hanging about not knowing what to do. The person you really want when you are having a baby is your mum as she'll understand and help you in the best way possible (mine bought me a pram, cleaned my flat and helped me when my child was ill among other things. Congratulations, hope you are well :)

I've been there and am now fine. Asked STBXH to leave while 8 months pregnant with dd2 after finally having had enough of his drinking. We did get back together after a week and managed to stumble on until dd2 was 8 weeks old when I asked him to leave and managed to stick to it. 8 months on and I am much happier than I ever was when I was married to him. I almost wished that I had broken free years before (I wasted 15 years on him) but then if I hadn't stayed as long as I did, I wouldn't have had my 2 beautiful girls.

Yes there have been some hard times. Mainly DD1s meltdowns at the huge change in her home life and DD2s refusal to sleep for longer than 2 hours at a time. Not having anyone to share the burden has been tough. But it's worth it to have peace of mind. My home is now a relaxed happy place rather than a stressed miserable one. I feel 10 years younger and all my friends say I've got my spark back. I've even been in a couple of dates. Life is good again. You can do this OP. You will come out the other side happier and stronger. Good luck and congratulations on your pregnancy.

Well, literally the same, but not quite. I finally had had enough of my partner and split up, then found out a couple of weeks afterwards I was pregnant. As I'm not against abortion, in my case, the decision was made knowing that I would be a single mother. As my Ex was a man-child, I was particularly glad that there would only be one child to rear.
