Lonely, single and pregnant. What do I do?

I'm three months pregnant and so lonely and hurting a lot right now and I just don't know what to do or how I'm going to make it through the rest of the pregnancy feeling so unhappy.

My partner left me three weeks ago and has blocked me on everything since, I have had no way to contact him to even let him know about scan dates or anything pregnancy-related. He's come off all social media and blocked my numbers. I'm really hurting because I love him a lot and I feel so alone.

I live miles away from my family and friends due to moving in January and I live alone. I work from home also due to chronic illness so I don't really leave the house or see anyone.

I don't know what to do, or how to cope with all of this. I'm trying to stay as strong as I can but it's hard when I feel so alone.

I know I'll be going through this pregnancy without my partner and I'm still coming to terms with it, I just feel so scared and abandoned.

What can I do to help?

Is there any chance you can move home?

lostandconfused2 · 06/10/2019 21:49

@Starlight546 I can eventually but not right now, there's not the room at my parents' house and I am in a contract with my landlord and I own animals too, so right now I'm stuck here.

You poor thing.

You need to focus on yourself now. Forget about your ex except for claiming child support
Is moving back home a possibility? ? Having RL support would really help you. Id focus on that

Will your chronic illness put you at risk during pregnancy? Could it worsen? Would you be able to get out to shop etc when you are eight months gone and need food?
Is this really something you can do on your own?

Does he know you are pregnant? Were you supposed to be on the pill or something and he thinks you stopped deliberately or something disrespectful and that’s why he’s not speaking to you? Did you previously discuss kids and he said no? Is he young and trying to run away from responsibility? Is there a backstory to this?

No, it will not interfere with my pregnancy it only restricts me being out for long periods of time.

Yes he knows, we have known since 4 weeks. He left because he wasn't happy. He said he wanted to be there for the baby but I haven't heard from him since. @elieza

I’ve been through this, sadly I don’t think it’s that uncommon. my ex did this to me and has still has nothing to do with my dd who is now 2, it is very lonely but you can’t force him to be a dad so please don’t try, just focus on you and your baby. You won’t be able to claim child support until baby is born but seriously just forget him you can’t make him be around and he will only walk in and out of your child’s life when they are born which is more damaging so it’s probably best he has gone.

Can you join a local NCT or similar class? May help get to know other parents in the area
