Pregnant and suddenly realising how alone I am,

My DP has been crap throughout pregnancy. He’s going to be in Asia for the first four months, ‘might’ be back after that but doesn’t know. I sense the relationship will ultimately break down.

I suddenly don’t want this baby.I am going to be so alone. I don’t want any of it. If I had a termination I would be 21 weeks and I just can’t. I don’t know how to get over this, I won’t have a life at all will I? I feel like I just will not cope at all.

You need to talk to people in real life OP.

Your DP isn't a help so get shit of him for a start.
Life with a child needs a bit of order and reliability, he isn't that so will cause more harm and stress than anything else.

If you choose to keep the pregnancy, and it is your choice, you will absolutely have a life with a baby. It's not the same life you maybe have now, but it is a life.

It can be a hard life.. but it can also be a wonderful one, a hilarious one, a poop covered one, a loving one, a satisfying one, a gratifying own, a magical one.. though not always an instagrammable one..

Find a person in real life you can talk too. A mum, an aunt, a health worker from the baby clinic or GPS office. Anyone that has been pregnant or that deals with pregnant women on a daily basis will have seen exactly what.youre going through, so don't feel alone.. ❤️

I'm a single mum and I'll tell you the early years are the hardest. When they are really little your support network really matters.

If you really don't want to keep the baby and can't terminate then consider adoption.

Having children changes your life forever so you really need to work out whether this is what you want or not. Talk to people you know and trust in real life.
