im 35 weeks pregnant about to drop anytime lol and her dad has not been about since i was 12 weeks he decided to run into the arms of someone else and shes got a baby whos 1 of her own. I feel angry towards the birth at him and wonder how others have got through situations like this.

That's hard. I'd feel angry too if I were you. Do you have someone you trust to attend the birth with you? What a loser - you and the baby are better off without IMO. I know it will be a hard journey but it's possible and I'm sure you will be great at it! xxx

I think it is best to find out before the birth that the father is an idiot, rather than later on. I broke up with ds's dad when I found out I was pg, had no contact with him until ds was born, then two visits. Haven't seen him since and it is fine, I am happy, ds is happy, much better IMO than someone who is around sometimes and just mucks you about. It is hard but if you can get support from your mum you will be absolutely fine.

exactly the same happened to me 18 years ago and i was really angry at the time.
on the plus side my son 18 in november has never seen his tosser dad and has not gone without anything,doing well at college and i spent the best time ever with my ds as a single mum.
i look at him now and know i was the person who gave him life,provided for him,taught him right from wrong,wiped his snotty teething nose,watched him take his first steps and it was down to me.
enjoy your baby and keep strong any man who leaves pregnant woman is an arsehole.
good luck it will be worth itxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
