Getting overwhelmed.

Im 18 and 36weeks pregnant with my first. Ive been excited this WHOLE pregnancy Im ready to be a mom, but Im not sure im ready to be a single mom. The father and I aren't getting along really, It feels like he's not realizing were gonna have a BABY not a TOY. My famiy has been here for me the entire time and plan on being there for me, but I still feel alone because I want him here and him to help. Am I just feeling silly or do other moms feel this way? Please no one be mean on post.

It's total normal to feel that way. I started to panic when I got closer to my due date and I'm not single. Good luck

Okay good, feel better lol. & thank you  

Eh, even when BD and I were together I did all of the work myself.
It gets hard, but I prefer it this way.

I was a single mom when I had my first and a single mom again when I had my second. It isnt that bad. Yes, you do a lot by yourself. Then again, I am married and my husband is a corrections officer. He works 48 mandatory hours a week and goes to school full time on top of that and pulls overtime at work. I still feel like a single mom. It gets easier once you get a routine down. Just remember...everything needs to be routine or you lose your sanity.

Hey we have the same due date!

Just the other day I was having some contractions while my husband was at work and I txtd him to tell him, and then clarified later that they were calming down so he didn't need to rush home or anything... well instead when he got off work he had a minor "oh crap I'm going to be a dad soon" moment and decided instead of coming home to me to make sure I was all right/ see if I needed anything (which he'd normally do) he went out for drinks with a few of his co-workers... I'm still a little annoyed about it. I know he said that he was sorry and that if it had been real labor he would've of course come rushing home... but it still just gets under my skin :/

So I think it's pretty common for it to hit everyone towards the end that the baby is COMING and SOON!

Yeah we do  
I had minor back labor (or what I thought was back labor) I couldnt even call him, it hit me then that I was really alone in this. Just not 100% sure how to handle things with him at the moment,

Not knowing your situation with BD I can't exactly give the best advice for dealing with him... but I'd say turn to your mom, dad or whatever family member you are closest with when things come up that you would normally tell BD.

I know even being married and madly in love with my husband I still end up turning to my mom more than him, since she's been through this 3 times before and can give better advice and calm me down better than him (since when I tell him I'm in pain/ feel contractions/ whatever I end up having to calm him down)

Yeah things are just rough with him and I. Thank you for the advice, even when things were good with him and I, I still turned to my mom more.
