Single Mom, Anyone really understand?

To night i an being induced, my parents drove me here and my mother was kind enough to stay the night but does anyone else know how it feels just to be walking down the hall and sitting in the room without that one person that help creat this amazing baby, and no have him here and feeling all alone even tho you have family and friend around you its still not the same, i found out i was pregnant at 19 weeks and 3 weeks later my babys father left, even tho i know its for the best it still kills and i honestly would not want him around my son and me,
but it just that alone feeling.
anyone else know what i mean?

Nope, but I'm sure I'll be finding out in April.

My mom, his mom, and his sis will be there though so zfg. I will have a calmer birth without him there pissing me off.

All you need is your mama anyway! I had my mom in the room with me with my daughter and she was my rock and WAY better than my kid's dad

Thank, my sons father will not be in life at all for my sons own safety.
Just feel alone.

I kind of had the same experiece with my ex-husband. Except he was there but I found out about his girlfriend while in active labor. I asked him about it nicley but when he felt the need to talk to her on the phone as I'm pushing I told him to get out. Turns out it was the best thing he had ever done for me! Keep your head up. A family does not have to be mom, dad, and baby.

I am now remarried to an amazing man and expecting again. Oh and he has taken on my other two kids as if they are his. My point is don't ever settle for anything less then you deserve. You'll be alright. It will be hard, but you will make it through and it will make you love your baby that much more. Good Luck Momma!

With everything that has happened (he is in prision for next 10 years)
But i just feel alone thru all of it, idk if it was bacuse everything he told me was a lie and i was stupid enough to believe it, but he is gone out of mine and my sons life for good, and idk how i could meet another man and trust him.

You learn to trust again. It takes time. I'm not going to lie sometimes my insecurities still come out. You just manage the best you can and go from there. My best advice wouldbe to not worry about finding someone new and concentrate on your baby for now. When I filed for divorce from my ex husband our daughter was 3 weeks old and our son was 15 months old. I also used that time to go back to school. I dated before I met my current husband, but when they would try to change me I would leave. It had to be someone who would take me for what I am, and not try to mold me into who they want.

My husband will tell you his favorite quality in me is I have my own mind. Something that alot of men don't like because they cannot control u when your mind is made up you aren't going to take no smurf.

As a result of it not letting my ex ruin me. I graduated on Dec. 8 th with a bachelors in Special Education and I'm due on Jan. 15 with my second baby boy.

My life was hell that first year my daughter wass born. I didn't know if I'd make it through, but I did.

sort of, i got threatened by my babies dad when i told him i was pregnant, then i found out he was on the sex offenders register for 3 accounts of having sex with a child under 14, then i found out he lied to his parents and told them i was lyying and my baby was nothing to do with him, it all really hurt at the time, obviously i didnt know about the sex offender thing otherwise i never wouldve been with him, ive kinda come to terms with it now, but i keep finding myself wishing i had a nice little family and someone that loved me like a lot of my friends, i know im better off and so is my little babba but i had to go into hospital a few weeks ago at about 23 weeks for pains and losing some of my mucis plug, they sent me up to labour and delivery to be checked and i was on my own  like literally everyone had their partner with them and i was alone, thats when it really hit me, that sucked, my mum was at work texting me ready to head down if there was anything wrong but ive never felt so lonely, she will be there at the birth though which im so glad about, shes my rock and im glad i can share it with her

Thats almost same happened to me with i found out i was pregnant then 3 weeks later i find out he was sleeping with my roommate 15 year old daughter and he ended up have 4 account of the sex crime well, after i found out he went to jail and is now serving 10 years with no chance of
Early release

I did it all alone with my son and I was completely fine with it.
Yeah it's sad and everything but smurf them, they aren't worth the tears or time.
MY entire world was born and I couldn't care less about anyone else.

Yes, i left my sons dad before i found out i was pregnant . After i found out i was pregnant he ended up in jail. i went through my whole pregnancy without him & labor & delivery .. it honestly didn't suck as much as i thought it did because i was so occupied and wrapped up in the whole idea of getting him out and was just too excited to be down and sad.. but i do wish you the BEST OF LUCK!

My children's father was there for our daughters birth, but we've been separated since I was about 4-6 weeks pregnant. I've gotten some weird looks and sympathies when I'm alone or with my mother for appointments. I'm nervous about how the hospital experience will be alone. I'm just trying to set up a good support network and make sure my friends know that YES, I need help, and if they want to help, I am more than ready to accept that!

If anyone could help me with legal advice about birth certificate naming the father not something I'm going to do But is there options to leave blank or unknown
I broke up with my bf possibly my baby's bio father whos in the us army there will be a DNA test involved but I am now looking at what I need to do an can do as a single mom there's reasons for my decisions I will not say publicly because lack of proof . It's better he not be in our lives

I have been there. I remember I did not actually miss my son's dad per say but i missed what could have been and should have been in my mind. You will still have periods like that especially when your baby does a first but with time it does get better. It may never fully go away it may sneak up on you like maybe at your baby's graduation or wedding but it will only last for a split second and then you will be like what made me think of that. Its normal

I know exactly how you feel. My BD left right when he found out I was pregnant. I was 17 . I got induced the day before my due date. None of his family was there, he wasnt there. The day she came even though he treated me like crap through my pregnancy I was still upset because he wasn't there for the first few minutes of my daughters life. And knowing that he wasn't there he missed out on a ton of things.
