My boyfriend bailed about 1 week ago so I'm doing this alone. I know it's not impossible but I'm going to need lots of prayers. God doesn't give us anything we can't handle, eh?! Thanks ladies.
I know a few single mothers and it's definitely tough, but they are some of the best moms I know. Get yourself a good support system (friends, family, etc) and you WILL be just fine :-)

I'm so sorry you have to go through this, but you'll make it!!
"For a long time there were only your footprints & laughter in our dreams & even from such small things, we knew we could not wait to love you forever."
The strongest mom i know is a single mom. She is amazing! Surround yourself with good people and you will be ok. Lots og good thoughts coming your way.
Be strong. You aren't alone. This is a great place for suport and advice. I know so many single mothers that are AMAZING mommies and very very happy. Its hard dealing with that I am sure but you may just be way better off because facing this miracle alone may be easier than facing it with an unhappy/unhealthy relationship in tow.
You life is this little baby now and something tells me thats all you are really going to need.
Will do, dear. I'm sorry for your situation. Hopefully you have supportive friends & family. You always have us )
Do you know what you're having yet.. I'm due October 17 and just found out it's a boy!
I will find out in about 4 wks. It will be a little bittersweet as we were supposed to have a big celebration but I've already enlisted 2 of my best girlfriends to be with me instead so hopefully that will help.
I've been where you are as a single-mom-to-be and know that it can be scary as heck! However, know that you can do it on your own and that you are going to find strength within yourself in the next few years that you never knew existed! I know it's hard to think this way at a time like this, but consider yourself lucky that the jerk bowed out early. It is so much easier going into motherhood knowing where you stand with the child's father as opposed to thinking they'll be there for you and then having them change their mind once the baby has actually arrived!
There were times I wanted to give up, but I'm glad that I didn't. It's been 5 years since I had my daughter. I have since finished my Master's degree, started a great career, met and married a wonderful man who loves my daughter as his own, and now I'm having a baby with someone who loves me and wants to be a father! Life has a way of working these things out! It will do the same for you- don't give up hope or lose faith!
My thoughts are with you! You will find a lot of support here, hang in there. I admire you massively for keeping a positive attitude and staying strong.

That's a great attitude to have. I know sometimes it's probably really hard for you, but if you keep this in your mind, anything is possible. Good luck!
you will do great! it's better he left now so you can figure things out, than at 9 months. Take it one day at a time. prayers and hugs are on their way.

You will be in my thoughts. Feel free to come on here if you ever need some support. The ladies around here might be called a lot of things, but we come together when someone truly needs a shoulder to cry on. Good luck, and stay strong.

Stay strong for your baby! You can do it...and when you feel like you can't, look up that baby-making freak of nature Heidi Klum, whose BF ditched her when she was 5 mos pregnant with her first LO. Look at her now, babies everywhere and the best sex of her life with that Seal. You will get through this and your life will go up, up, up!

I totally agree. Keep your head up and I will be praying for you.
