  • Sorry you're worrying about this. Since you have time, maybe you can find a friend, neighbor, or sitter that can take your son for the delivery.

  • I know easier said than done but try to think of the positives.
    I had 3 older children when I met LO's dad. He was so different than my exh, loved him to the moon and back. We got pregnant 4 months in then when I was 5 months along he cheated and said he didn't want a family. We had moved in with him, I changed my kids schools and everything. So thankfully I still had my place because I didn't want to wreck my lease so we moved back into our place. I was utterly heartbroken. How could a man just turn like that and get rid of the mother of his child like garbage? I still struggle with it every day when I look at my daughter. She'll be 1 next week. I got everything for her on my own and mentally prepared myself that I would be doing it alone. I had to drive myself to the hospital in labor at 5cms dilated after I dropped my kids off at my girlfriends a half hour away. It was a happy and sad day in my life seeing all these new moms with family and their husbands there to comfort them..I had to drive myself home from the hospital with my newborn girl.
    You will just make it work Hun, it's not easy and there will be days where u wNt to give up but you can't so you go on and do your best. You will get a routine down pact and you will look for the days when you get a break but it will come :) one thing that keeps me going is that my kids will be my age one day and they'll ask me about trials and tribulations and I'll have some crazy stories to tell them lol but they'll know their mother did her best!! Don't ever give up on yourself okay?? Life is worth living, seeing your babies smiles are worth that much more.. You will be okay sweetie xo

  • you will make it. I was 12 weeks pregnant when my stbxh dropped his gf bomb on me and 20 weeks when he threw me and my 2 sons out of our home. I drove myself to the hospital countless times in labor and i drove my self home after i gave birth. I along with the help of my 11 year old son take care of things its not always easy, i had to go to the laundry mat and do laundry the day after coming home from the hospital, but we do it and you can do it too.

  • I'm a single mother to a 4 year old daughter and I'm 15weeks pregnant. Sadly I've had to place a protective order against the father of my unborn child bc he's mentally ill And unstable right now. All I've been doing thru this pregnancy is crying and feeling depressed. I feel like I'm doomed. The father of my first child has never been involved in her life so I know what your going thru.
  • mom to a 20 month old and almost 9 weeks pregnant .. all I worry about is being in that delivery room alone ..

  • We are on the same boat. I'm also 16w pregnant with a 3yr old son. Your never alone, even though it may seem like it. There's always your family or even resources at the hospitals that can help you.

    I know the feeling of being overwhelmed and feeling alone. I have 2 of those tshirts. Being a single mom is hard, but at the end of the day you will be so strong and will be able to handle any situation that may come your way.
    Stay strong sweetie and asks your doctor about those resources.
