I have 8 weeks till my due date I already have a 3 year old he goes nursery in the mornings as my delivery date gets nearer I can't help but wonder how the hell ill cope or even will I cope being surrounded by people who have children and new babies they all do fine but they have there child's father around nervous
Yep, you'll be fine. We're all fine with no BD's around. It's a little scary at first but you can do it. One day at a time. You'll probably be so sleep deprived your brain won't even be able to think about thinking about it. We're here if you need to chat.
I'm nowhere near 8 weeks away (18.5 wks preg), but I just registered for childbirth classes, which I will be attending alone. I was so afraid for so long to even look these up, and think about having to go it solo. But I did it. Obv I cried a bit, but... here goes! Sigh.
I'm sure I'll regret saying this, but I'm looking forward to being so sleep deprived by newborn little one that I don't even think about BD not being around. I can't wait for her to get here.
Also keep in mind that you never know what tomorrow will bring. Sounds corny, I know, but it's true. You could have a secret admirer. You might meet someone tomorrow at the grocery store check out. Or you could make an awesome new friend near you who has some of the same troubles you do. You just never know.
Also, there are so many groups out there on facebook, you could look to see if there is a single mom group in your area and make new friends with them. Its amazing what you can find on facebook, and if you don't have an account, just google it. We're also here for support and advice
