Everyone here seems to be married or engaged but are there any moms here who aren't in a relationship???
My SO and I had the perfect relationship. We talked about getting married and we were really happy. Prior to being with him I was in a long term relationship where I had a miscarriage, we tried to get pregnant with no avail but my doctor had told me I wouldn't be able to conceive. When I met my current partner I thought things would work out because he is older and never wanted children and was sure of that. Well we did not have very much sexy time. Once a month actually and tada I am 9 weeks pregnant. He has not been happy at all because he did not want children. He thinks the idea of me being pregnant is sad and it depresses him. Well we hadn't seen each other since finding out I was pregnant until just last week. We met to "talk" however I am going to call it his final attempt to talk me into having an abortion. I don't believe in abortion at all so although we aren't in the ideal situation as long as this baby keeps growing it will make it into this world. Now he doesn't want anything from our previously perfect relationship. He says he will be there for his child but he and I will not have our relationship because it won't be the same. I think he resents me for being pregnant. It's sad to think I've lost him and we won't be a family. It's just a hard time. We use to talk all day everyday, he was my escape from stress...now I won't have him. It's so sad. I can't get excited because we won't be a family.

Luckily my mom and sister are here. My aunt is actually thinking about moving to be closer as well. I am thankful to have them but like my mom said even with all our help it won't be the same as having your own family.
It will be hard, and you may not have a family in the "traditional" mommy-daddy-baby sense, but it sounds like you have a great support system from your loved ones. You and your little one WILL be a family on your own terms. You will find your village, and you will make it through.
