Expecting and the dating life.

Hi! I’m sure I’m not the only one. But I would like advice as a single mom to be. Should I even be focused on dating?
This wasn’t a planned pregnancy. Especially since I’ve been dating women my whole life. A one night stand with a man. And I got knocked up.

I’ve been single and celibate most of my two years almost three years single. So affection isn’t what I care about. I’m really wanting that “family” consistency dynamic

But I’m nervous as it’s a lot for someone to try getting to know someone AND they’re pregnant. Seems I’d be expecting a lot from a person who would accept me and an unborn child. Even harder id say when your a “lesbian”

Is it even worth trying to date or should I embrace being single another couple years and just focus on the kid.
Kinda just overwhelmed. Not with raising a child by myself. Just companionship is missed sometimes.

Advice would be awesome. Thank you 😬

It sounds like you’re going through a lot of emotions, and it’s totally understandable to feel overwhelmed. Dating as a single mom-to-be, especially with everything that’s happened, can feel like a lot to navigate. It’s important to focus on what feels right for you right now. Companionship is important, but I think finding someone who respects where you’re at in life and is okay with your situation will take time. It’s okay to take a break and just focus on yourself and the baby if that’s what you need, but if you feel ready, you can explore dating at your own pace, knowing your worth as a person and a mom. Platforms like doublelist can be helpful for connecting with people who understand your circumstances and are open to genuine connections. Whatever you choose, it’s about what will make you feel at peace.
