4 Weeks Pregnant
Advice from any single professional mommas out there?
I am 31, have a great job and am fairly stable...and just found out I am pregnant today during a doctors appointment. I went in because I had been feeling sick since a surgery. Yeah, not expecting a positive.
The man it is with has a girlfriend and is my ex boyfriend. He has children already, and the amount of stress this is going to cause is terrifying.
What I am having a hard time with is knowing what to do. I took a morning after pill right after the "encounter" with the ex. To me, that's one thing that is screaming loud and clear "See?! I am supposed to be born!"
But I am so scared. My best friend, the ex and my mom all know. And I have the best support system. But people's reaction to this is scary too.
Any single mom's out there that are in a professional workplace, and maybe not in a great relationship with the kids dad? I really need some advice.
Scary stuff...AND I FEEL LIKE CRAP!! UGH! I have been on vicodin, zoloft, ambien and just being all around NOT thinking I was pregnant.
And my boobs hurt! And I feel constipated! People, it's FOUR weeks! How can I do another 267 days of this!

Re: Advice from any single professional mommas out there?
Hi, I just found out I am pregnant yesterday. I am 31 and a single professional as well, but I am with my the father and we were already planning to get married. However, I was in a very similiar situation to you about 5 years ago before and I got an abortion. First, let me say - I am NOT recommending you taking that route, but you are pregnant by your ex who has a GIRLFRIEND, not a wife. It's not the end of the world. People's reactions will probably be negative just because letsbe honest - it sounds bad, but it is what it is. He has sex with his girlfriend and she's not pregnant, so he knew what he was doing with you. Don't beat yourself up about it....besides, if he was "cheating" with you that says something about him and/or thier relationship as well.
You said you have a good support system and that is what happens. I say you chalk it up to circumstance (what is every really perfectly perfect in life??) and start getting ready for your new baby!! Happy Baby Planning!!!!
Yes it does! My pregnancy was very unexpected and uplanned for and honestly, I would rather it have come much later but its here so hey! LOL! I'm just happy to know I can get pregnant because based on the stories I heard from my married girlfriends my age who are constantly trying to get pregnant to no avail, I was thinking I would probably be in the same boat.
I would have liked to have gotten married first, but hey, I can find solace in knowing I will have atleast one baby :-)
Hi Vegas0036
First off let me start off with saying congratulations!
I am recently married and I recently found out that we are four weeks pregnant and I am a working professional. I know not single, hang in there with me....
This is not my first child, I have a 10 year old son from a previous abusive relationship which I chose to for the benifit of my child and me to separte from and raise on my own. I was a working professional with a good job and It was one of the scariest decison I have every made. But one I have never ever regretted, he is the reason i survied. I am not going ot lie it was not easy and there were days i was complety overwhelmed but my son keep me going. Find an good support system, take it one day at a time, and most of all remember that your little one is your blessing so slow down and enjoy!
Best of luck!
