single new mom

I'm 31 found out I was pregnant about 2 wks ago and just had my first ultrasoud. So excited.i'm due 1/5/13.

However when I told my boyfriend he was completely against it and we are no longer together. As if that weren't tough enough... I just told my dad and he seems to have an issue with the race. (my boyfriend is black and Korean I am Mexican and white).

Will it get easier? Has anyone else been in this situation?

I just wanted to say welcome and that I am sorry you are going through all of that! As for the boyfriend, as long as you are excited and able to care for your child then only time will tell if he will come around. As for your parents I would hope that once the baby is born they will love the child as their grandchild. Who knows. Either way, you are excited and we are here for you! Happy and healthy nine months!

Welcome! You've got a difficult road ahead of you; but if you're able to financially and emotionally care for your baby and are excited to have it, then you'll be ok--just be prepared for the commentary. You'll have to develop a pretty thick skin.

We are here for you! I have hope that things will work out for you even better than you could have planned. I bet the bf and the family will come around.

Glad you are excited

Hello

My boyfriend and I were having issues and in counseling and then I got pregnant unexpectedly. I think we may be headed towards breaking up. My boyfriend is Jamaican and I am white. I havent told my family yet. Its a bit like your situation. I love my boyfriend but honestly with all the changes going on in my body it would be nice to not have relationship problems right now on top of everything so if that means we brake up I will be sad but less burdened.

I feel for you in your situation, its pretty intimidating navigating being pregnant and then to be delaing with a break up and your family being judgemental, its a lot. Focus on self care and standing solid in yourself and the life yoyu have created. It is an important time to believe in yourself!

I also wanted to say welcome and congrats. My mom was a single mom my entire life. We are best friends now and she did an amazing job raising me on her own. You'll have to be strong but you can do this! Best of luck for a H&H 9 months.

Welcome and congratulations on the baby. Sorry that your boyfriend and parents aren't supportive. Hopefully your boyfriend will face his responsibilities as a parent and help you support and raise your child together. And hopefully once your parents get used to the idea of the grandbaby they accept it with open arms and are there for you.

We're all here to chat with you for support. Good Luck!!
