    All I can say about this is that you aren't the only one. There are plenty of single mothers out there that make the best out of their given situation. I'm really truly sorry that "baby daddy" ditched you. As a child of a single-parent home, this really hits a soft spot with me. Keep being excited about your baby!! Focus all of your energy into your LO. Stay positive.

    Here's the link to the single parents board:  https://community.thebump.com/cs/ks/forums/7136892/ShowForum.aspx

    They might be better suited to your specific needs, but like I said welcome to the board! Keep your head up, and I hope that you have a great rest of your pregnancy!!

    I'm sorry to hear that about the Dad. Maybe he's scared too and acted immature but hopefully will come around for the baby's sake. What kind of advise are you looking for?

    I was a single mom with my now 7 year old son.  Best advice I can give is that everything will work out in the long run.  You may have some bad days but there will be plenty of good ones and your LO will be a constant source of encouragement.  They just seem to know when to smile at you or make you laugh (my DS used to sing to himself if he woke up during the night and I was not interested in playing, that melted my heart).  Do not be afraid to reach out to your friends or support groups for help that is what they are there for and if you every feel overwhelmed talk to someone.  Trust your instincts and do what is best for you and your LO.
