Thank you/rant-long, sorry

I am 15 weeks/5 days. I have posted to others and never really introduced myself. This pregnancy was an accident (but a blessing) and I never planned on being a single parent. I am scared outta my mind about the whole thing (mostly finances as I'm not real stable in that area) and I'm not expecting much from the father. He has 5 other children with another, besides mine, on the way. He doesn't take care of any of his children and I'm finding out more an more about him from his most recent ex, like he's a registered sex offender. Her and I are becoming friends as our children will be siblings and I feel it's important for them to know their family. I'm on antidepressants and they haven't been working lately and unfortunately, I cannot go without them completely. I have had multiple ultrasounds and so far the baby is doing good. Both doctors, regular OB and high-risk, have assured me that the ones I'm on are ok. I just can't believe I let myself get into this type of situation. With that being said, I want o thank you all for your postings, questions, rants, and more. even though I don't know any of you personally, I feel a connection to you all going through the same things. I'm not getting much support from my parents who are very traditional and disapproves because I m unmarried, not with the father and not very stable financially. It was even suggested that I "take care" of the problem. I am. The baby will be here in November and I will be taking care of it and raising it just like am taking care of myself now to have a healthy baby. When I am feeling down (which is often), I check into various boards and it's just nice to know there are others facing the same issues. Here to a H&H 9 months for everyone. Again, thank you for your support and participation. I'm glad I'm not alone here.

    You're not alone, we are here to support you, I know what it's like. I did not plan on getting pregnant either and the BD insisted that I "take care" of the problem too. My finances are also not in a position I wish they'd be in. I wouldn't expect much support from your BD but it's great that you're becoming friends with her and that the siblings will know each other. Hopefully you can lean on each other for support. I'm also glad to hear the baby is doing well and wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months! come talk to us anytime

    Hi,

    I read your post and want you to know you're not alone. I am just ending a relationship with my alcoholic ex boyfriend who is so far off he won't admit he is one. I myself did not expect baby or want children at all. I am holding my head up high (well uh trying to!!) but with many difficulties. I am living at home with my family and it is not a dream come true nor the life I ever expected. I am here for you.

    Also, I got KU on accident, too. Annnd I don't have support from my BSC family, because they suck. You are definitely not alone :)
