I see a lot of things relating to relationships during pregnancy, but as sad as it is, not all of us have the support of the expectant father. Let's talk about ways to deal with being single and pregnant, the looks, the questions, and the extra worry that comes with facing this a little more alone than most.                
                             
        
Re: What about single bumps?
I know there are a few more reg ladies here who are single. @minibean16 is i think. And @smboswell1, who just commented!
I'm currently 31w3d pregnant and I haven't been with the father since May. I'm surrounded by wonderful friends and family who support me and my decision fully.
That being said, it does get difficult at times wishing I had the father's support but I know I'm much better without him.
:x
Because I used a donor, I was lucky enough to have the time to sort through what it meant to be a single mom before I got pregnant. But yes, the questions and looks can sometimes be awkward. If it's someone I know, I'm happy to have a conversation and explain, but if it's a stranger, I don't care what they assume. If they say, "you and your husband must be so excited," I'll reply with, "my whole family is over the moon."
I love reading the stories about how excited everyone's DHs are, and I sometimes have little moments when a thread pops up that I can't participate in, but I'm so at peace with my decision that any moments of loneliness are fleeting. My family is so supportive that really don't feel I'm missing out.
Also you and the other single ladies here are amazing.
You're going to be an amazing and fiercely protective mom to your LO!
GAH SO WILL YOU >:D< we're going to be awesome moms!!!
My mum & dad separated before I was born, & she raised my sister & me completely by herself. Just wanted to pass on the encouragement that I never felt like I missed out on anything just because I grew up with no dad. My mum was (& is) the strongest person I know. I'm so grateful that she decided that being by herself was better than being with the wrong person.
Obviously I don't know your circumstances, but I guess I just wanted to say that you are more than enough for you babies, & your little ones are so lucky to have you x
The day i saw the naked pics on his phone was the day i packed my crap and left with my cat. My mom's been my rock and i will forever be grateful to her for forgiving my behavior and not hating me.
He's since spread lies about me, stalked me, and tried to ruin my life. Also kept a bunch of my expensive belongings, but who cares. I'm free of that horrible relationship, my eyes are open, i'm wiser. I can say from experience that you are a badass. Who needs a jerk like that guy, who would choose an ex over you? You are amazing!!! You've already raised an awesome kid.
Just a note...they were supposed to get married in June. They didn't.
