im very recently going to be going through this pregnancy/birth without the child's father. And I wanted either some mommas that have done it before or are currently going through it to let me know, not so much what to expect but, advice. How to make it a little better or anything really. I've shed a good bit of tears and been down but I need to be positive about it not just for me but these twins.
Re: Any mommas going through this or have done it alone?

My situation was a bit negative in the way that he wanted to have nothing to do with it, push me down the stairs, etc. I said I rather have my child myself and raise her full of love and kindness knowing she's wanted and loved by me.
You're a strong mom, and I'm sorry you're going through it alone, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. Everything will fall into place.
If that doesn't suit you, perhaps you have a religious leaning or other special interest where you can look for a community of support?
The thing is, most of the time you have to go out and look for these groups and then make a conscious effort to be a part of the groups, even though you feel too busy, too tired, or too overwhelmed. You will be amazed at the amount of free-time, energy, and hope you will find once you have those relationships in place.

@aprilsarahjune I've looked into a few groups and have found a few that I'm more than likely going to join. I also have recently befriended the mother of my exs daughter, which is the big sister to my twins. We often call each other and she and her daughter came to an ultrasound I had to see the babies. She's been so great and we plan on keeping our friendship up and being there for any support the other needs. She is also currently pregnant. But I'm going to look into the groups you suggested. Thank you very much
