23 weeks pregnant and single

Ftm, this is supposed to be an amazing experience in my life but its been nothing but stress. This was a planned pregnancy took us about a year to conceive. It seems as if I'm doing it all on my own, my partner doesn't show any compassion or love. After crying so much for a couple months now I finally decided to set out on my own. Idk if I'm going about this the right way I just don't feel as if he cares if it seems I'm a single to b mom why not just be just that

It's just depressing. My Dr. hasn't met him yet because he always can't make the appointment. I have high blood pressure and when I ask him to not stress me out, his response is always "you stress yourself out" I'm so over it. I'm always doing baby things on my own. You can only pleed so much. Your mom is right <3 we won't b the only single moms.

Dont stress it luv. Im 18 weeks and a single mom myself. I have 3 boys and now expecting a baby girl. My husband walked out on us but I have to keep moving forward.  Anything you feel, your baby will feel. So be happy, enjoy your pregnancy because it is the most amazing experience you will ever have. It is such a blessing. =)

First let me say congratulations, not only on becoming a Mom but for the strength and bravery you show in choosing your own path free of unnecessary stress  and tears. You should feel proud of your choice and know that the strength you have will carry on through the raising of your child :) I know many single moms, my own being one. And every single one of them are to be admired. You're going to do great, and I hope each day brings you another reason to smile while you focus on you and your new bundle of joy :) xx

There's really nothing you can do about the actions of your partner at this time. I'm sorry you have to go about such a trying time by yourself, but don't dwell on it. Enjoy it. This is a time to get in tune with your own self. Mind body and soul. Enjoy your growing bump. Babies are truly a blessing! So take it as such even though he chose otherwise. Don't chase anybody but your dreams,and right bow your on the path to one of your own dreams coming true. Congrats to you mama! Thank him for removing that extra unnecessary stress he brought and for helping you get that much closer to your blessings. Smile and never let another ones actions have control over your life! Good luck!
