Advice please

My baby's father is causing way to much stress I don't know what to do. I'm 16 going to be 17 in 11 days. I'm 15 weeks 5 days ppregnant. Due July 8th. And me and my baby's father are no longer together. His new girlfriend has recently told him he is not allowed to have anything to do with the pregnancy or the baby. That hurt really bad. But what's making it worse is he's over playing daddy to her kid and they've only been together like 2 weeks. It's gotten so bad with stress that I've lost weight and the doctors had a heart attack nearly at my appointment because they couldn't hear the heart beat with out rushing me into ultrasound. They told me it's because I've lost weight and caused the baby to go into a tight ball. And I'm scared that him and her stressing me out is going to hurt the baby. Help.

I was 17 when i had my first and i went throught the same thing but what i came to realize is that you cant force someone to be in your childs life, all you can do is ne the best mom you be and show your baby that no matter who isnt there you will always be there to love them. And besides, if the father of your child is acting like that you should stop and think if that is the kind of role model you want for your child. My son is now 6 and has only seen his real father a handful of times but it does not bother him cuz the man i am with has raised him and been there for him in every way possible and my son knows he is not his father but calls him dad and loves him with all his heart. Kids grow up to know who really loves them and is there for them. Remember whatever you decide to do will affect your child so dont stress over ppl and hurt your baby because something happening to your baby over stress will hurt you more than what they are hurting you. Good luck.

Women are amazingly strong. We can carry a baby for nine months, and then we go through intense pain to deliver it. You honestly don't need a man. You have incredible strength!! I know having a father figure is nice for your child, but honestly you are capable of doing it on your own. Keep your head up and push through it. ☺

Sweetie at the end of the day you are Mama Bear and you have a baby cub to raise. Your life and the well being of your baby is in you and God's hands. Be a good mommy and put your child first. I had my daughter at 18 and I raised her all alone. Yes it's hard but it's very rewarding. You can't make your babies dad grow up nor can you make his new girlfriend respect you. But you love yourself and your baby unconditionally and it will pay off in the end. Good luck and be blessed
