Lonely

I'm 34weeks and 1 day due on the 13th of March..I feel so lonely this week. I have been fine all along but this week has been the worst. I'm single and will be raising my baby on my own the father wants nothing to do with her. So i moved back to my parents in Scotland don't get me wrong my family has been helpful and supportive but I just wish I had someone to be there and I say his the father of my child. Anyone else having to go through this without the baby father or a partner.

I'm in the same boat, never thought it'd be this way. I'll be 36 weeks on Friday and trying to move back home as well. One day he was saying I hope we have kids, the very next day I took the test. I've been alone this whole time. *****, I'm just waiting for what everyone else is talking about. Just gotta do the best we can with the cards we were dealt.

My husband hasn't left me, but he has disappeared emotionally. I have been mentally and emotionally and in many ways physically on my own the whole pregnancy. Definitely not easy! I'm just looking forward to holding my boy.  I'll pray for you and your baby.  You are never truly alone, ever.

My partner of 3 years left me when I was 14 weeks pregnant with my first girl..it was horrible. I had to move back to my parents too, even though I had all that support I still felt alone in thr sense that the other part of my baby wasn't there to share everything with me. That all changed when she was born though, I wasn't lonely anymore and all I cared about was my girl and she made me so damn happy! I didn't care about her not having a father figure because I played both parts :) 5 months later I met my (now) fiancé without even looking and we are expecting our second. He is the best dad I could ever wish for my princess and you will find that too I promise :) once your baby gets here things will change, you will be so consumed by love that the loneliness will evaporate and I assure you, you will be so proud of yourself for being mum and dad! When you get sad, just think of that little miracle that YOU are growing all by YOURSELF and think of it in a positive way. You are a strong woman and one day you will find a strong man to share your gorgeous baby with :) chin up xxx

I'm due March 17th with mine and my "husband's" 2nd child. We split in 2013. I was dumb enough a year later to think he still cared an wanted to work it out after taking time apart. BOY WAS I WRONG!!!!! He started acting funny again an I found out on July 13th he has HAD a gf the ENTIRE time and in July 14th found out I was pregnant. He doesn't support his son in ANY way shape or form acts like he doesn't exist an he is 2 and he wants a blood test for our unborn daughter. So being alone. Yes. I know how it feels. I've been on my own since my son was 8 months old. It hurts. Its emotional. An without my kids I don't know if I would manage to even be this strong although I don't feel strong.
