My first husband left me and tried to divorce me when I was 8 weeks pregnant with my second well taking my first from me. I was left on the street with nothing and well pregnant I found the family I am now a big part of. My son is now 5 almost 6 I am remarried and my third is on his way. It may not seem like it but things will get better.

I am in the same boat my childs father left at like two months into the pregnancy. I have been alone and trying to fend for me and my baby as well. He hasn't helped with anything and I have been working paying all my personal bills and trying to get everything that my baby needs. My baby shower helped alot!!! But my job told me I had to take leave at 37 1/2 weeks. I didn't want to and my doctor says I'm ok to work but they took me out. If I was you I would work all the way up until your due just so you can have more time with the baby after you have it.

I was in that situation once upon a time. When I was pregnant with my second child, I left their father the moment I found out I was pregnant. I worked constantly. It was overwhelming, but I did it & you'll soon realize that all the drama, stress & heartache is soooooo worth it. You may also come to realize that him leaving was the best thing for you. Trust me sweetie you & your baby girl will be just fine.
