Any other single mums to be out there?
Hi all and congratulations to everyone on your pregnancys.
I'm 33yrs old and 11weeks pregnant with my first.
This was a unexpected baby as I was on the pill and myself and the dad are not together. I'm happy to be expecting but also terrified. I never wanted to be a single mum as was brought up in a one parent house, and although mum did the best job she could I watched her struggle, and I never wanted that for my child. The dad knows and said that he happy about it, but he doesn't seem very interested in discussing anything I'm in feeling very alone in this and very lonely.
I see friends who are pregnant or have just had babies and they tell me how excited/happy their partners are, and about going out shopping together for baby stuff and I hate to admit that I'm jealous of them.
The council have just rejected my housing application so for now I'm stuck in my bed sit, and I'm dreading going on maternity leave in 4/5 months and being on my own most of the time!
Sorry for the rant, just a very scared mum to be

You're not alone you have the best company now and that's your baby ☺ you will be just fine once your child is born you will see how strong you really are and how much you are willing to do for it no matter if you have a partner or not . keep your head up and now its you and that baby! Remember that children are a gift from God.(Psalms 127:3) ❤
