Single & pregnant

Hello. I'm 21 yrs old and I make 6 weeks today. My partner left me a little before the big news. Even after I told him we were expecting, he says he wants no part to this baby or family. It's been hard coping with this kind of stress. HELP! Any suggestions?

Aww! Thank you, seriously! :) That was very sweet of you to answer my concerns. You're completely right. He's the last thing I should be worried about. Thanks again.

Even if you do not remember,  you asked for this Angel in your Life. Now you are no longer alone.  There is someone on Earth that needs your love... that needs to learn how to love...You are the Teacher.
Be grateful.. this Baby is now the reason you are alive... You have now an official mission.. To be a Good Mother.  I am sure you Will do it Well!

I'm 21 having my second child when I was 16 I got pregnant with my first had her at 17 and her biological father was no where around during pregnancy and then when I went in labor her showed but left a few hours later and has had nothing to do with my daughter . It was extremely hard at first I was scared and didn't want to do it alone but my daughter brightened everything . It's hard but you can do it . 2 months after my daughter was born I got with my fiance whom I am having my second child with and he has taken in my first and loves her like his own . He is what she knows as daddy . You got this and if he chooses not to be in the picture that's his loss and your gain . I wish you nothing but the best !

You can do it. You are strong, someone's life is depending on you. There are many places that can help you. Make sure that he signs his rights away if he or you don't want him to have any contact. Stay as calm as you can. It can be difficult but you can try. Were here for you.

Id have his *** beat if I didnt do it myself. Then I'd put him on child support. No woman should ever be left alone pregnant! It's not like you can get up and be all like " oh, I don't wanna do this any more- pops baby and and walks away " you put your life on the line when you bare a child. It you can't get him in any way to help ( legally or illegally) than head straight for welfare so you already have money for food and some type of housing

All of the above is true, but don't just calmly accept that the guy walked out and that somehow means you have no right to child support.  Either have him entirely sign away parental rights if that is what YOU want, or hit him for child support.  He cannot walk away, under the law, if you can show the child is his.  See a lawyer.  God made lawyers to help single women raise the children of deadbeat dads.

I'm so sorry you're going through this but he's actually doing you a favor walking out like this because he sounds like a horrible person and baby and you don't need that in life. All you need is your baby and all your baby needs is you. I was a single mother of 3 for a very long time struggling like crazy but the rewards was my kids and made it all worth it. You will get through this , be strong. Good luck and congrats

Don't let that get to you or get you down your strong and if you don't think so well there's a little someone growing in you that will give you that strength you need and much more you don't need a man by your side you can alone I know it will be hard but he's the one missing out not you!  Having a baby is such an amazing experience once he notices it may be too late but you'll have your baby to give you all the happiness you may need and more trust me...  God bless and be strong

Mommas baby, daddy maybe I went through my first pregnancy by myself. Went to every dr appt by myself. Pray Gods grace and mercy will get you through. This will make you stronger this is your testimony. Go to counseling if you need someone to talk to I did. You can do this children are a blessing.
