sad :( anyone elses BD turn their back during pregnancy?

So I'm 7 weeks pregnant. I told the child's father and from the get go he was pushing me to abort. I didn't want to and stressed my reasons why to him but he refused to see things my way. Yesterday he told me that he's not a part of this (even tho quite clearly he is otherwise I wouldn't be in the situation in the first place) and that I'm on my own as he wants me out of his life.
I feel so down and alone but I'm a strong girl and I know I can get through this without him.
Anyone else had a similar situation where the child's father didn't wanna know?

My now ex is the same way.  The first thing he said was I don't want it, will not be a part of it, raise it or support it and I thought to myself any man that says that upon hearing he will be a father does not deserve to be in that child's life so honey you are better off with him raise your child to the beat of your ability and who knows God might send someone that will help you along the way

I completely get that but he has made the whole thing about him and how much it will affect his life when in reality I'm the one who's life will change drastically. No matter what happens he would always have the better deal, but I understand what you're saying

Wow, that's so lovely to hear! I'm happy for you that your bf finally saw sense! :) I doubt I'll have such a happy ending with my child's father but I guess it is what it is. I know that I can do it without him, just would obviously be nicer to have his support seeing as it's his baby too x

I think what he's trying to say is that he has no choice in the desicion , which in affect is true because he's ovb not ready for a child nor does he want a child but he has no choice in having the child because the desicion  is yours, so it's got to be real frustrating for him . (Just trying to be diverse)

My boyfriend was like that in the beginning. Very negative and wanted me to get an abortion and it hurt me. He left when he knew that I was keeping the baby but I left the door open for him to come back. The next day he thought about it and called me to talk. He said there was no way he could live without me so he wanted to be here for the baby. He knew that if he talked me into an abortion he would never see me again and he said he couldn't do that. Once we saw our little baby at 12 weeks via ultrasound his heart softened and he has been an amazing boyfriend and always rubs and kisses my belly. He shows everyone the ultrasound pictures lol.  I think once your bf sees the baby he'll have a change of heart. Hearing that heartbeat reminds you that there's a little human inside of you. Why would you want to hurt something so precious. Good luck hun!! I'm sure he'll be back (:
