Single mother?

I'm 17 currently 6 weeks pregnant and the father of the baby stepped out on me. It was a huge shock for me because he seemed pretty supportive in the beginning and went to the first couple doctors appointments... I don't know what I did wrong. I've decided to keep the baby even though it will be a whole lot harder doing it by myself. Is there anyone here going through the same/similar thing?

Thank you all for your support. Its been really tough going through this but you're all right there are much more important things than having a guy by your side... I think it'd be best if I do this myself as long as I keep strong. Good luck to all those expecting

I'm 17 and we found out when I was 7 weeks along. We broke up about a month later. Hes still around and trying to be supportive although sometimes I feel he could be doing more.

Im 15, 35 weeks and I will be doing it alone.
It ***** a lot of the time, but it will all be worth it in the end.
You'll soon learn there's more important things than a man and I promose you'll make it and be a good mom.
Youve already done the bravest thing you could do by deciding to keep your baby.
So congratulations on your son or daughter to come :)

My BD walked out the first day he found out, so I been on my own since day one, im 29 weeks and to be honest though I know its going to be hard I believe if you have a supportive family and those willing to be their for you and the baby then that's what really matters.
