single mom to be

[loreaneli]

I'm 24 and going into my 7th week in my pregnancy and I'm wondering if any single moms would be willing to share their story. I worry most days, wondering if I'll be able to care for my child financially by myself. My family lives in California and I live in Arizona. I work overnights full time making roughly $13/hr. Any words of encouragement (that story of yours helps too) or financial advice would be very much appreciated.

I totally understand where you're coming from. My baby's father left me and wanted nothing to do with us. I worry everyday how I'm going to support her myself, especially since I had to quit working at when I was 33 weeks due to complications, I'm now 37 weeks. Have faith and pray about it. I'm sure you will take very good care of your baby!

I would've never thought I would be a single mom. But I live with my mom who's going to help me with my daughter because I'm a full time college student...But with a lot of prayer I believe things will change for us single mothers and we will make it no matter what:)

Thank you, ladies. I know what I have to do, but it just seems so impossible considering how I barely make enough for myself. I'll definitely keep my head up and aim for the best.

I never picture my life as a single mom.  Just you I work third shift and I go to school part time. As first I was very hurt that my baby's father isn't active in my baby's life. But I had to realize my baby boy is my and I'm ok with that. I know my heart my baby will be ok. Me and my baby is going to have a good life.
