Keep your head up. Im 33 weeks today and my sons father hasnt done a thing for us, hasnt spoken to me since may and the last words he said were to never contact him again. In the long run it is his choice and you cant force him to change his mind, only give him the option if he mans up. Thats what im doing. There will be hard times, but just do your best for your little bundle of joy and know that you are doing the best you possibly can.

Same thing with me everything was perfect with my babys daddy until I got pregnant things turned for the worst , he wanted me to abort but I can never do something like that , so I kept my baby and hasn't spoken to me since I was 6 weeks when I found out and I am now 20 weeks and still without him , its a forsure my baby will not have his last name and I'm pretty sure hel be begging to see his baby but too bad for him . it was depressing at first but I got throught it and I'm positive you will too (:

It's hard but trust me. If you focus on your new blessing you'll be better off without him. He is missing out.! Just do what you gotta do for you and your child. Good luck;) stay positive and hold your head up high

My daughters father left when I was about 16 weeks . I am now 24 weeks and since then he hasn't asked how I feel , how the baby is , any plans for the baby shower , HASNT gone to ANY drs appts and has only given me $50 . After we broke up he quicky got a new gf and spends all his money on her . We butt heads all the time and I had the last straw . I will not be putting his last name and will be cutting all communication . Don't worry girl things will get better this will only make you stronger ! Just remember its not only you anymore you have a beautiful baby with you & frankly thats all you need:)

Keep your head up. With this pregnancy my husband would die to be here for me but he's on the other side of the world on a deployment. It wasn't like that with our son though. He wouldn't come with me to appts or anything. I got fed up and just ignored and didn't hang out with him or anything just cut him off and boy did he turn around and step up. Give hom time and space and don't involve him that way he'll see how it's going to be without you and your baby. If that doesn't change him then forget him love. You don't need the stress and hurt that he'll out you through. Keep your head up and stay strong.

I'm kinda in the same position, everything was fine until I got pregnant, now he's sooo distant and doesn't call unless I beg him to & still hasn't went to any of the appointments with me. It hurts, it gets depressing at times, but it's making me stronger. The welfare of your child, & yourself is all that matters in the long run. If he can't be there for you now, he doesn't deserve to experience the joy of what's happening. Try to stay positive, the baby doesn't need the extra stress anyway. Its gonna suck at times, its normal...but plenty of ppl do it by themselves, if they can, you can too.

My baby's father left last week and i'm almost 21 weeks. It's tough but you've got to keep thinking that he's missing out on all these things that are happening with your growing baby. I hope he comes round and supports you and your baby but you are strong enough to do it without him if you've got this far already. Good luck x
