Just venting

[mommyof2nowtp]

I'm single and pregnant and while most of the time I am glad I'm single because I accept it for the way it is and I feel like it's just easier this way but at times like now I miss my baby's dad and wish he was there to hug sometimes :/ I just wanted to vent a little thank you guys for listening

I'm so sorry to hear it didn't work out for you and the baby father.:(
I was alone for a little while when i had my son, but found a wonderful man that became my babies 'daddy", and after he passed, when my son was 8, i found a "step father" that has been in his life since he was 11. So, he has two strong men that he loves. There are many men looking for family women. You take the guess work out of that. lol So please don't despair. Stay strong, and motivated. You will have your happy ending with a man that can love your child like their own. Just make sure you thoroughly check them out, before you do any more committing of your heart.

CONGRATULATIONS on your pregnancy. Be healthy and happy and everything will work out for you and your child.

I'm here if you ever need to talk.

Hi there.  Welcome to the forum.  Ya know, I think this is natural.  Having a child is a big undertaking.  We start with a partner from conception and then when we lose the partner (even if he was a jerk), there is going to be some sadness associated with that.  We also start to look ahead and know that first of all, it won't be easy alone and second, it's not just about us anymore.  Our child won't have that parent in their life which ALL kids long for.  (because of that, I always recommend that we do whatever is in our power to make our child available unless they are a drug addict, beater or a criminal to bond with our children and coparent them).  

Being pregnant is also a time where you see other couples in the same circumstances coming together and sharing something beautiful.  It is perfectly normal to long for that.

But if the relationship wouldn't work, what can you do?  Sometimes you have to understand you'll make it through.  Think of life at times being the Titanic and knowing that YOU will always float to the top.  So, figure out what will help you float and stay strong.

good luck hon,.  Here if you need us.
