Just wanted to say hello and make new friends! I'm 25, this is my first pregnancy and it is truly amazing. I am 24 weeks along and having a girl! I found out on my 25th birthday i was pregnant. The guy tried to convince me not to have it and that was the furthest thing from my mind. He hasn't told anyone and chooses not to be there. He just started college and is only concerned about himself and thinks im just trying to get his money(absurd) I am a christian and have been happy and positive the entire pregnancy. The only thing that was hard was dealing with his negativity and since I have cut ties with him I haven't gotten upset, until now. I am very strong but lately have been a bit emotional, I guess because I'm starting to feel a bit lonely. I do have support from my mom and several friends. I think it would be nice to have people to talk to that can relate and keep each other on the positive tip. Thanks!!!

:baby: :welcome:

I am 22, 8weeks prego, and single as well. I get lonely at times also, which i feel is a very common thing with single parents. Just know that when the baby gets here you will NEVER be alone again; youll have a smaller version of you to share all your time with. Also know that jut because you are having a baby doesnt mean that you will be single forever. There are many blended families and many good men that would happily spend time with you and your baby. Remember that because we are women, and emotional of course especially now, all of these feelings are normal. I hope its reassuring to know that these feelings will once pass, and your baby will be the love of your life!!!

Welcome and congrats!!

Yeah it really does being single and pregnant....I'm 10 weeks and 2 days, well 3 days now, along, and my baby's daddy knocks me up, acts like he really cares about me and the baby for awhile, and then starts treating me like **** by ignoring my calls, letting his ex stress me out a lot, and then dating her again, and putting everywhere i can see it her pictures and stuff about her and him, when he knows it upsets me so much. Sometimes I think he wants me to lose this baby. It hurts so much to even think that but he's done so much to me to hurt me while I'm pregnant. It's even worse cuz he's 18, she's just turned 16, and if her mother found out she would put him in jail for stachitury rape, and then he'll be in jail for the birth of his child.

Hi Mirracole. First off congratulations! My name is Nicole and I am 22 years old and just found out I am expecting. My first doctor appointment is July 18th and I believe I am 5 weeks along or so. I am so nervous. I live with my parents who are extremely strict and i'm too scared to tell them because we don't have the best relationship. I am in college and have little to no money. Although i'm nervous and scared I'm so excited. I am having a baby with my ex. We are in such a difficult situation. I know I just told him Friday but he doesn't want to talk to me unless it's through Instant message or text. It sucks although he said he wants to go to the doctor with me and although he says this is a "mistake" and as much as he wants to leave this all he can't because he has morals. I hope he will be there for me and the baby and I hope he comes around. I only have support from my best friend now. I'm scared of being kicked out of my home. Right now I really have nothing. I have thought about cutting ties and doing this alone and I know in the end I may have to. I never thought I'd have a baby without the baby having a father. Sorry I'm kinda bouncing back and forth but this is all so overwhelming. I'm just happy I found this site and that there are women like you who know what I am going through.

Hope all is going well with you and stay strong. I know I am trying. :-)
