First of all, I've been reading a lot of these stories and have been looking around to see how it's turning out.

The guy I had the unfortunate luck to sleep with was seeing other people and neglected to tell me (aka lied). BTW, the girl he "picked" is a single mom who is also pg with his kid. A side from stalking places I think he hangs out, I don't know how to get a hold of him except through his MySpace page, which he's blocked me on. Last time I got an email from him, he was pissed off that I wasn't getting an abortion like "any normal girl would". Trying to get any kind of child support from him would be like trying to get blood from a stone. You can't get what someone doesn't have. But I did save all the emails and a copy of his MySpace page for the kids when they are older if they want to look into it on their own.

I was just starting to think I can still do this whole single parent thing, lots of people do it, heck, all of you are, why not me and then I found out it's twins. I've been getting scared. Going on the hospital tour alone with all those "happy" couples doesn't help either. I think I cried for 2 days straight because of that tour. There isn't anyone to sign me in except me, I don't have a matching arm bracelet, or even anyone to take a picture.

While I have stopped rolling my eyes when somone says "Wow, Twins!Congradulations!" and I have stopped crying when my family asks "So what are you going to do about this?" I still dread going to my birth/parenting classes all by myself. I know if given half a chance, I'll be a great mom even with the first year (or more) being a complete sleep deprived blur. The question is, how does a single parent with twins get half a chance to begin with? I'm not even sure how I'm supposed to get to the hospital if I'm not allowed to drive while in labor? Or how to get them out of a 2 door SUV when I get home from the hospital if I have a C section and don't have full range of motion back?

It may not have been true love that created them, but it is true love that will raise them.

:cupid:

Do you have any good friends/family/neighbors you like?

Have you been able to really sit down with your doctor and discuss the logistical concerns you are having? Depending on the hospital and your health care and financial situaiton you may be able to get a nurse to help you out or some kind of home care. If you are recovering from a csection you will need some support even just to get out and buy milk. You cannot be carrying two filled carseats, driving, shopping for the first few weeks. They say 6 sometimes but that is kind of just funny really.

There are some tricks on getting around with 2 or more which I'd be happy to help you with. It took me a few weeks but I did start at 5 weeks i think? getting out of the house every single day. It was more for my own sanity than anything. I did just car trips at first to practice, then we went into places.... easy places. After a couple of months we were walking around the mall, eating in teh food court, etc.

Hi,

I'm in FL too and I know what you are going through. Like Sue, I am also happy to help you. If you go into my posts you will see that I have a very similar situation to yours only I found the baby's father on MiGente and his gf on MySpace.......LOL, we have to laugh because crying will get us nowhere!

Do you know how to use PM?

I'm with Sue.. find a freind, neighbour, relative, **** ANYONE that you can talk to, who will be willing to go through everything with you.. I was in the same situation.. And I found that my freind was just the best a girl could have.. she's even put a car seat in her car for me.. I also went to the classes solo.. and yes, I got looks.. but I was determined not to let it get to me.. Hey, for all they knew my "partner" was working.. they didn't need to know he wasn't around.. Anyway, good luck with everything.. Keep your head up.. you will do fine, I'm sure.. it's amazing what you are able to do.. trust me!

woops.. didn't mean to swear.. it was the "h" word.. sorry all
