Hi j - I had my son when I was 18 as well - what you are going through is not a single parent thing -its a pregnancy throw back.
I think people and friends probably assume that you are busy and organising for the baby and if someone does not have kids its hard for them to identify your needs. I remember my freinds one by one 5 years after I had my son, it was their turn to have kids and only then did they identify my needs. I went through the same issues over a decade later when I had my daughter and my career friends shut off from me after the baby especially as I stayed at home for 2 yrs with her. All my mates had had their kids years before and again I stood alone with the bump - what I am trying to say is people are not being mean or uncaring - they are just ignorant. The efort has to come from you, don't wait to be asked , ask them over, explain how isolated you feel. But remember its your baby and it was your decision to keep it, there are not many single mates who will give up Fri or Sat nights out to keep you company - soon you'll have junior to keep you busy. You need to mix with other people in a simular situation, join a pre natal class, check out clubs go to the park and meet up and chat with other mothers, you bump will start off a conversation. You are not 18 and care free any more so in some way there is a definite line between you and your mates (their time will come) make an effort to make new friends and enjoy being a mum.

[LIST]Hey Girl, I am a 18 year old mother and i remember what that was like when i was pregnant. Its not you Its them.Sometime people dont know how to react to pregnant teens. thats fine let it be there problem not yours cause we both know there way to much on your shoulders right now. dont take as a bad thing if they dont know how to be your friend. it might be because they dont know where you are coming from and trust me some day you will find friends who do understand and that day WILL COME sooner then you think. When i was pregnant with my daughter Hannah I had no friends none. all I saw was my family even when i was having surgery. (thats a long story). Please trust me girl that everything will be better especially when you look into your childs eyes and see them smile at you their mommy.Be proud what you are doing because i know its hard and you are very strong to take this path.
