Hey Tash,
My name is Carrie, I hope what I can say will help just a little bit. I am a 25 yr old single mother of a wonderful 3yr old little girl. I became pregnant 6 months after my 21st birthday by a guy who I had barely known for 3months. The three months consisted of drugs, drinking and ***. There was no meaning there. He was furious when I couldn't go thru with the abortion.So we decided to play house. He was very abusive physically and mentally. I was under control all the time..couldn't work..had no friends and mean while I have doctors breathing down my neck to be chipper b/c stress hurts the baby. My family abandoned me. I had no one. My family finally came back around when I was six months pregnant and moved my "sperm donor" and myself in. My little girl came a month and 1/2 later. She was 5 1/2 wks early. I moved out with my kids father when she was three, I knew in my heart things wouldn't change. He was gone till 4am almost every night, doing drugs, drinking. He never helped me. When I went back to work, he started accusing me of cheating and that my little girl wasn't his. Finally I left him when she was 11 months. He missed 6 of the 11 visitations b/c cocaine was more important than her. I haven't seen or heard from him in almost 2 yrs. My parents help out alot but I can't help but feel like a loser b/c im living at home at 25 with a child. But I know it was my path and It will get better with time. IT's ok that it's between two guys b/c that could of easily been anyone. Don't let anyone make you feel like less of a person for that. It takes a strong woman to come on here and ask for help and guidence. I have the most wonderful quote that I live by and I can only hope it helps
" A woman is like a tea bag, only in hot water does she truly know how strong she is."

Have you discussed your depressed with obgyn? I am a new mom too, and was surprised by how much is available in my community. There's groups and classes, equipment loans, and a fund for new, single moms providing maternity clothes and coupons.
Is it morning sickness? IT'S HORRIBLE! And hot sauce is horrible to upchuck (I really wanted it tho!) Keep trying new things and don't feel bad about eating banana pancakes for all three meals if that's what tastes good and stays down!
It's tough, but with forums like this, and your community, you can do it!!

Hi Tash, my name is Jennifer and I am from dallas, tx. I know you probably get this all of the time but I know how your feeling. My "sperm donor" is a jerk and has made me feel like the worst person alive because of how he feels about his own self. I have been feeling really sick and depressed to but what gets me through it is knowing i'm not alone and neither are you. You have a beautiful baby growing inside of you and you aren't going to be alone anymore for a minimum of 18 years lol Smiler Talk to your doctor they may have things they can do for you to help with the stress and sickness. I saw online these things called prego pops or something that help really well with morning sickness and they are very inexspensive. They have them at babies r us if there is one of those around you.
