I am pregnant with my first child and am due October 15th. I am starting to look as big as a balloon and am feeling anxious and nervous about giving birth. II am going to be a single mom and I feel like my whole life is changing so fast. I have nowhere to turn and I need to talk to someone who's been through this before. Someone near or around my due date, please offer some reassuring words! ↓

| I'm due October 31st, my first too. While I have a husband to help me through this, to tell you the truth, I'm pretty scared and anxious and nervous about EVERYTHING myself. I don't think it matters whether you're single or not, when your pregnant, especially for the first time, it's overwhelming and scary. But don't feel alone - you've at least got me who can understand how you feel. ↑ |

| Hey Stacy! Just read your post and I know how your feeling. When I was pregnant with my son ( who is now turning 10 ) I was a single mum aswell. I was panicking the whole pregnancy wondering how I would cope and what was I in for! It was hard at the beginning but like Betty said a first baby is hard for anyone single or not. Fast forward to now and I can say I survived ( a sense of humour helps ) and my son has turned out great! Never underestimate yourself or what you can do. I am now pregnant with my second baby, a girl due at the end of July and because its been so long ive forgotten everything!! One thing that helped me was being around babies when I was pregnant because I had never really been around many babies before so if you have friends or relatives with babies see if you can "practice" with them! If you want a e-mail friend my email is [email protected] ↑ |

| I have been through that before and I am pregnant with my third baby.When I was pregnant with my first son I had a boyfriend who was abusive and very jealous. But then my husband showed up. I was still in school when I had him and it was hard but it does get better because your kids are the greatest thing that is ever going to happen to you. Trust me it will get better and you won't always be a single mom. ↑ |

| i am due oct 17th and its my first and i am also a single mom. I know how feel about not having anyone to turn to older people look down on you cause your not married and younger ones without kids dont care but remember your about to have this beautiful baby and although it will be hard you will get to hold a piece of yourself that loves as much as you love it hang in there ↑ |

| Hey Stacy, I am pregnant with my first too. I am due in July and while I'm still real close with my boyfriend(the father), I will basically be a single mother as well.(He hasn't learned the responsibility thing yet, even at 23 yrs. old) I know its very scary and you feel like you had so many goals and now EVERYTHING is different. One thing I can tell you is it gets better as you get closer to the due date because you are just soooooooo anxious. Try to rely on those who are close to you to help keep you sane and definetly find someone to talk to if you are feeling down. I went through some really hard times during my pregnancy and it caused my blood pressure to go real high(not good.) I am a lot better now, but don't make the same mistake I did by trying to hold it in. If you would like you can email me, just ask for my email! Good luck! ↑ |

I had my child two years ago at 20. I understand all these feelings. Everything seems to come into focus when you have your child!! It is definitely an anxious time... but this is your emotional preparation for having a child. :) hang in there

| I am pregnant with my first child and due end of october starting of november and believe me if you are going to be a single mom or not your whole life will change either way.I have a partner and yet sometimes feel im going it alone.My friend has just had her 1st child a few weeks ago and she is a single parent.She has the support of her family and friends and is coping very well.Once you have the support I am sure any single parent can be worth more than 2 parents.If your family and friends are not supporting you through this there are loads of support groups out there for single parents to help.Best wishes. ↑ |

Hi Stacey,
I'm 31 yrs old and am due Sept 9...and I'm single, too. The dad is 35 yrs old and very responsible, but when I told him I was pregnant, he ran even though I've known him for 13 yrs. I've had to rely on myself and my friends to get me through the pregnancy, which even including moving to a kid-friendly area. I think the hardest thing is to go through this alone (and by alone, I mean without a man). I miss having someone to hold me, someone to go out with on Friday nights, and someone to tell me that they love me. I don't want to be with the dad anymore--he's hurt me too much--but, how am I supposed to find a boyfriend while I'm pregnant or raising an infant? I'm sure this doesn't help you feel better, but perhaps it will let you know that you're not alone. -B ↑ |
