First time mom, Pregnant & Single?

I'm 24 today, and 15 weeks pregnant. I've known the baby's father for 5 years and since becoming pregnant all of his lies are coming into the light. He had not attended a single apt, hasn't helped with anything at all, and treats me like a child. So far I have almost everything big the baby will need and I am working on the small things now. I have family support but still can't shake this feeling of depression and disappointment I have. I feel so bad for my baby that the father is already not involved. Single and pregnant sucks.... anyone else going through this?

For my son I was a single mother and her pregnant all alone it would not be an easy Journey but trust me it would definitely be worth it once you have your baby in your arms just remember to be strong and always do it for your child put your child first before anyone. I went to all my doctor's appointments and my parenting class all by myself but God is good because after 3 years I finally met a good man that takes care of me and mines. good luck!!

I have a cousin who is only 2 years older than you and she is a single mom. Her baby daddy said he would be there to help my cousin with the baby when they found out that she was pregnant but once the baby was born he doesn't help out. Months after the baby was born they broke off and she move back to her parents house, as of right now she's enjoying her life with her baby boy and she also have a new man in her life. You will be fine and you're strong, I'm sure you will get through this hardship with the support of your family and friends.

I am, but I'm 17. My child's father was abusive and irresponsible. He had a job, a well paying one, but didn't buy anything for our son because he spent all of his money on weed. I've provided everything. We split when I was 22 weeks. It took me that long to get the courage to leave him. I had to get a restraining order bc he would not leave me alone. Its hard, but doable. I'm now 30 weeks. And while I am sad and disappointed that my child is missing out on having a father and that I have to go through this beautiful journey alone, I am still so overjoyed that I get to bring a beautiful baby boy into this world. We got this mama.

I'm in the same boat, single and pregnant. Sperm donor as I call him left when I was like 11 weeks pregnant to go on a drug binge and went back to his first baby momma/ex and got her pregnant too and she's due only 2 days after me apparently and he's stayin with her and doesn't associate with me or my baby. I'm currently 21 weeks pregnant with his daughter but I don't ever say his child anymore, simply just my child. Mind you he does have a 3 year old daughter with his first baby momma but never did anything for that child either. Now we're both expecting little girls and mines the only one that's gonna be without a father😕
