How do you handle being a single mommy?

Question

Hi ladies. I'm 24 years old and 24 weeks pregnant. As of now I'm single and will raise my baby girl on my own. I'm both nervous and overwhelmed. Worry fills my heart as I think of all that I'm about to encounter. If there are any single mommy's out there, how do u do it?! And tips?

Answer

I am a single mom. The best tip I can offer, that worked great for me, is take it little by little. Literally. Like I used to get so frazzled thinking about "omg what do I need to get done or what does baby need for the next several hours/days"ect. Just think about what does baby need for the moment...what chores are necessary at this time. And what can wait. It's fine to ask for help from family and friends too when you need a small break, a nap, or time to get things done. It literally saved my sanity to do those things lol. 😉😜👍😀 Also, you CAN do it, and there will be rough patches and moments where you doubt yourself, but it's just a phase. And anything is possible. 💪

Answer

I'm a single mom and I'm 25. Make sure you have a great support system because you will need it. You're going to have days and nights (especially the days and weeks after delivery) where you will probably feel overwhelmed and you're going to need someone to fall back on. That being said, take each day little by little. Focus on what your daughter needs in the moment and don't let everything consume you.

You're going to be great.

I wasnt a single mother when my son was born, but became one. It helps a ton to have a support system. Its hard nut not impossible! I would do anything for my son and its the greatest job in the world!
