Question for Single Moms.. If you would've known you were going to end up doing this all alone, would you have chosen to be pregnant?

Question

Answer

This is a hard question to answer. I'm no longer a single mom, I've gotten married and expecting my second. My first baby is now 7 and I can't imagine life without him. If waiting meant I would have ended up with a completely different baby and never gotten to meet my son, then no, I wouldn't have waited.

Answer

definitely would have waited!! don't get me wrong, i love my daughter with my whole heart, but from lawyers, to being the only one who will take care of her, to constantly feeling hurt and attacked by her father, i definitely wish i had waited. a 20 year old shouldn't have to worry about whether it's dads day or my day, or what goes on on dads days. a 20 year old should be living on campus, hanging out with friends, staying up late to study and sleeping in late because they can. i have my regrets. i wouldn't ever choose a different life though. nothing beats the baby snuggles. ❤️ you truly don't understand what single moms go through when they get lawyers and court involved until you're in that position. my daughters father wasn't around for the first 3 1/2 months of her life and i hated him so much for it, yet he was still allowed to take her for a day here & there. in 3 weeks we start our first overnights away from mommy. its SO hard.

Answer

Being a good single parent is HARD but being a mother is beautiful. If you have the strength to do things alone, don't allow that to put you off. I would never be without my 6yo daughter now. I was alone with her for 2 years. I am now married to her stepfather and expecting my second. I am much less stressed this time round knowing Inhave his support and love. My daughter is a well balanced and happy healthy young girl and being raised for 2 years by myself only has not harmed her, quite the opposite - I was all hers! I would never choose to be a single parent, but if I was pregnant and found myself to be alone to raise a child, I would pull my socks up and get on with it. It's hard, but it's also rewarding - all results are your own :) xx

Answer

Yes I always said that if I wasn't in a relationship by the time I was 18-19 I'd have a baby on my own.
