Nervous to do this alone

So I’m 28, I’m a nurse. An OBGYN nurse in fact. After a very toxic 2 year relationship with a narcissist I was so tired and wanted to have a fun fling. Well that fun fling has not resulted in me being 6 weeks pregnant. He doesn’t want to have a child, I don’t want an abortion. I haven’t told my family yet because I know they’ll be so disappointed and upset. I’m having an ultrasound this week so I figured I’d tell them after that just to make sure everything is going ok in there.

I can tell you it’s one of the most conflicted feelings being pregnant by someone I barely know while still healing from the traumas of someone else. I believe I’m ready for a child and it’ll be hard but I can do this. Anyone else out there ever been in a similar situation? It’s weird I had this feeling my whole life I’d start out as a single mom.

So nervous to face my family, let me know if anyone else out there feels my pain.
