I'm in a lot of distress at the moment. My boyfriend left me months ago after I discovered I was pregnant, since then we've met up several times and I've had to listen to his excuses. I wanted him to stay for the baby which is due in December but last week he actually moved away ! ! I feel a idiot for actually thinking he cared and gutted for the baby. I have mild autism that goes through phases but most of the time it gives me minor grief. I learning to manage it better so that I can be the good mum my child deserves. My little one is due in December. I'm hoping he or she will come before Xmas so we can celebrate it together ! Definitely not looking forward to giving birth though... It looks so painful ! ! !
But I'm sure it will be worth it !

I am sorry you have to face this alone. I do not have a high opinion of men who cut out when a woman gets pregnant. It sounds like you are a loving woman and will be a wonderful mom.

hi. relating here. my daughter's father left when she was a year ago. birth itself can be done with anesthetics, if u are afraid. its a hard work, and important milestone, but not as boogey as one might think. wont give u health rants, u got docs for it. wont give u "all will be good". there is a hard road ahead. but if u love ur child, u will be able to raise them. although, u will need to adapt to splitting. it can happen, it can be countered with training. basicly, i am using extra streams of mind i've got to channel love and prevent splitting. i had to have learned it the hard way, on a frontline, so to speak. u have time to train. remember all the times u had mixed, different emotions. force that state. learn to rage and love at a same time, it can be done. and the more streams u have, the easier it will be to emotionally provide for the child. also mind, that having that mechanism brings its own danger, and u need to control it well. again, u have time to develop it in a safer and more controlled manner than i had. wish u success.

Well you seem like a strong woman who can handle a breakup. Who needs him. You will find someone to love you and your baby someday!

I'm sorry to hear about your boyfriend leaving you and your baby . Do you have family to help you?

You probably already know this since you're far along in your pregnancy, but hormones during pregnancy can make a woman hyper-emotional. I witnessed it firsthand with my wife when she would burst out crying for no reason and mid-cry she would sometimes start laughing and say: "I don't even know why I'm crying!! !!" and then that made her cry even more.

I hope you have people around you that can be support for you.

Hi, thanks.
Yeah I have my family by my side at all times with this, I'm very lucky to have them. Tell your wife I know exactly how she felt. It's really awkward when I burst in to tears for no reason at all, especially if it happens when I'm out :roll: luckily it doesn't happen all the time.
I am struggling with sickness at the moment, two to three times a day which is really draining me. Never mind in two months time my little one will be born and I couldn't be happier.

Thank you. I am enjoying it, the sickness is a little irritating but its been ok today thank god.
I've got a bit of back ache too but it's not too bad. Totally loving the experience though; can't wait for the little one to be born :)

from what i know by my own senses, and every other woman in maternity ward, ur own newborn is the most beautiful thing in the world. also, they smell addictively xd we'd take them, and just sniff their little heads xDDD

I'm sorry this happened to you. I imagine you're pretty cut up about what this guy's done, but believe me, you and your child deserve better than that! No decent guy leaves a woman when she's pregnant. In time hopefully you will find a better man, in the meantime, enjoy your pregnancy. Good luck with the birth :)

His name was Liam and we were the same age. He was a really nice man in the beginning but changed over time.
