My ex left me when i was pregnant, i sucked it up and went to school while preg and got my degree and took care of my child by myself. Millions of woman do it, lean on your family and friends and let him be a daddy....its not fair to keep him out of your babies life just because he bailed on you. It took me a while to not hate him but i did what was best for my baby. Good luck you'll be fine.

Thanku jenna.. it just happened recently. And the hormones aee all over the place rigbt now

My daughters dad left while I was pregnant it wasn't easy being on my own but I did it proved a lot of people wrong she's nearly 14 and doesn't want for anything and remember this : a happy home makes a happy mummy and a happy mummy makes a happy baby. u will be fine show him ur made of stronger stuff and can do it with or without him us mums can muti task and do anything when we set are minds to it good luck x

I wasn't preg when my ex left but my dd was little baby. i did what the other poster did. i got enrolled in community college so i could support myself and my kids. i never wanted to be put in the position of being dependant on a man again. If he wants to be in the kids life, get to court and get visitation and support set up after the birth . If he doesn't then it's his loss but he still has to support the baby. It was a very powerless place to be and it will make you a stronger woman. in the long run.

My daughter's bio dad got me knocked up while he was screwing someone else when I was 18. As soon as I told him I was pregnant, he told me that he wasn't going to pay child support bc we were never married and then said it wasn't his. He turned his family against me and it wasn't until after she was born that anyone actually believed that she was his. She had their facial features, but looks just like me. Eventually his family made him be a part of my kid's life and I gave him several chances and then he decided that I didn't deserve child support even though it was court ordered. He dropped the court ordered medical insurance on her. Now he is thousands of dollars behind in CS and chose to be with his gf instead of his kid. I am married and my kid calls my dh daddy and he takes care of her like she is his own, so she's not missing out on anything. I have cut all contact from her bio dads side. Give him a chance but don't expect much. Just saying from experience.
