Hi Jackie, I am also not single by choice by by life crcumstances..as for being a single parent I love bieng my own person and having my own life, it's actually the contact with XDP at the moment that makes life hard but you wont have that..

In my pregnancy I feltI did alot on my own, it's only nowiin retro spect I realise how little he did for me, I just kind of got on with things..

I would suggest finding some strong postive male role models in your child's life. I think that is the hardest thing about having a role model that isn't your choice for your child's father..

You will be able to chose all that when you begin..

All the best inyour pregnancy..and buildingyour support networks because they are very necessary both you and bubs..
