Hi ladies
It's unfortunate but comforting to know others are out there in a similar situation. Newmummy85, my fingers are all crossed for your man to at least give it a try in Australia. I think that's the least he can do when you're carrying the baby. I also think that the support he can give you while you're going through the hormonal changes would be great. Unfortunately my partner lacked the understanding of hormonal changes. Have you discussed doing a trial run?
Tecopa, is this your first child?
My story - i'm now 24 weeks pregnant and after a weekend involving the police I am newly single with court for a DVO on Thursday. I haven't worked since March when I was made reduntant, then 3 months of morning sickness, then no one wanting to hire a pregnant woman. Now that we are single I am on Centrelink Newstart allowance, I am doing a Productivity Places Program free course (Cert IV Training and Assesment) and also another free government funded course (Cert III in Events). This i'm sure will keep me busy but at the moment i keep thinking my future looks bleak and lonely and i'm scared too. It's hard to contemplate antental classes on my own, birth on my own and obviously the first few months of stumbling through when bub is here. Not to mention now we have to sell the house and I have to find somewhere to live and sell my staffy pup. These forums (this one and Mother and Baby) keep me going. I can't seem to find anyone in Cairns, where i live, in a similar situation though so i'm hoping to meet some great women in my antenatal when it starts. I do have great parents though and my sister is also wonderful. They'll be my new birthing partners I guess. It's not the same as sharing the moment with the man you chose to be there with you though.
I'm not working either and will be doing my studies on line so if either of you want to catch up on MSN just let me know:-). xxoo
