Congratulations on your pregnancy, and yes, you can do it on your own. It's hard but I just kept reminding myself that there are women who choose to do this on their own. A friend's friend lives in the US and she has been trying for some years to have a baby but was not able to and this year she has adopted an 18month old from Rwanda. I've never lived with my DP but we'd been seeing each other for 5 years when I fell pregnant a third time (first two occasions were miscarriages). He decided that he wasn't going to be a part of it, told me by text message that he'd meant to break things off anyway before Christmas. It was a terribly unhappy time. My BB friends advised me to do what he wanted and cease contact with him, which I did. A few months later he decided that he would, afterall, like to continue our weird relationship. Didn't mean that he was there for DS's birth, or DS's first Christmas, his first birthday or even the Christmas just gone. BUT I have a little boy who I love to the moon and back and I wouldn't change a thing. Your friends and your family become even more important and you learn to cope. BB is a fantastic resource and support. Welcome to BB!
