To all you single mothers,
i think very highly of all of you. I
have to admit that I was not a strong
enough person to do it myself so I decided
to have an abortion instead. Looking
back on my decision I have regret and alot
of guilt.
I've thought about what it would be like
to be a single mother and I wonder what it
is like. I see single mothers from time
to time and I try to imagine myself with a
child.
I desprately want to have a baby but I am
not in a relationship that supports it.
I've thought about getting pregnant but I
think I would just end up single if I do.
Single mothers having gone through
this...Do you have any advise?

I have some advice...Don"t do it. I am
currently 5 months pregnant and wish I had
made a different choice because I am not
emotionally prepared for this. I knew I
would have a breakdown if I terminated the
pregnancy, but now I am worried i'llhave a
breakdown if I carry this child and raise
it alone.
If you felt that way before, wait until
you are more sure or are in a stable
relationship.

Hi how are you? Well I've just became a
single mother. My daughter is now 5 months
old and I would have never throught that I
would be a single mother. I'm very
successful. And that all I wanted to be.
But I can tell you I'm so glad I have my
daughter and her father's not in the
picture. Everything would be an a problem.
He would say your not doing that right all
the time. So the answer to you question is
It's hard but if I had the choice to make
now. I would make the same choice, it mad
you a stronger person

In all honesty I chose your same route. My
fiance cheated on me, he was not in a
place to help me raise A child, I was NO
where near where I needed and wanted to
be. I had my reason to terminate, but in
all honesty, looking back yes it hurts
that I did it, but No i do not regret it.
I think of how I was growing up with out
my mom and what not and I promised I would
be a good parent. I made a decision. Im
living with it everyday. Look at it this
way, you are now MORE than ever ready for
your child, now all you need is that
person to complete you. I found mine and
he'll be home next year n we can finally
start our life together. Children are
great, but you need to be ready for them.
If you ever want to talk, Ive been there.

Hey Posted: 08-18-07 02:11am
Hello again.
I think your a very smart women. You took
your time and made the right decision for
yourself. I also made the right decision
for myself. Honesty I love it like this if
you new all the stuff he put me through,
you wouldn't believe it. See I believe
that everything happens for a reason. If
you didn't go with that decision they you
would have never meet the guy your with
now. I hope we will still commicate when
you do get pregnant. Let me tell you that
was harder than take care of my daughter.
I was sick the whole pregnancy. I also
feel like this i'm very pretty and
outgoing and when I'm ready I will find
someone to love Isabella & I. But for
now I want to spend all my time with her.
I'm very happy for you. I just cant wait
until you get to see him you deserve to be
happy. I will talk to you soon. By the way
my name is Melissa.

i have a friend that her son is 2 months
old and she realized and accepted that the
father would not be there. she seemed
okay. they had that understanding. The
father doesnt evn know that his son was
born and is healthy. me on the other hand
i am 11 weeks pregnant and i talk to my
baby daddy every day. we dont get alone
but the thought of my being a single mom i
cant imagine. i couldnt handle it. so for
those mom that are young like 20-24 and
single and doing good i take my hat off
toyou. i am having a terrible time just
excepting the fact that we are always
arguing and maybe oneday he wont be there
keeps me up at night.
