Some advice and a chat

Hi, I am 20 years old and 29weeks gone, I split up with the father of the baby before I even knew I was pregnant, So I am doing it alone. I would like to chat to anyone who is going though the same thing, or who has been through it!
Or just a friendly chat would be nice.

hi ya im 24 weeks gone and the babies dad left me for his ex and now wants nothing to do with either of us and just the other day he took it upon himself to tell me he was getting engaged to her. He wanted to be a dad and said he would stand by me and then he took off. So im over it now and looking forward to having all the kisses and cuddles to myself. Being on your own is not that bad but its the feeling that u weren't good enough for him is the killer.

Hi... I'm 22 and 27 weeks this week. I'm in the same situation as you and it can be quite lonely at times... got my mom and sisters but sometimes it's good to chat to someone who's going through the same x

Hi, I havnt got lonely yet, But I expect when i leave work in two weeks time and on my own in the house, I guess i will get lonely then. I know that I have my mum and sisters as well, and again I would love a nice chat to someone other than them.
