Are there any support groups for Pregnant and Single women?

i am going through the same thing you are hun...however i am 18 years old and have been dating my bf for about 4 months now and i just turned 5 months yesterday...as i found out the baby's father is an abusive person so i had no choice but to leave him for the safety of my myself and the baby...i too am alone trying to work and go to school at the same time...i had another bf for about 3 weeks and it just recently ended and i feel it was because of my pregnancy...i have less support than you however, my dad i never talk to and my mother is an hr away trying to get another job and my best friend is also an hr away and as of now, my fone is shut off due to an unpaid bill so really i have close to no one to talk to at all anymore...i see ur due the 19th, im due the 11th but i just went to a psychic and she told me it would be a few days early but i dont really trust her lol...but i feel i am going through the same pain and suffering and loneliness you are...im afraid if i try to go out and attract other guys that they will all turn me down because i am pregnant and i dont feel like anyone wants me anymore...and i am NOT good with rejection at all

Single Support Groups

first off-you are a very strong person for ending things with the baby's father. Im sure that there are support groups, depending on what area you live in. You may try going to a birthing class and meeting other mothers. Even if they arent single the struggles of actual mothering are the same, no matter the situation! I was a single mom for almost 2 years...if you feel like emailing me, feel free!!

Talk to friends and family, or if your more of the religious type, talk to your pastor, or priest. Or you can get a therapist. I don't really know about support groups, but you can always google the subject. By the way, I know exactly how you feel, in fact, I was there almost two years ago. My ex basically dumped me because not only was I not a partyer, but also because he was trying to get back with his ex, who was after him for child support, he of course didn't want to pay. I found out I was pregnant and since by this time he was basically living on the streets, I had to figure out a way to get a hold of him, and in this case, he of course denied the baby. I got a hold of his parents to tell them they were going to be grandparents again, and his mom didn't exactly sound thrilled, so I never called again. Three months after my daughter was born, he decided to try to get back in contact with me. I think that he was trying to do the same thing he dumped me for in the beginning. I'll tell you this, being a single mom is a blessing sometimes! You're free to raise your kid the way you want them raised, without nosey in-laws, or a partner who screws up everything! And you've got friends and family that will always be around to help you when you need it! By the way congrats!

Oh sweetie I'm gonna go on google and start looking up some sites for you. Just wanted to tell you I'm due August 22nd and I'm 18 years old.. if you want to chat sometimes (I'm a good virtual shoulder to cry on hehe) PLEASE email me through yahoo and I'll give you my email address<3 I'm so sorry about your breakup but you know you did the best thing for you and baby

Edit-- Here are a few websites I found and I'm sure you can talk to your OB about in-person groups in your area x

If you type in the city you live in + single mom support group (or single mother support group) you should find some good resources as well

I am so sorry you have to go through this alone. You are brave and strong and precious. You are right, sometimes you need to go it alone (though the journey is hard). I am part of a m.o.p.s. group in my area, which is a really good organization. The volunteers really show kindness to your children, and I enjoy the time with other moms in the weekly or bi-weekly meetings. Here is a link to a website that helps you find local moms groups http://parentingsupportgroups.suite101.com/article... , or you can call a church or community group that could help you find support.

Hey, sorry to hear about your situation, iam in a similar one myself. 14 weeks pregnant and the father couldn't careless about me or the baby. I don't know about any support groups but I think the best thing to do is definatly post online and I find ppl you can talk to free of judgement. I am so mid september so we are close on our pregnancy. It is a very hard and stressfull time but you decided to keep your baby, that shows how much you love it already and that so far is a very important step. Feel more than welcome to contact me and we can chat. Kittiekis23@tmail.com

Kittie-

Try looking for some pregnancy resource centers in your area. I went to one here in Missouri and I had to take parenting class or watch movies to get points. When the class was over you could use the points to go shopping in the store that they had at the center. Then if the baby out grew the clothes and they were in still good condition you could take them back and exchange them for clothes that your baby can fit or other baby items. Also try birth right or any resale shops that sale kids clothes. The clothes there are really cheap and you can also exchange clothes for new ones.

Check out the single moms groups on meetup.com

I ran 2 with 80 members total for 2 years.

If you have a Crisis Pregnancy Center near you, call and ask if they have a weekly group for single pregnant women, they should. They've had them at every one I have gone to. And judging from the group I go to there, It should be a LOT of help and support, they are fantastic.
