As scary as it is it can be done and when you are holding your gorgeous baby in your arms it makes all the stress worth it! I did it alone at 18 and unfortunately didn't have the kind of parents I could move back home to - my advice would be to take full advantage! You have got another 6 months or so to get your head some what around it - having a baby doesn't make it impossible to study, work and travel - just changes the way you go about it :) As for the Dad - it's his loss - but don't count him out just yet - it's probably a bit harder for him to swallow since he isn't going through the physical changes so may take him a bit longer?

Good luck - I am certain you will make a brilliant Mum :) The good times most definitely out weigh the bad I promise you!]]> Sat, 07 Dec 2013 15:39:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43750&PID=5855910&title=solo-mumtobe-scared-and-unsure#5855910 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43750&PID=5855882&title=solo-mumtobe-scared-and-unsure#5855882 Author: Fe134698

Hi everyone, I don't really know how I got to this website, but maybe I can find some kind words and advice from people who have been there.

I know having a baby is the most wonderful thing that could ever happen to anyone but what if it was unplanned? I am single, 24, no job.
In theory, I am very lucky, I know that, I just don't feel it. My parents are very supportive, got me to move back home to give me all the support I need, but this was never what I had planned.
I just finished my Bachelor, was supposed to move overseas next year to do my Masters. Now I am 13 weeks pregnant, no going overseas, no Masters. Plans cancelled.
I know the father very well, at least I thought I did. I dated him for 2 years, but we also broke up when I was 21. We met again at the wedding of our best friends and everything started up again, nothing official, barely anyone new about it. Now I am pregnant with his child and he doesn't seem to want to know.
Even though I have all the support anyone could wish for, I feel alone and scared and don't know how to get over that. I want to look forward to this child, but it just was never supposed to be this way.]]> Fri, 06 Dec 2013 23:19:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43750&PID=5855882&title=solo-mumtobe-scared-and-unsure#5855882
