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.

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!
