Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Also anxiety isn't good either.
You've got to make sure you're going to all your appointments and take those prenatal vitamins! Eat healthy. I hate veggies but I knew my mini me needed that. Of course no smoking/drinking. You've got to remember everything that's going in your mouth is going in baby's too!
You're going to be just fine! Plus you have a supportive family!
There's a book I spotted 'What to expect when you're expecting' - try a 2nd hand bookshop or a library. The web may also have a ton of info.
Being a single mom is practically a norm nowadays. All those other single moms are also struggling and afraid - mebbe there's a group on this site or you can start one?
Try to calm down, and even start enjoying this new adventure you're embarking on. Congratulations!

I do hope that your bf comes to his senses. He really needs to man up right now; even if he does not support you emotionally and will not be there physically, he does owe you support $. The baby is half his.
How much time has he had to adjust to this news? Some of us guys need more time than others to react and act like an adult.
Gentle hugs
Yeah ... it pretty much takes 2 people ... at least.
I am kinda into the 'Family Unit' thing ... ever since that 'fell out of style' the whole culture has gone downhill. Nowadays .. couples can plan for a baby together. It should be a mutual decision.
Oh well, ... what the heck ... what's one more?
I disagree ... you do need to be concerned (worry?) about what he thinks/feels right now because he is the Father and he has legal rights. Legal rights that will effect you and the child and others for a LOOOOONG time.
