Pregnancy Info HOME

Awww do'nt be so hard and down on yourself.. How maybe months are you now? Its hard to be pregnant and not have the fater of the baby around. Its only natural for someone to move on and I guess he wasn't sure what was going through your mind at the time. Hopefully you will find happiness too, which im sure you will for you and your baby. Let him be a part of the babies life and be there when you need him. Let your friends be there for you when they want to help, so your not alone. Its much easier on you when you have people y ou love around you. Hopefully you come out of your depression. Being pregnant you are very hormonal to begin with yes, so your feelings will come through alot more probably. Stay focused on teh health of you adn your baby. Good luck to you.

Hi, Megan! I know this seems like a plug, but read my book, the Single Woman's Guide to a Happy Pregnancy. There are several chapters I wrote to deal with this sort of thing (can't tell you all I know right here-- too much info), as I went through the same thing with my pregnancy. Like sunshyne said, keep an eye on your health. Diet is really important, as these days there are lots of genetically engineered foods out there that can MAKE you depressed, and in our country they're not even labeled (organic foods are always best). In addition, you need to get on a regular regimen of meditation and/or positive affirmations. Watch that movie "What the Bleep do we Know-- it shows us how our att_tude can affect every area of our lives, and meditation/ positive affirmations/ and/or prayer can help with that. Another thing that will help is making sure your life is moving in the right direction, and simply to know that there are others who have walked in your shoes and have prospered. You're only 19 (and I'm SO jealous-- I'm old enough to be your mom), and you have a great life ahead of you, and having your baby at this age is NOT going to change the fact that you can take control of your life and live the great life you are destined to live. I understand your desire not to bring your friends down (I wrote a chapter on that too), because sharing your sadness with people too much can sometimes run them off. Of course, if they run away from you, there are always better ones waiting around the corner, but you need to get grounded and learn to tap into the Earth's energy for your happiness. Please check out my web site: www.singlepregnancy.com and see if anything there helps. Blessings to you all, MG

Dear Megan, Where do you live? I'm a single mom (25y.o) and would like to have you as a friend. We could help and encourage each other. I'm in NJ. From my expereince situation can seem hopeless and when you think you can't go on help miraculously arrives ;-) Fact 100% proven! You will see what I mean. And remember to love your baby as she loves you already!

thanks to all you who have replied so far!! Sunshyne- I am 5 months pregnant, due Jan. 4th.... Marigallion- Thanks for the advice, I already read up on the book actually and have been meaning to buy it, can i get it at a bookstore? and Samaya- I'm from Illinois...i would like 2 be friends!! if you have myspace my myspace URL is www.myspace.com/megmarie518. lemme know:)

It's a tough time, i know. I know how you feel about staying in and how friends change because your pregnant. I feel your depressed feeling, lord i feel them. But you know what, when we have these beautiful babies, our lives will forever change, and we will have new lives, it will work out.

I am in the SAME situation darling! I was madly in love with my ex and we broke up and now he has someone new. I've cried about it my entire pregnancy...if you have an email please email me, we are going through the same thing & I would love to get to know you. ashley ashleygrl05@hotmail.com thanks hun

You are obviously feeling down and depressed because the father of your child has moved on and is seeing someone else. That's enough to make any woman stay home and crawl under the covers for awhile. I do think that you need to get out and get some fresh air. Schedule activites with your friends. Lunch dates,movies, or just hanging out together in your home. This is a difficult time for you and you need to surround yourself with family and friends or your depression will worsen. He isn't the center of your universe girl! You have alot to live for instead of being cooped up in your room in the dark. You have a beautiful baby to prepare for, your self to take care of.....and a plan to get your life on the road. That should be enough to keep your mind busy. And don't kick yourself for letting this man go. If it is meant to be..things will fall into place. And if he says he will be there for the baby..believe him...unless he has proven otherwise. Take care honey. Get some good excercise..and if need be..see yor doctor about medication to take the edge off of your depression

It is hard to go through what your going through not pregnant and with all your horomones and this new life coming it makes it so much harder. One day at a time is the best way to deal with it. Don't dwell on his life..the gra__s isnt greener on the other side...Think positive and stay around positive people ! Good Luck.

Hi Megan. I understand what your going thru. I am 19 weeks pg, my husband lived outside the country. We only talk using internet. i always cry a lot & so depressed, too but everytime i cry my baby moved, maybe the baby doesnt want me to cry so i just started laughing..always think positive..ur baby loves u..prove ur ex that u can give everything to ur baby w/o him..i know its so hard to be alone during pregnancy but be strong & pray a lot, ok!..best of luck

HELLO, I WAS ONCE IN YOUR SHOES. I DID ALOT OF SOUL SEARCHING AND REALIZED THAT I HAD TO GET OUT OF MY DEPRESSION MODE AND FEEL ENERGETIC WHETHER I WANTED TO OR NOT. ONCE YOUR BOYFRIENDS LUST FADES FOR THIS OTHER WOMAN WHICH IT WILL HAPPEN REALLY SOON HE WILL BE BEGGING YOU BACK THATS WHEN YOU STAND ON YOUR FEET AND SHOW HIM WHAT YOUR REALLY ABOUT. IF HE SEES THAT YOU ARE MOVING ON AND FOCUSING ON YOU AND YOUR CHILD AND NOT SO MUCH HIM IT WILL GIVE HIM SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT. JUST HAVE FAITH IN GOD THAT EVERYTHING YOU WANT AND BELIEVE IN WILL TURN OUT FOR THE BEST. SOMETIMES A SEPERATION BRINGS YOU CLOSER . THE MAIN THING YOU NEED TO SHOW HIM IS THAT YOU ARE INDEPENDANT AND CAN DO IT ON YOUR OWN. WHAT MADE ME FEEL BETTER IS SHOWING MY HUSBAND BACK THEN MY BOYFRIEND THAT I WAS A STRONG WOMAN ONCE HE NOTICED THAT HIS ATTITUDE CHANGED DON'T BE HATEFUL TREAT HIM WITH KINDNESS. LET GOD DO THE REST...
