I'm 25 years old and am 31 weeks pregnant. It wasn't expected and the father and I are not together. I only dated him for a few months and it really was nothing commitment serious. He's going to pay support, which I really appreciate and could use. The thing is, I don't really have anyone to support me emotionally. I moved in with family, which was the plan before i got pregnant anyways, to go back to school. I really thought they'd be happier for me and as excited as i am. I don't need much time or support from my family, but when i do need it or am counting on them, i always seem to get let down. I just get the feeling that no one but me is really excited about this little person coming into the world. Why is it that in 2004, people still have the stipulation that you should be married and settled down to have kids?? I mean if i'm fine with it, why aren't they? It just really makes me feel more alone than anything right now.

ill tell you one thing my family was not excited at all when i was pregnant with my first but once she was here they all changed their tune. Wait it out they may come around and also there are tons of support websites...I am a single mother not getting c/s and I live alone so I know what its like. God bless.

How did you end up dealing with feeling so alone when they weren't there for you? The way they are acting right now doesn't make me want to let them have anything to do with my baby once she's born. I mean if they can't accept her now, why would they later? I just don't understand why i have to be the only one going through this and they just get the good part at the end.

I separated myself from their feelings and concentrated on the happiness within me and the little miracle that was going to be brought into this world. My dad told me I had to move out or have an abortion I moved out he is now involved with both of my daughters and he actually came up today to see us. Sometimes we have to go through things to get stronger for other things that we will have to deal with later on in life. It is your childs birthright for your family to have the chance to be involved if they dont want to then thats on them but you really should give them a chance for the child. My FOBs gone and I let his mother know I had the baby and she told me that she didnt consider her her grandchild iposted my story under update if you want to read more, but I really needed to let her have the chance so that when my daughter is older she wont resent me for not giving them the chance. Good luck, God bless.
