And @nati86 you are soooo right !! We all do no matter how good things might seem on the outside I can bet you every mom has their emotional break downs but that's what's so awesome about us woman we break down then we pick up our pieces and keep it moving !!!

There are so many resources for single moms contact your government community based services they will walk you through everything, where I live they will give you a apartment if your in school and a single mom help you apply for food stamps and we have ktap which is probably called something different where u live but it's basically free money to help support your kids.. Just call around and ask girl there is no way u can fail u can do it there is so many people in worse off situations and once you make it through this rough patch you will be soooo glad you didn't give up on yourself

you should see me at times I'm an emotional wreck lol. but you know what I learn cry if you have to cry, scream, break something, yell in the privacy of your own home and when you done get up wipe your tears and keep it moving. we all have break downs sometimes.

hey if you do go into postpartum that's all right. your Dr can fix that. I had postpartum and girlllll its not easy but my Dr told me about St. johnwart over the counter vitamins that's really helps. I later was out in celixa for antidepressants, OCD, separation anxiety. and I plan on going back on celixa after baby for the sack of my other 2kids and baby lol. life is tough but we gotta do the best we can with what we have. I know you don't want to hear this but, you got this, no worries one day at a time.

What type of help do you need if you were to keep the baby? Have you signed up for wic? There are tons of services out there, especially for moms. Maybe you need help with depression? I am on medication for bipolar and it has changed my life so much for the positive.

I really needed to hear that. I swear I did. I just feel so out of control, like I don't have a handle on things. I know that once I see her, things will be different. I'll work like a Hebrew slave for her. I just don't want to go into postpartum depression..especially because I'm basically alone emotionally. @nati86

I'm sure your mom wish she was healthy enough to be by your side. but all she would want is for you to take it one step at a time. relax, seek help, read your bible, and do what you gotta do to survive.

nope never step foot in a shelter. talk to your Dr. their med out there that can help you relax. be open to the help. listen I'm not going to lie I had 2abortions in my life. I'm all for doing what you got to do. but your not in your begging stages anymore you baby is a full baby who's now just gaining weight and waiting to come. at this point you gotta pull it together you really don't know how strong you are till strong is all you got.

I know it's a little late, but I'm looking at it as an option. @mrskel1

What did you do? Go to a shelter and then they helped you? Because I don't even know where to start. I have zero help from family. It's like I don't exist to them. I honestly have no one really but a few people I talk to that I barely know. I already know life is hard and doesn't get easier. I've known this since the day I knew my mom was schizophrenic and I'd never get her back. I'm just so overwhelmed. I live in MN and winter is dang near here now. ugh. @nati86

I feel like I'm gonna have a nervous breakdown seriously. @jonellh

If you are seriously thinking about adoption and are already 35weeks I would start your research now. It will help you make an educated decision. If that's what you want to do I don't think there is anything wrong with it. There are so many great couples out there who are unable to have children.

what's wrong? I've been a single mom of TWO, not one but TWO. for FIVE years. I'm going on baby number 3 and I'm not with the dad. so I'm be a single mom of THREE. what's wrong? don't tell me I won't understand but I will. why do you feel like you can't do this? life is hard and sorry to tell you it doesn't get easier. nobody said it was easy. their is way to much help out there for you to think you CANT do this. why not I did it and still do it. with no high school diploma, no ged, no career and making $8 an hour part time. what can't you do again???

It's not to late but don't make any rational decisions, better days are on its way if you have faith and don't give up and let the devil have its way with you, you are in control of your future, Do what's best for you and your baby
