Sorry in advance if this gets too long, just looking for someone to talk to I guess.
I don't usually put myself out there like this, I'm a pretty private person, it might be my rising anxiety as baby time gets closer. Me and my sons father aren't together anymore, we met a few years ago when he worked in Florida but he eventually went back to Georgia. Last year we connected again and I went to visit him a few times and well, that's all it took lol. By the time I found out I was pregnant we weren't speaking and he was actually very nasty at first of course calling me names saying the baby wasn't his. It hurt a little bit that he thought of me that way but I was never worried about that because I knew he was the father. Well he eventually came around and told me that he wanted a DNA test to be sure but that he wanted to be involved. The thing that's never made sense to me is he's wanted to be involved the whole time, helped me pick a name, and even wants him to have his last name. I don't care because like I said I know he's his dad so I didn't have a problem doing those things, just seemed weird to me that he has doubts yet still wanted to do all of this. ANYWAY today is my due date and I'm scheduled to be induced Thursday, he says he'll be there but even though him and I are on semi decent terms I'm not 100% positive he will be. Now, I'm in no way doing this alone, my family and friends have been amazing but it does hurt a little that I may be doing it without his support. I don't want to have to fight him to be in his sons life and it breaks my heart that although they'll know each other my son won't get to have his dad in his life and know him the way he deserves too.
Not really looking for advice necessarily, just someone who's been in or is in a similar situation that would want to talk. I never really saw myself as being a single mom but I guess life had other plans lol
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
I'm a single mother to an 11 month old. It's been just me until recently when his dad decided to be involved. If you ever need to talk message me. I did pregnancy and birth alone (other than family).
