Hi Amee,

Are you a member of the singlemomsurviving group? I think if you posted your question on our list, you'd get a lot of responses. To join, just click on the box at the top of my homepage (www.dotcomsinglemom.net) I believe several of our members are single moms expecting their second ( or third? ) baby. . .

RE: second time single moms


I will be a second time single mom. I have a 11 year old daughter and now I am expecting another child. I was involved in a relationship for two years and we were planning to get married. The father is 25yrs old and I am 33 years old. We decided to take a break from the relationship and re-evaluate the thought marriage. I found out that I was pregnant after we had ended the relationship. He has been seeing other people and enjoys the freedom of being single now. It was a struggle being a single mom with my first child and I just can't believe that I got myself in this situation again.

RE: second time single moms

I have recently just given birth to my second child as a single mother. Although,it is nothing to brag about, but I would not trade either one of my children for the world. I was fired from my job of three and a half years when I was four months pregnant. I had to move back in the house with my mother and my brother in December after being out on my own for two and a half years. I was involved in a relationship with the father of my second child(my son) for two years. I fell in love with him. I found out that I was pregnant after we split up. He had Already starting dating someone else at that time. He is now a wonderful father to our son and I would not have it any other way. If someone knows of any help please respond to this. Thanks

RE: second time single moms

I am a single mother of a 3 year old from a previous relationship and now I am 22 weeks pregnant. The father of the my unborn baby and I were engaged, he took on the role of daddy to my first then he suddenly dumped me. I found out I was pregant after the relationship had ended and he has nothing to do with me. In fact when I told him I was pregnant with his child he told me that I had to give the child up. I decided to keep it and he won't talk to me. He is 24 and is dating a girl that just two weeks ago turned 18. I pray that he gets it together and doesnt get her pregnant either. I dont have any support from him and little support from my own family but I am staying as strong as I can. I love my children despite the abandonment. I give respect for those who are doing this alone too. Remember that your children need you more than you need the other parent, they will love you unconditionaly because they are a precious blessing no matter what the situation!

RE: second time single moms

I am a third time around single mom. I am 25 yrs old and I have two children 4, and 2 and was with my boyfriend for over 5 years. I am now 35 weeks pregnant and scared to have a baby all alone. My boyfriend has come and gone out of my life, depositing children on the way. But he has never been much of a father to our two children. Recently I found out that he has been seeing another girl for over 2 years and also got her pregnant, unfortunately the baby was stillborn. He is now living with the other woman who already has two of her own kids and now my ex-boyfriend is playing daddy to her kids and I also suspect she is pregnant too.
I wanted to know if anyone else has been in my situation, how do I tell my children that their father is not coming home, and how do I deal with being at the hospital alone. Even though we have not always gotten along, my children's father has always been around for the birth of his children, now he is ignoring us. I just don't know how i will make it alone.

RE: second time single moms

Crystal,
Hang in there. You will make it alright. I gave birth to my second baby alone. Remember he is missing in action to helping you but he is missing out on the wonderful moments with your children, their firsts. I know you may be worried about that, but you are doing the right thing and he has to deal with missing out and being a punk, not you. There are so many things to be grateful for. You are doing the right thing and you have healthy children. You need to focus on you and know that one day he will realize what a jerk he is and will hang his head low for punking out like he should. But you stuck in there. You will make it. Take care.
